Brad Gilchrist

February 14, 1975  -  April 18, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Brad Gilchrist, a devoted family man, cherished father, and beloved friend, who left us far too soon on Friday, April 18, 2025 in Regina, Saskatchewan, at the age of 50.

Brad's life was centred around the deep love he had for his children and wife, whom he adored beyond measure. His eyes lit up whenever he spoke of them, and his greatest joy was being a dad. A man of quiet strength and a razor-sharp wit, Brad had a way of making people laugh even in the toughest moments. His sense of humor was as unique as it was uplifting - clever, warm, and always well-timed.

He was a proud union man to his core hardworking, steadfast, and unwavering in his principles. The union wasn't a job to him - it was a brotherhood, a calling and a cause worth standing up for. He lived these values every day - with quiet strength, dignity and heart.

Brad will be deeply missed by his loving wife Kandice Gilchrist, his children Brady Gilchrist, Austin Herndier, Joey Herndier and Zack Christante. He is survived by his mother, Leah Gilchrist; siblings Trevor Gilchrist (Tamara), and Alisha Gilchrist (Corey); in-laws Loren and Cynthia Ellis, sisters-in-laws Trina (Des) and Tara (Mike), and their families. He will also be remembered by his extended family and all of his union brothers and sisters and all those whom he touched.

Brad was predeceased by his father Dennis Gilchrist.

A come-and-go tea to honour Brad's life will be held on Sunday, May 4, 2025 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Turvey Center (upstairs), 100 Armour Road, Regina. All are welcome to attend and share their memories.

Brad, not a day will pass that we won't miss you. You will live on in our hearts and memories forever.
