Bradley Dean Julsen, 46, of 1403 Willow St., Clear Lake, died following his courageous battle with cancer at the Muse Norris Hospice Inpatient Unit on Wednesday evening, March 17, 2004.
Funeral services were held Saturday, March 20, at Clear Lake United Methodist Church, Clear Lake with the Rev. Janice R. Burnett. Interment was at Elmwood-St. Joseph Cemetery in Mason City. Those planning an expression of sympathy may wish to consider memorials to the Bradley D. Julsen memorial fund.
Bradley was born the second of four children to Carroll Julsen and Joyce "DeWitt" Julsen in Mason City on Sept. 22, 1957. He graduated from North Central High School in Manly, Iowa and then attended Agriculture Power Mechanics School at NIACC, graduating in 1977. He furthered his education by again attending NIACC and receiving his AA degree in 1980 and then transferring to Iowa State University and receiving his degree in Industrial Education in 1982. He worked as a substitute teacher for a few years in Mason City and Manly. During that time he managed the Rail Club in Manly. Brad was united in marriage to Barb Hebel on March 4, 1991 in Las Vegas, Nev. To this union was born three daughters. Brad joined the staff of FedEx as a courier in 1987 and later became engaged as the manager for the last six years of the 16 that he worked for them. He proved himself as an organized person who drove himself to perfection in his work and home life. He enjoyed fishing in Canada, hunting pheasants, ducks, deer, and wild turkey. As a golfer he strived to do his best, even scoring a hole-in-one at the Manly Golf Course. When he could he liked to play poker with his buddies, but often his love for his wife, three daughters and home projects came first. He was a wonderful father and husband and spent a great deal of time with his three daughters, honing their athletic skills in softball, soccer and most recently, basketball.
His strong will and incredible determination was evident over the past few months in completing projects around the home, while facing the reality of his pending death. Brad talked to everyone and anyone and his ability to teach and give to others was evident by just being himself around others. Brad had a strong faith, yet remained very private in his beliefs. At work he received numerous awards that were a testament to his personality and staying on task. These included the "Golden Falcon Award"- the highest award that FedEx bestows - for giving service above and beyond, which he received in September 2002. He was awarded the manager of the month several times. His regional manager had nominated Brad for the "Purple Pride Award" which is only one of 50 Humanitarian Awards given in the United States semi annually. This award will be given out in April. At the same time, Brad had nominated Sue, from the local office, for the same award which she will receive. Rarely are two of these awards given out at the same office at the same time. Brad was a member of the Clear Lake United Methodist Church, Ducks Unlimited and Pheasants Forever.
Those thankful in sharing Brad's life include his wife of 13 years, Barb, Clear Lake; their three daughters, Samantha, age 11, Taylor, age 9 and Alexa, age 6, all at home; his sister, Darcy Julsen-Miller and her husband, Vern, Mason City; two brothers, Mike Julsen and his wife, Vickie, Hiawatha, Iowa, and Craig Julsen, Des Moines, Iowa; his mother-in-law, Ila Hebel, Manly; many other in-laws and several nieces and nephews.
