Mr. Bradley Matthew White of Rosamond, CA was born May 30, 1973 in Cheyenne, Laramie County, Wyoming. In April 30, 2018, he collapsed in his office at Edwards AFB, CA and was immediately transported by First Responders to the Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, Los Angeles County, CA where he succumbed soon after arrival. Bradley was the Creative Director of Media Fusion, Inc. where he specialized in video, animation, graphics, and photography. For nearly 20 years, Brad’s passion for working and supporting the test mission impacted the Edwards AFB community through his positive outlook and impeccable work ethic. He supported all squadrons located at Edwards AFB at one time or another. A small sampling of programs and projects he supported include: X32/X35 flyoff, X51, X45, Hypersonics, B1, B2, B52 various weapons uploads and tests. C17 tests include: Semi-Prepared Runway Operations, Falcon, MDA projects, dual row and CDA airdrops. Program tests include: C5s, F16s, and T38s. Test Pilot school includes: Class projects, graduations, and celebrations. Other tests include: F35 arresting gear, F35 Norwegian Drag Chute System, and various F35 multi-ship take offs. Brad also supported the RQ4 Global Hawk, Global Observer, C130 airdrops, parachute tests, jumpers, EOD, Muroc Races, Shuttle Landings, Edwards AFB Air Shows, Hot Air Balloons over Rosamond dry lakebed, Rosamond dry lake fly-in, just to name a few. Brad will be remembered most for his easy going nature and his compassion for others. His love for multimedia was evident in every job he worked. His unmistakable humor was present in every Test Operations Christmas video he produced. Brad’s talent and kindheartedness knew no bounds. He will be sorely missed.
