He was well liked by his bosses locally and by the senior staff at the corporate level in Phoenix, Arizona. As his career continued, he was given more responsibility and was repeatedly moved to areas that were struggling. Brad had a knack for developing innovative ways to increase subscribers while maintaining a positive relationship with the community. Brad was well liked by both his customers and his employees. He was honest, fair and rewarded his employees accordingly.

Brad completed assignments in Texas and Oklahoma and was eventually transferred to Cottonwood, Arizona where he was tasked with improving processes and increasing customer subscriptions. His success there led to another move to Show Low, Arizona where he managed offices that included Holbrook and Winslow.

In 2015, Brad became General Manager for Southern Oklahoma Region. He retired in June 2024 and traded pressed shirts and slacks for the more comfortable attire of baggy shorts, racing t-shirts or bib overalls.

Brad loved to play golf and was generally the first pick for company “Scramble” competitions, based on his ability to provide long distance drives. He was always quick to note that accuracy was not his strong point! He also enjoyed quail hunting in western Oklahoma where accuracy was his strong point. Brad did not miss! He had a passion for racing cars and, even with a limited budget in his early years, managed to stay competitive. He thoroughly enjoyed fishing and is probably best known for his passion for grilling. Whether at the race track or entertaining on his patio at home, Brad could serve up a feast fit for royalty! He never met a stranger and everyone was welcome to join in.

Brad’s legacy will be his family which he absolutely cherished. He was kind and affectionate and passed all those great qualities on to his kids and grandkids. He always put family first, making sure they had whatever they needed, even if it meant sacrificing something that he wanted or needed. He never seemed to get angry and was blessed with patience. He will also be remembered for his generosity. Whether it be volunteering after storm damage, helping our Veterans, serving the community, or coming to the aid of a friend. Everyone knew they could count on Brad.

Brad was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Genevieve Dorsey.

He is survived by his loving wife, Cathy; his son, Joe Dorsey and wife Rachel; his daughter, Sarah Dorsey; grandkids, Tytus, Aida and Jaxson Dorsey; stepdaughter, Shannon Murphy; grandsons, Dylon Wheeler and Ethan Vasquez; brother-in-law, Shawn Harp and his wife Amber; nephew and niece, Currin and Kaylee Harp. He is also survived by brother, Dan Dorsey and wife Susie; sister, Linda Dorsey Merkey and husband Dr. Mike Merkey; niece, Madalyn Merkey and many, many close friends.
