Bradan Caden was a skilled pilot who made a profession out of fertilized crops for years. He was happily married to his wife, Becky, who described him as a "happy man." One day, while preparing to dust a field of soy beans, Lefty Lem jumped onto his plane while escaping from prison. But when Lefty Lem's carrier pigeon, Pidge accidentally went through the plane's propeller, the plane went out of control and crashed into a window at Broadview Luxury Apartment Complex. Bradan was killed instantly; his body catapulted through the cockpit window and onto the plane itself. Glass shards were embedded into his face. The resident of the apartment, Conrad Fitch, was also killed.
