Britt A. Badham
June 30 1968-Aug 16 2005

Additional Comments:

Back-We love you Daddy with their names

Britt Allen Badham 1968 – 2005 Britt was an extraordinary man who, 
for 3 years, battled brain cancer with unmatched courage, strength 
and humor. He viewed brain cancer as an OPPORTUNITY : to share his 
faith & life experience with those whose paths he crossed. His spirit 
was a bright light & inspiration to everyone. He fought the odds 
valiantly until his death on August 16, 2005. Britt's presence on 
this earth left an indelible mark on our hearts & his memory will 
be an eternal flame in our souls. His life was not measured in years, 
but rather in OPPORTUNITIES realized & God's purpose fulfilled. 
With a smile on her face, MacKenzie (9) described her dad as "cool, 
fun & amazing," while Nathan (4) proclaims, "Heaven is a pretty great 
place to be." May comfort always be found in knowing their dad's loving 
spirit is only a heartbeat away. 

Britt was born to Richard & Sandy Badham on June 30, 1968 in Puyallup, WA. 
He spent the majority of his 37 years living in Puyallup, attending Fruitland 
Elementary, Kalles Jr. High & Rogers High School (1987). Britt was well 
known for his love for soccer. Pierce & Bellevue Community Colleges as 
well as Whitworth University were fortunate to have his outstanding talent 
representing them. He also shared his soccer skills & integrity by coaching 
for Rogers High School, Fife High School & Skyhawks Soccer Camps, forever 
impacting the lives of hundreds of local youth. 

An Adidas tattoo adorned his right arm. Hiking, racing & blazing bonfires 
were a few of the activities that fueled Britt's inner child. Britt was a 
dedicated & respected employee for over 15 years in many roles at Milgard i
n Fife, WA.

His true love, however, was for his family & was an example for many. 
He & his wife Julie spent 14 years of marriage creating a lifetime of 
memories. Britt adored his children, MacKenzie & Nathan. They are a 
daily reminder of his energetic & fun-loving personality. Britt's sister 
Allison Mattich & her husband Tom played a huge role in caring for Britt 
and his family the past 2 years. Tom Mattich was not only Britt's brother-in-law 
but also his best friend. Britt's sister Dori Alpert & her husband Tom 
provided invaluable support & love during his illness. Alexandria, Isaac a
nd Samantha Mattich, Britt's nieces & nephew, thought the world of Uncle Britt, 
and held a very special place in his heart. Britt was anxiously awaiting the 
arrival of his niece Audrey Alpert. Remaining inspired by his courage & faith 
are his loving in-laws Jim & Annette Hazlett, godmother Carol Lincoln, aunts 
and uncles Bob & Jar Badham, Carolyn Thompson, Larry & Judi Miller, cousins Todd, 
Doug, Kent, Courtney & their families, along with many friends he appreciated 
more than words could say. Special appreciation & gratitude to the University 
of Washington Medical Center, Dr. Daniel Silbergeld, Dr. Alexander Spence, their 
staff, as well as the nursing teams in ICU & 4 NE, along with Dr. Randy Sorum, 
as well as everyone at Good Samaritan Home Health & Hospice. Your medical 
expertise & compassion have eased the way through this difficult & lengthy 
journey.

A memorial service & celebration of Britt’s life was held on Sunday, 
Aug. 28, at 2 p.m., at Calvary Community Church, 15116 Gary Street, Sumner, WA.
Funeral arrangements by Funeral Alternatives in Sumner.
