Passing of a World Class Barefooter and Individual
|
Brad Pegg had the biggest feet in the South Central Region, but it was his big heart that made him a favorite in the world of barefooting. He died unexpectedly of a heart attack, May 30, 2010 at his home in Wichita, KS.
He leaves behind three wonderful children, Lindsey, Joel and Abby all barefooters like their Dad. Born in 1961, Brad was in the Men’s 4 age division; but he skied in the Open Division in wakes which reflected his true love for barefoot slalom. His personal best wake score was 16.2. In 2006, at the Senior World Championships in Adna Washington, he posted the outstanding score of 15.8 which earned him a silver medal on the world stage! However, the true highlight of the event for Brad wasn't the silver medal; it was being able to share his love of barefooting with his daughter Lindsey who skied in the Junior Worlds Championships which were being held in Adna at the same time.
There are so many great stories about Brad. We would like for you to go to the Barefoot Forum and share any fond memories and stories about Brad. Our plan is to gather the wishes and the stories to share with his kids as part of his legacy. Arrangements are pending and will post updates as the information becomes available.
