Donation protected

Bradley Danner Calvin of Grandview Heights, OH, age 43, passed away on April 24, 2022, at the James Cancer Hospital after a tremendous 15-month fight with esophageal cancer. Brad graduated from Grandview Heights High School in 1997, where he played basketball and his claim to fame, voted "Class Clown" and "Best Personality". He completed college course work at Columbus State Community College and The Ohio State University. Brad married Michelle in 2004,  and they welcomed 5 beautiful children together: Owen Michael; Adalyn Grace; Elly Gabriel; Aidan Christopher, and Emsley Ann. Brad was outgoing and charismatic; he always made you feel welcomed and loved. He enjoyed helping others and followed his passion into hospitality management. 

Brad was a valued and beloved member of our Bucket Family from 2008 -2014.  His last role with us was the GM of our Lane Ave location where he continued to create and foster many friends and impacted so many as a mentor and leader.  After leaving Rusty Bucket, he joined the Local Cantina concept and was acting Director of Operations up until his passing.  Brad remained a part of our family through all the strong relationships he cultivated and many of you remember the impact he had on so many.

Brad leaves behind his wife Michelle and 5 children, Owen, Ady, Elly, Aidan, and Emy. In an effort to support Michelle and her family, we have started a Go Fund Me page for the children’sfutures.  We hope the money collected here can help contribute to 529 plans for all of Brad’s children.
