We have a somber start to the recap this week. We were saddened to learn of the passing of one of the Veeam 100 Members, Brad Jervis. The Veeam Community is in mourning as well, there is an unmistakable camaraderie with the Veeam 100 members. We took a moment at the start of this week’s recap to remember Brad:

    Definitely was a sad moment to start the week as Brad was a fellow Vanguard and coworker.   Always have great memories and those are what you remember.

    Congrats to everyone mentioned this week.  Time will heal all wounds. 🙏

    Thanks a lot for taking a moment to talk about how great guy Brad was, our hearts are broken and it will take a long time to go through this. I created a memorial wall where you can share your memories or simply express your condolences to Brad´s family.
