Brad Roberts’s Celebration of Life
On Saturday, November 22, members of ECF’s staff and their families, including President & CEO Dail St. Claire, gathered at St. Peter’s Church in Cazenovia, New York, to give thanks for the life, Christian discipleship, and service of a cherished colleague, William Bradley Roberts (April 4, 1973 – November 2, 2025).
Brad, as he was known at ECF, was a vital part of the Endowment Management (EM) team and a seminal architect of the service infrastructure undergirding EM’s growth from $328M in assets under management (AUM) in 2018 -when he began his tenure with ECF- to more than $900M AUM today. In addition to his professional expertise and prodigious work ethic, Brad contributed dry humor, down-to-earth collegiality, and steady, deeply rooted Episcopal faith values to ECF’s workplace culture.
A devoted husband, Brad exemplified love and loyalty in his unwavering support for his wife, The Rev. Rebecca Roberts, in the pursuit of her calling as an Episcopal priest. Brad’s full obituary is available here. As Advent season continues, ECF cherishes its memories of Brad and its prayers of comfort for Rebecca in the Light of Hope.
