In Memoriam: Bradley S. Kisner

Bradley S. Kisner, who co-founded (with his brother Ken) Triangle Digital Inc. (San Leandro, CA) in 2002, died on Saturday, August 22, after having suffered a heart attack visiting family in Santa Cruz. The company joined with Sakata Inx’s INX International in March 2006 and became Triangle Digital INX. Kisner served the company as president and managing partner. He was 47 years old.

Kisner began working during his high-school summers at Triangle Coatings, then a paint company his father, Ned, owned. After having graduated from the University of California at Santa Cruz with a degree in environmental sciences, he worked in that field. When he returned to Triangle, he led the company in sales and marketing and transitioned Triangle into manufacturing digital inks in 1988. As the driving force behind Triangle Digital, Kisner secured international distribution and developed worldwide recognition. He was very active in community affairs in Lafayette and Contra Costa County, CA, and he avidly supported youth athletic programs.

He is survived by his wife, Jeanne; daughters Kelsey and Haley; son Jake; parents Diane and Ned; brothers Ken and Mardy; and sister Janet. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: Brad S. Kisner Memorial Charitable Foundation, 6100 West 96th St., Ste. 105, Indianapolis, IN 46278.
