Brayden Brady Austin Bishop

BISHOP, Brayden Austin “Brady” age 18 of Germantown passed away unexpectedly Saturday, February 18, 2017. He was born July 4, 1998 in Kettering to Craig A. Bishop of Carlisle and Kelly M. (Miller) Bishop of Germantown. Brady was welcomed to his forever home by grandfathers, Donald C. Miller and James Harold Bishop; an uncle, Christopher K. Miller and cousins, Kyle Owens, Danial Coffey, and Travis Brown as well as his dear friend, Levi Montoya. In addition to his parents, Brady is survived by his great grandmother, Myrtle Brown of Corbin, Kentucky; maternal grandparents, Nancy Sue (William) Brown of Kentucky; paternal grandparents, Arleene Zink and Laura Bishop, both of Miamisburg; aunts, Kimberly Owens of Kentucky, Mickey (Rick) Howard of London, Kentucky; dear cousins, Aspen and Kylee Miller; many great aunts and uncles and other cousins and a very special man who was like a second father to him, Roy Rogers as well as numerous friends. Brady was a senior at Valley View High School and would have graduated this June, Class of 2017. He was involved in football most of his life and held a deep appreciation for the game. He trained for his athleticism by eating as well as he could and lifting weights. He had even begun preparations for a dead lift competition to demonstrate his strength and hard work which he shared as a passion with his father. He was known to many as a “Mama’s Boy” and was proud of it, making sure “Mom” knew everything. Brady loved getting his Nana Nancy riled up by a discussion about politics and enjoyed shopping with his Grandma Arlene. Brady would often call his “Aunt Kimmy” for moral support or to just say “Hey Kimmy”. He would often razz his cousin Aspen just for fun and loved his friends unconditionally. Brady spent some of his spare time writing short stories, songs and inspirational quotes on his white board and never minced words but concentrated on the truth. He also enjoyed drawing and was a talented artist. Family will receive guests during visitation Thursday, February 23, 2017 from 4:00-8:00 pm at Gebhart-Schmidt-Parramore Funeral Home, Miamisburg.
