He was a 1970 graduate of Clearview High School. He was an accomplished drummer. He attended the University of Dayton where he studied Chemical Engineering. He spent his career in the Nuclear Industry. He was a humble man who did not need accolades for his work. Much of it was cloaked in secrecy and behind the scene.

He earned the name of Wizard. The latter part of his career was spent in management. His passion was mentoring up and coming talent. He was an accomplished carpenter. He always said, "What I don't know my brother does."

As a member of Our Lady of Good Hope, he was active on the building committee and was involved in various community projects.

As his health declined, he spent time with his son John. They were exploring ways he could safely travel. They were close companions. They shared a special bond. He was always available to counsel his kids.

He was a loving father who enjoyed annual trips camping and boating at Dale Hollow Tennessee with his family.

He was a dedicated family man. It was everything to him. His jokes were corny and he loved a good practical joke.

It has been said that he was a man that other men should strive to be. Brady was a loving husband, brother, father, neighbor and friend. An extraordinary man. Known to his wife as her "Angel Man". We loved him well.
