Brady could be found most evenings
cooking dinner on his outdoor grill. He enjoyed sports, especially
baseball (go Royals), swimming and bowling. He also liked to ride his
bike around town. Brady had a love of photography and enjoyed taking
photos of nature and landscapes, and especially sunrises and sunsets.
When you went to Brady and Sheryl's
home, you would often hear his love of music - The Beatles, Fleetwood
Mac or Alabama - playing throughout the house. He also had a love of
Disney and enjoyed many trips to the Magic Kingdom. In fact, his
favorite dog was named "Mickey." Their home was their
retreat, where they relaxed, enjoyed yard work and landscaping and
would be found at 6:30 watching "Wheel of Fortune."

Scout and served as a den leader for his son's Boy Scout troop.
