Work on `Amazing Things'
Friends and family knew that Brady Kay Howell was excited to be a presidential management intern, but he was thrilled when he was assigned to a civilian post for the chief of naval intelligence this year.
Mr. Howell, 26, a native of Sugar City, Idaho, went home at night bragging about all the "amazing things" he had worked on, his wife of five years, Elizabeth, said. Then he would tease her, saying he couldn't tell her about any of it because it was classified.
"I don't think anyone enjoyed their work — there were 14 of us — as much as Brady," said Aaron Otto, a friend and fellow intern.
Mr. Howell, an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, "was the kind of guy who would go across town to pick up a Star Wars action figure, because he knew that someone in his family collected that sort of thing," Mr. Otto said.
While planning a trip home to Idaho recently, Mr. Howell joked with friends that upon his return he would provide his Beltway buddies with original Idaho potatoes.

Like a kid with a new toy, Brady Kay Howell, a 26-year-old Idaho native, had a dream job as a management intern for the chief of naval intelligence. Navy officials earlier this week identified the body of Howell, who was working at the Pentagon at the time of the attack.
"He loved every minute of his work there," said his wife, Liz. "He would come home at night and say, 'I got to work on the most amazing things today.' Then he would tease me by saying, `But I can't tell you about any of it. It's classified.'"
Before working for the Navy, Howell received a master's degree in public administration from Syracuse University. He was a political science major from Utah State University. And he was an active Mormon, having served as a missionary and later as a primary teacher.
Howell was passionate about enjoying life, said Tim Stewart, a family friend. "He loved to work with children. He liked movies like `Star Wars' and he had a Nintendo 64. He was a kid at heart."
You will always be remembered, Brady. My thoughts are with your family and friends. Much regards.

Brady was good at cheering you up when down or brightening up a sunny day.
Make someone else's day brighter in Brady's honor. Liz is an example to the rest of us for her strength in adversity. Thank you Howell Family!

I'll add to Matt's entry by saying I, too was impressed with Brady's character. I always knew that he was sincere, and cared for others. Most of my memories of him stem from his campaign for student body president. We had a great time working on silly slogans and funny tactics to get him into office. I also remember he would bring anyone that sniffled much in class a tissue and tell them to blow their nose. It really bugged him when people sniffled, but it was funny to watch him. I also...

Sugar Salem's class of 1993 is celebrating its 15 year reunion this month and my thoughts have returned to my good friend and student body president. I grew up along-side Brady and his absence since 9-11 has been difficult for me. Brady was the kind of person that not only touched the lives of others, he shaped them. I'm sure I represent the whole class when I say that we miss our president. We'll never forget you Bradford K. Livingston Howell III

Dear Howell family,
I know it has been 6 1/2 years but it seems like only yesterday. On Sept 10th I had delivered a stillborn baby and my parents were at my home. The next day as events unfolded and we learned about Brady, we tried in every way possible to contact you and did not succeed. You were in our prayers and thoughts. Memories of those three weeks we spent with your family was the topic of conversation for months and our sorrow and love for you and Brady. We hope that your...

I didn't know Brady well...he was more a friend of a friend relation. I can say that he went out of his way to help me feel accepted. He probably treated everyone like that, but as corny as it sounds, he made me feel special...it felt like hanging out with the "cool kid". My heart goes out to his wife and family. He is certainly not forgotten.
