James W. "Jim" Brady

Miss you, my friend always enjoyed umpiring your baseball games, Gonzo

Congratulations to the whole Brady family that Jim was recently added to the UMSL Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2018 and to be honored in February 2018. I'm sure he is pleased.

I was hoping that letting some days go by would help settle the emotions. I found, however, that the opposite has happened as Jim's passing settled in and five decades of memories flooded back. Dear Brady family and especially Kyle and Tyler, please accept my deepest and most sincere sympathy. So many things could be said but you all know how truly special he was and how much you will miss him. He was quite a man and Tyler and Kyle's words at the funeral mass aptly painted a picture of a...

My thoughts and prayers to the entire Brady family. I had some good conversations at high school reunions with Jim getting to know him better over the years. He was a very down to earth personable person. He did love teaching, coaching and was so proud of his sons. He was so honest mentioning the ups and downs of his life over the years but maintaining a positive way. He had a challenging but rewarding life.
May he rest in peace.
With sincere sympathy,

God Bless you Jim and your family!

Tyler, Kyle and Families.
It was not a coincidence that Your Father left us on a Thanksgiving Day. I, as well as many others, consider myself Blessed, or Thankful that mine and Jim's paths crossed.
On a beautiful Saturday at St. Gabriel's and then again at UMSL, Your Father was not finished with His work. Through Him I got to meet His Family, and His Friends.
Each step along life's way is filled with joy and new discoveries for those who walk in Love.

Before baseball consumed our lives. We officiated basketball games together at St. Gabs on Sunday nights. He had the keys and had to lock up.

So sorry for your families loss ad I offer my condolences. I knew Jim from working at UMSL back in the 90s. He was a good man and loved baseball and the kids that played for him.

God's Blessings. May Jim rest in Peace.
