Peace and caring to him, and to all the family. Mary "Aunt Lou"

Brady, I have fond memories of you. I appreciate you standing in when my children were small and growing up. I looked up to you for that support. Thanks for being a great dad with Noah and Hunter. You are gone too soon. My heart is heavy. The heaviest it's ever been. I never thought we would have to go through this. Thanks for standing by my sister when she needed you in difficult times. We will never forget you for all you have done. I hope you're fishing high in the sky. Tell my grandma we trust her to be around you. She would always ask, " Do you trust me?" You would pick her up for family functions. I at a loss. You are free my brother. Love, Julie

Brady, our second son was born with long black hair, slim and long. We knew he would be taller than his mother or me. My wife Joan is ill requiring daily help and undergoing her third round of cancer treatments. See is very weak. I hope you will not judge us for not being there. We love Brady as much as a parent can love a child. I hope you will celebrate his life and not mourn his passing.

I asked Gina as a personal favor to handle these arrangements. Her courage and personal strength endears her to us forever. She is the hero among us mourners. I asked Hunter to be by her side as a leader among men. He has done an admiral job being a loving son. Noah never far from his family. Thank you to each of you for taking a moment out of your busy lives to celebrate Brady.

More importantly, I celebrate Brady and I am proud to have been his father. He taught me a few things along the way. I love baseball and his grandfather Cross loved fishing. It seems that Brady carried this prodigy forward in time that influenced Hunter. I suspect that Langston Ellis will come to enjoy the game.
Little did I know that playing baseball in the backyard with Brady and his older brother Rob would become a loving experience that included the entire family. Brady's nephew Jace will someday make us all aware of the game.

As a boy, Brady inherited his mother temperament: he was kind and caring. When eleven, I remember him looking at me in stands while pitching a perfect game in a playoff series. He was scared and happy the whole time. He would glance at us from time to time asking in his own way; did we love him? His mother would ring the cowbell hollering to throw them 'straight and hard.' Well, he did.

I watched him look at his son when Hunter was a baby. You could tell that his love was real and forever. These feeling give of all the hope that children everywhere will be loved and cherished. This side of Brady far outweighed any fish that might be caught or any perfect game pitched. As a father, I watched my son bond with his son; "A promise that last forever."

I don't know how to say goodbye. I can, however, see him fishing with his grandfather somewhere on a beautiful lake in another place. God bless you, God bless Brady.
