He was preceded in death by his son, Tyler McGrady, and his parents, Billy McGrady and Betty Ruth Johnson McGrady. A proud U.S. Army veteran, Brian's love for his country was evident throughout his life. He was a devoted family man who cherished spending time with his loved ones, especially during the holidays.

He is survived by his loving wife, Angie McGrady; children, Justin McGrady, Ashley Taylor (Zach), and Jonathan McGrady (Nicole); grandchildren, Luke, Ellie, Jack, Kaia, and Carmack; sisters, Pam Gregory (Mac) and Cheryl Youngquist; as well as several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. He is also survived by his best companions, his loyal dog, Bear, and affectionate cat, Smokey, who brought him comfort and joy for the last several years. A visitation will be held on Monday, February 17, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the funeral home. A service to honor Brian's life will follow at 12:30 p.m. in the chapel of the funeral home. Burial will take place at 3:00 p.m. at the Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery, located at 8819 US Highway 301, Glennville, Georgia.
