Con H Brady, 84, of Highland, died of kidney failure at the Veterans Home in Payson, Utah, on March 27, 2014.
He was born in Fairview, Utah, on March 6, 1930, to Cyrus Heber and Eva Allowee Anderson Brady. He grew up in Provo and Ephraim, and married Mary Ellen Nelson of Moroni in the Manti Temple on August 15, 1950. They have three sons: Frederick Ray, Paul Louis, and John Kay.
In May 1951 Con was drafted into the U.S. Army. He qualified for Officers Candidate School and graduated thirteenth in his class of 230 men. He served during the Korean War as an infantry training officer at Camp Cooke, California, and Fort Lewis, Washington, and afterward in the Army Reserve as a company commander. After his discharge, he graduated from Brigham Young University and became a history and political science teacher at Orem High School. Except for one year at Samuel Ayer High School in Milpitas, California, he spent his entire teaching career in the Alpine School District, working as assistant principal at Orem High, then as principal at American Fork Junior High, American Fork High, and the Peterson School for the Handicapped. While in Orem, he also served as president of the Scera Corporation and as a bishop counselor in a student ward at BYU. He was well known and highly respected throughout Utah as a school administrator and was popular with his students. He retired in 1985 and spent the rest of his life restoring classic cars, for which he won many awards. He also loved camping, sports and music, and was a fine athlete and trumpet player in his younger years.
