Brady Boy was truly our miracle. After years of hoping and praying, he came into our lives later in life and completed our family in every possible way. From the very beginning, he was a joyful, happy soul who brought light and laughter into our home.

Brady completed us, and we are grateful for the countless memories we shared together-holidays filled with laughter, family trips, and simple, cherished moments of just being together. He knew how deeply he was loved and how special he was to us and to our entire family.

Brady had a gift for friendship and touched the lives of so many around him. Over the years, he built a large and loyal circle of friends and loved spending time with them, whether on adventures or simply hanging out. His kind heart, vibrant spirit, and the joy he brought to those who knew him will live on in all of us.

Brady was a cheerful child who embraced the beauty of his Lowcountry surroundings. With a passion for fishing, boating, and appreciating nature, he developed a deep bond with the outdoors. He was known as an avid swimmer and had a keen interest in track and football, proudly supporting his favorite teams, the Clemson Tigers and the Buffalo Bills. Music played an important role in his life; he enjoyed every genre and expressed his love playing the harmonica.

Brady’s most treasured moments were spent with friends and family. He had a special and close relationship with his grandmother, Patricia S. Patterson, who was instrumental in his upbringing. Summer camping trips with his grandfather, Raymond J. Patterson and step-grandmother, Darcy, were especially memorable, where they forged lasting memories in the great outdoors. A curious and brave child, Brady never met a reptile he wouldn't pick up, illustrating his adventurous spirit and love for exploration.

His zest for life was evident in all he did. Whether kneeboarding or traveling, Brady found joy in every experience, especially being in his beloved South Carolina, which he proudly called home.

He leaves behind his loving parents, Daniel Matthew Kienzle and Robin Patterson Kienzle, of Mount Pleasant. His legacy also includes his grandparents, Patricia S. Patterson and Raymond J. Patterson (Darcy); a close-knit extended family comprising his aunts and uncles, Ryan Patterson (Richard), Raymond J. Patterson (Chrissy Drenga), Rhett J. Patterson, Jeffrey Kienzle (Yola), and Scott Kienzle (Amie); as well as numerous cousins including Ryan, Harlow, Jasper, and Chase, all of whom will miss him dearly. Brady is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, William F. Kienzle (Janet) and Diane Kienzle.
