Daniel Grady Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Thomas J. Shea Funeral Home, Inc. on Dec. 23, 2025.
Daniel B. Grady, 61, of Binghamton, NY, passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer on December 21, 2025, surrounded by his family and close friends.

Born on October 13, 1964, Danny was the beloved son of Lawrence and Constance Grady. He attended Chenango Valley High School where he was involved in many activities allowing him to showcase his vocal abilities. He dedicated over 30 years of his life to working as a Regional Sales Director for ICP-Astec and bartending around the Binghamton area. Most recently, he became a proud part-owner of My Uncle's Place. His strong work ethic, quick wit, and generosity shone through in each phase of his life. Everyone who knew Danny remembers the way he showed up: making people laugh, lending a helping hand, and pulling out his harmonica whenever the moment called for it.

To his children, Danny was a father beyond measure: dependable, endlessly supportive, and always ready to lighten even the hardest of days with a perfectly timed joke. Through his actions, he instilled the importance of hard work, kindness, and humor; values that will continue to guide them.

Danny is survived by his loving son, Kevin Grady, and daughter, Molly Grady; his mother, Constance Grady; his ex-wife, Kathy Mirabito; siblings, Laurie Grady, Tim (Pam) Grady, Cindy Fritz, and Maureen (Jon) Oakes, brother in-law, Rick Braun; his nieces and nephews, Amanda (Dan), Brian, his goddaughter, Lynette, Cody (Jamie), his Aunts, Patricia Heenan, Marcie Grady, and Vickie Grady; many Grady and Heenan cousins; all of his Reardon nieces and nephews, several great nieces and nephews, two more goddaughters, Katie and Jessie; his Reardon in-laws, Mike, Connie, Bobby, Elaine, Maureen, and Timmy; his business partner and close friend, Linda Trusky; and countless other loyal friends and customers. He is predeceased by his father, Lawrence Grady, and his brother, John Grady.

Calling hours will be held at Thomas Shea Funeral Home on Friday, December 26th from 4-7 P.M. A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Hillcrest.

The family would like to express their gratitude to so many who supported Danny over the past year. The doctors and nurses of Cleveland Clinic, especially Dr. Aucejo and Dr. Khalil, provided exceptional care and constant encouragement to Danny. Steve Gates (Gator), is also deserving of a special mention for his friendship and kindness.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Danny's memory to the American Cancer Society.

Though the final note has passed, your song lives on, Danny Boy.

Our hearts are with family and friends of Danny Grady; wishing we could be there to share in your grief and fond memories. He was loved by all lucky enough to call him friend. I have decades of memories of fun times and shenanigans with Grady. My fondest is when he showed up at our house, jumped up on the deck and sang his rendition of Happiest 50th Birthday to me; in that way only he could do.
Danny, Thanks for the fun and the memories we will cherish forever. You were one of kind in the best of ways. Godspeed my friend, welcome to the peaceful side of life

Met Dan 25 years ago and tended bar with him for 6 months. Instead of looking at the clock dreading going into work, I looked at the clock looking forward to going into work. Because I got to work with him. He was some kind of wonderful!

So sorry for my confusion. Getting very old and the photo looked so much like Tim. Please forgive.
