Mark Brady Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gridley-Block Funeral Chapel on Jan. 14, 2026.
Leaped into his Mother Dianne and Patrick's arms on August 29th, 1968. Mark grew up in Buellton, California in a neighborhood where he enjoyed spending his time playing ball, riding bikes, he grew up in his mother's shadow in the garden, where he became very passionate about gardening, landscaping and horticulture. He even began his own small business landscaping. His talent in the yard led to a love of connecting genuinely with his customers, neighbors, church friends, and no one was a stranger to him. This concerning behavior created dozens of heartfelt lasting and meaningful relationships that he cherished his whole life. Mark said this felt like this was gift from God. Mark thrived in life as a husband and father to his three beautiful, amazing, cherished children Nicholas Brady, Taylor Brady, Hailey Brady. All his humble pride was wrapped tightly around his family. Siblings consisting of Tamera Brady Wolcott and Dave, Scott Brady and Wendy , Ryan Brady and Wendi. Mark is a devoted, faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. At age 19 Mark served a two-year missionary for the church in Columbus, Ohio. At the age of 28 he was blessed to marry Deborah for all eternity in the Los Angeles LDS Temple. Mark is a beautiful soul that always brightens up a room with his big smile and his funny markisms. Could go for Bar-B-Que every day of the week, loves the great outdoors, camping, photography, traveling every chance he got, putting a puzzle together, but most enjoyed doing it with family as well as playing Skip Bo, Uno and Monopoly . When given a task he always did 150% and always added his special twist to it. Mark was blessed to enjoy 29 years of marriage. Mark slipped into the eternities on January 7th after a very rapid sickness. He is preceded in death by his favorite sister Tamera Wolcott and his phenomenal Mother Dianne K Brady. Mark greatly cherishes his nieces and nephews and enjoys watching his greats grow.

Services for Mark will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints at 400 Spruce Street, Gridley, California. Visitation to begin at 9 am with Church Service at 10 am
