Thomas Francis Kady

Thomas Francis Kady, 84, of Middletown, MD, beloved husband of Travis Zeiler Kady for more than 60 years, passed away on Thursday, June 12, 2025, after a cardiac event.

He was born on January 23, 1941, in Wheeling, WV, and spent his youth in Glendale, WV. He attended West Virginia University and George Washington University, where he earned a degree in political science. While in college, he began his 32-year career with the Central Intelligence Agency, which took him to assignments in Vietnam for the last two years of the war, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. After retiring from the CIA, he continued to work under contract for the Agency for many more years, which took him to countries all over the world. In between assignments, he resided in Middletown, MD, where he and Travis have had a home since 1972. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, in-law, and friend. He put family before all else, and he was a true patriot, always loyal to his country, the United States of America.
