Brady was SO funny and SO darn charismatic. I mean look at that smile, he was absolutely adorable, i’d try to be mad at him for play- bullying me at the age of 10 while I was in my late 20’s (LOL) but he’d make me laugh too hard because he was so stinking witty ♥️ I can’t believe he’s gone at just 18 years old. I luckily met him when he was 10. He always reminded me how cruddy my car was with no air conditioning or heat, and how my music was pretty much outdated LOL. But he always put a smile on everyone’s face with his contagious laughter, which made up for it haha. He was just so funny and so love-able. Alot of broken hearts down here kiddo. Rest now sweet boy ♥️ never will you be forgotten. I pray his family and friends find peace and strength during this time and for the rest of their lives. I love you guys. Thank you for letting me apart of your family and getting to know Brady. It was an absolute pleasure loving him for as long as I had. I’ll keep him alive with me forever.

I will never forget Brady and Kenadie coming to my Spanish classroom together to study and chat. Brady was quiet and kind of standoffish, but I coaxed smiles out of him and he opened up to me once he knew he could trust me. It was a reward to see a kid like him feel safe in the classroom space I created. Even after the year I had him in class, I really enjoyed chatting with him in the hallways and catching up on his life. He had so much potential and I tried to get him to see that as much as possible. His grandparents, Cindy and Ray were amazing neighbors and caretakers when others weren’t able to be there. My kids loved seeing them when we lived next door, and I’m heartbroken over their loss of Brady. Please know my thoughts are with you. Rest easy Brady. I’m so sorry this happened.

Brady, where do I start? You came into our lives as a 5 year old bright-eyed, curious kiddo. You have added so much to our lives. We were blessed to have another nephew! It didn’t take you very long to call me Aunt Kati. The nieces and nephews had another cousin. It was as if you were there all along! Brooke, Alex and Joey had another brother. Brady, thank you for adding to our family – you are so missed!! We are all very grateful you came into our lives. Now with much sadness, I pray that you are at peace. Until we meet again. Love, Aunt Kati

Brady was the greatest cousin I could ever ask for. Brady was super funny, kind, and easy to talk to. He always had my back and never made me or anyone ever feel left out. Whenever I think of the word cousin a picture of Brady pops up in my mind. He has always been someone to look up to and I will never forget how much he truly meant to me.

Brady Ray was the most outgoing, ambitious person I have ever met. I moved to Crete whenever we were fourteen years old and as shy as he was at the time, he came up to me on the first day of school and asked me what my name was and from there I met not only my best friend but someone I grew so much love for so quickly. Brady was so easy to love and to talk to. I could always rely on him for anything, whether it was a listening ear, a hug, or a laugh that would leave me in literal tears. I’m so blessed and thankful that over the last four years of knowing him, I got to see him grow into such an ambitious, confident young man. From the bottom of my broken heart, thank you Brady boy for giving me confidence and helping me believe in my goals and dreams, making me feel very loved and beautiful, and overall being the best friend I’ve ever had. As sad and heartbroken I am, I’m relieved that you’re finally at peace and no longer struggling. I pray that you will guide me and watch over my life. As long as my heart is beating, no one will EVER forget about you B. I’ll love you forever sweet guy.

Brady was a light in this world. We looked forward to seeing him at family gatherings and my girls loved hanging out with him. He was sweet, funny, and seeing him grow into such an independent young man was a blessing. Brooke, Alex and Joey never considered him a step sibling….he was their brother. God called him home too soon and we do not understand it but we will hold his memory in our hearts to honor him…son, grandson, brother, cousin, uncle, friend to many. To all those who knew and loved Brady I hope this thought brings you a tiny bit of comfort: “Perhaps they are not stars but rather openings in heaven where the love of our loved ones pour through and shine down on us to let us know they are happy.” -Eskimo Proverb
