He attended Point Loma High School in San Diego and traveled to Sonoma State University for college where he became a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Brady enjoyed his work as a bartender and server, or anywhere he could talk to people and enjoy personal exchange. He created friendships anywhere and everywhere he found himself, and continued to enjoy these relationships his last day.

Brady was a soccer player, a drummer and all-around outdoor enthusiast. He loved water sports, skiing, hiking, camping and anything fun. 

Brady loved life. His personality lit up the room and he embraced every moment that he had on this earth. Brady was someone who enjoyed meeting new people, having a good time, and left an impression on Sonoma State unlike anyone before.

Brady’s grandparents as well as his aunts, uncles and many cousins within the San Diego area enjoyed every moment they spent with him. Brady’s family is very close and will continue to celebrate the amazing legacy that he left behind. He was known as the spark plug and served as comic relief for his family. Collectively, they have lost their boy, but also their friend.
