Back in March 2021, we had just closed on our new home! Only weeks before Brady and his family had done the same just a few houses away! We were beyond eager to move in and get settled, even if that meant moving into the home in the middle of the night! We didn’t announce our arrival or ask for any help so we were surprised when we saw Brady and his two boys (Tanner & Caleb) arrive at our home at 10:30pm ready and willing to help us move in! They were beyond cheerful, friendly, and happy to help! Brady and his boys service was one of our very first impressions of the new neighborhood and ward! We were blown away by the love, kindness, openness, and feeling of comfort they provided! I had never felt such gratitude and because of their kindness, I knew we had made the right decision to move to Spanish fork! I remember saying to my husband that night “wow, this is such a great place with the best people” all because of Brady’s example! From that very first night we knew we had a friend and someone we could count on in Brady!

I grew up with Brady in Aurora and graduated with him from North Sevier High. I also worked with him in Richfield when I was a dispatcher and he was an EMT. He was always a kind and a genuinely good person. I’m sorry he left this earth so early. Condolences to his family. I’m sending you lots of love.
