He also enjoyed great movies, music, and entertainment. “Shaun of the Dead,” “Starship Troopers,” and “Waterworld” were a few of his favorite films. Brady also loved listening to Ozzy’s Boneyard on Sirius XM and watching wrestling on Monday and Friday nights.

Brady was lighthearted and would do anything to get a laugh. He adored animals, especially his two guinea pigs Rex and Nacho. He was sweet, soft, and kind to his family and friends.
