Brady Keith Park

A journey through this world on earth ended on May 13th, 2025. Born on April 23, 1952, Brady Keith Park, 73, placed his life in the hands of his Savior, at home, with his Lord, his wife and his son by his side. Brady will forever be known as a shining light in the lives of all who have had the privilege of knowing him. His time on this earth was one marked by love, compassion, and unwavering faith in God. We welcome you to remember him for the way his life was lived and for the profound impact he had on the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Brady left all who crossed his path with a lasting impact of the life he lived. “We will always remember you for your smile and laughter but most of all, your deep-rooted faith in Jesus and your unwavering commitment to spread love and kindness to everyone you met.” Being frugal in most aspects of physical things, Brady was graciously generous with others, never wanting himself to be the one getting attention. He never sought the spotlight but was more apt to patiently stay in the background promoting others. After graduating from high school and several years of college, Brady and Joan (Groseclose) married in 1972 after four years of dating. They gave birth to a beautiful new daughter, Rebecca Amy, that left this earth too early in 1973, forever leaving a space in their hearts knowing one day, they would hold her again. In 1974, a son, Denver Brady, was born. After having a precious, almost perfect daughter, this son was more than a handful. In 2007, God blessed their world with a beautiful 3-year-old daughter that needed us as much as we needed her. Trinity Swan arrived on our scene in a burst of joy. Brady was never more alive than in the outdoors. Beginning with his own children, his love for nature spread to all family children and grew throughout the community, teaching them how to fall in love with being outside. He led them to look and experience God’s handiwork with love and respect for the beautiful creation it is. Camping, fishing, hiking with a vast knowledge of trails, catching snakes and lizards – even cooking and eating them, hunting animal sheds, just a wild admiration of being outside was always topped off by an experienced moment of sharing advice on life skills and caring for others. He took this knowledge into his ministry (Profession) working with adjudicated juvenile boys that needed a positive influence in their lives. Outside of Brady’s work and love for children, he found joy in music and the wide-open outdoors. On an outing with Trinity, they were listening to music in the car. Bob Dylan was singing in the voice we all grew to love and admire, a little raspy and off-key. Trinity had been told to sing with her beautiful voice for all to hear when she inquisitively looked at her Dad and said, “I bet his mother is embarrassed of his voice!” With a love for adventure and a free spirit for nature, Brady spent many hours seeking the beauty and peace of God’s presence in the open lands and skies. Having a vast, unquenchable desire and thirst for knowledge, Brady spent many hours reading the Word of God or researching his many topics of interest or just simply reading for true knowledge. Puzzles, trivia, family games and football were family times we will all cherish being able to share with him. We will continue our family games with stories of Brady’s antics in our spirits. Brady’s dedication to his faith and his desire to bring light and a little knowledge to those in need was a small picture of his joyful and generous nature. He was never afraid to take on new opportunities to help others, always doing it completely with honesty and integrity. He carried strong values with positive energy and incredible patience, being well liked and giving his time to help others. “We are not flesh beings living a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings living a flesh experience” are the wise words Brady shared with his closest family and friends. Although Brady’s presence may no longer grace our lives, his spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. His legacy will carry on reminding us that we receive what we give. May his memory be a blessing and may we all continue his gift of love and compassion in all that we do. No words can express how grateful we each are for our lives being blessed with knowing Brady. Memories of Brady will forever live in the lives of his bride, Joan E (Groseclose) Park; and his children, Denver Brady Park (Megan) and Trinity Swan Park (Brogan Pacheco).
