He was born in Ellisville, Mississippi on Tuesday, July 8th, 1947, to the late Clifton Lee Brady and Marie Erwin Brady.

David was a hard worker from an early age and made a career in logistics. He retired from Energy Solutions, formerly Westinghouse Corp in 2015. He was a proud veteran of the United States Army having served during the Vietnam Conflict. He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Montmorenci. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed camping and fishing with his sons. David was an avid gardener and took great pride in caring for his home and cats. A devoted husband with a sweet smile, David cherished his family and was known for his kindness, humility, and silver hair. Most importantly, he loved the Lord.
