So many of my memories of the Royals and their World Series runs are attached to Brady. If I remember correctly, seven, MetalHead and I started a "USA! USA! USA!" chant at Mae's once we won the series against the Blue Jays. There are few stories in my entire life that make me smile that big when I share it with others. eff, when I think about it.

Lol, we also sang the national anthem. I hadn't thought about that in a while.

Thoughts to all of you guys who were close to him. I also didn't get to know him as well as I obviously should have but he was a "must see" at FF and I would always make my way over to his table to chop it up. This is just extremely sad

Really sad news. I've been largely inactive on the board the past few years, and I didn't even know he was battling this disease. I only interacted with MH IRL a couple of times, but enjoyed his company. I'm very sorry for those of you who were close to him.

Grief and loss are inevitable parts of the human experience, and there are lots of places we can take them. I agree with Stevesie, I'm available to talk about real stuff anytime. If anyone on this board is in a spot where your grief is moving past sadness into something more desperate or you'd just like to process loss, I'm a pretty good listener and would be available. Dealing with hard things like this is part of my job now. If not me, then reach out to someone- even just to express your emotions outwardly so you don't sit alone with them.

RIP Metalhead.

Brady's sister is in the process of trying to get a gE account (Saul!!!), but in the meantime she wants to let everyone know who hasn't seen it on facebook already that she's planning a toast via zoom or similar on Brady's birthday January 23rd either all at around 10:30 a.m. or throughout the course of the day.

So, not that most of us need more encouragement, but plan on drinking a beer(s) that Saturday.

For the differences we may have, it's always great to see this community come together. I've thoroughly enjoyed meeting a few of you in person over the years. Wish I'd known your friend. My condolences on your loss.

This is Metalhead’s sister, Megan. Hello to my recently adopted friends. If you were Brady’s friend you are now welcome to be my friend. Hope that’s okay. Sorry to meet y’all under these circumstances. A couple of you I already know but I wanted to say thanks for being Brady’s friend and creating this thread to remember him. Here’s a link to the event I created. I hope you can join in. https://fb.me/e/Dp5CsknW My parents and I all have plans to revisit MHK when it’s a bit more safe to do so. We want to actually be able to meet up with a lot of y’all in person. Again, thanks for the love and support and sharing memories of my brother. It means a lot to us that you all took the time out to create this space for him. 💜

Go Cats!

Thanks Megan, I am working on a deal with Manhattan Brewing for Brady's bday and Adam is working on brewing The Juicy for that. Obviously understand if the family won't be coming down to MHK that soon with the pandemic, but we can probably send along pics and check in on the zoom.

Boulevard is brewing a beer for Brady’s birthday.

Great to hear. If any KC people can procure some for me, that would be very nice

This could be a pipe dream, but Zipline brewery in Omaha has collaborated with Boulevard before. Maybe we could get them to brew a batch for Omaha cats like SD, Havs and NeymarCat

MakeItRain · « **Reply #74 on:** December 18, 2020, 11:06:25 PM »

I'd drive down the highway to Omaha to scoop a batch up too.
