ForeverMissed

Brady, age 18, started his next mission after succumbing to his life-long battle with uncontrolled seizures on Sept. 3, 2010. Brady was born on Nov. 22, 1991, at approximately 9:00 a.m. in Provo, Utah. He was entrusted into his parents' care about 12 hours later by a loving birth mother.

Brady absolutely loved life. His infectious smile and his big brown eyes could tell you everything he wanted you to know. He loved being outside. He loved anything to do with hunting. Big bucks were his favorite. His happy "squeal" let you know he was feeling pure joy and happiness in the moment. He enjoyed going anywhere with his dad, whether it was at work "bossing the job," "cruising for chicks" or looking at big trucks. He delighted in the normal brotherly relationship of pestering and teasing " and deeply loved his brothers even though he hated to admit it. He touched more lives than we will ever know and his influence has made all of us want to be better people.

Brady left behind his Mom and Dad, Darrell and Lori Thompson; his brothers Jordan Thompson, 22, Luke Thompson, 15, and Austin Thompson, 13; and grandparents Lawrence and Ruth Thompson, and Ron and Janice Simons; and literally hundreds of loving family and friends. Very special thanks to Sharon Jones, Brady's nurse, and our good friends at the Daily Herald who helped share Brady's story, and all those who have been a part of his life and gave him joy.

Brady, we love you forever. You changed our lives more than we'll ever be able to express. We know that you are still happy and whole again. We miss you! Happy hunting!

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2010, at the Lindon 5th Ward chapel, located at 610 West, 100 South, Lindon. A viewing will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 7, at 7 p.m. at the same location.

In lieu of flowers, a fund has been opened at Western Community Bank (with offices in Orem, Pleasant Grove and Alpine) in Brady's honor, for those who would like to contribute to help offset the remaining costs of his health care. The account is under the name of his mother, Lori Thompson.

I learned about Brady through the Thursdays Hero program and though I never met him, he truly has been an inspiration to me. I've always believed there were certain elect spirits and their families, that chose before they were born, to accept certain challenges for the benefit of those around them in their own progression. To teach and inspire of service, humility, gratitude, perspective and especially to have your priorities straight. So thank you Brady, for your example, inspiration and motivation to me to be better each day. Brady has done that for many people. Rest in peace Brady, I will always admire your will, fight, courage and attitude.

Brady, you are still in my thoughts. I am a stranger to your family, but I am one of your biggest fans outside that sphere. You continue to be remembered since I saw you in the production of See the Good in Brady Thompson. You are a great example of what goodness is about.

My Buddah Man! Nearly 3 1/2 years later and there isn't a day that you don't cross my mind. Sometimes with a smile, sometimes with a tear, but you are still today my driving influence to be a better person.

Happy Birthday Brady. You are always an example of courage to me and many others. You motivate me everyday. I keep a picture of you in my wallet to remind me to live life to the fullest. Death Be Not Proud. The goodness death thought it had taken from us remains with us through Brady's spirit and example.

We have an autistic boy who is new to our scout troop. He struggles with many things but desperately wants to fit in. It has not been easy. Some boys tease him or get upset with him when he does something they do not like. I decided to use Brady's video to teach the boys about love and tolerance and acceptance. Brady is still teaching us by his example. He is the greatest!

May 31m 2012. After watching a short video on Brady's life, I find myself, a grown man, sobbing uncontrollably. I have suffered with depression for many months now and something about Brady resonated in me a need to live a life of greater contentment and joy. This special young man gave me something by his example and smile. Thank you.... Thank you!!!

Brady,
I just wanted you to know that I was only joking whenever I teased you about giving me the Chicken Pox six weeks before Uncle Marv and I got married. It was a bond I enjoyed having with you and it makes for a great story...
I wasn't joking, however, when I used to tell you that I wanted your eyelashes and dimples. We miss you already, handsome boy!

That smile, the giggle, squeals of sheer joy, that "Brady dance" are completely etched into my heart. You had the power to light up whatever room you were in. The power to make people want to be be a better person and the power to inspire, lift up and comfort those around you. To know you and be a part of your life was one of my greatest honors.

Had to accomplish EVERYTHING

August 28, 2011

 Brady made sure all was accomplished before he passed away.  He finished filming with BYU tv the documentary about him.  He went and lead the pledge of alligence for the Make a Wish Ducky Derby (with help because the night before he had over 30 grand mals). He had to fulfill all.  He went hunting for deer with his dad.  He went to his brothers school to meet his teachers and say Hi to his favorite Principle.  He let his mom feed him 6 pieces of pizza and watched Harry Potter #2.  He had Graduated from seminary, had earned his Eagle.  He made sure he told his brothers he love them with words or with that gorgeous smile of his.  He gave all he had.  He is the perfect example of pure love for others.  His smile said all. The  lacking vocabulary words didn't get in the way of what he wanted to say.  He is missed still.  His example to the others his age will help them through their lives with how they were able to serve him.  He was kind.  I miss you Brady but I know you are finally accomplishing the things that your body made it impossible to do.  I know you are running and being the missionary you dreams to be... love mom
