Condolences for the family of “Brady Rowe”
Gala, Steve, Kali and Katy,
We are so sorry. We will pray you through. Brady was just precious and we will forever remember that mischevious smile of his. He definitely had such a charm about him. We hurt with you. Everyone was totally blessed by knowing him. Brady is softly cradled in the arms of Jesus with that beautiful smile that will be missed by all.
Love from the Hornungs.
Thinking of you during this time in your lives.
Love,
April, John, Barbara, & Kyle Maruska

Steve and Gala,
I am truly sorry for the loss of your son Brady. Though I didn’t know him, you can tell his beautiful smile was very contagious. God Bless you both and your family for your loss.
Steve and Gala, I am so sorry for your loss of Brady. I did not know Brady but from reading the tributes on this site, it is clear he was a blessing to everyone with whom he had contact. It is also apparent that he is in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and is now experiencing eternal joy. I will keep you and your family in my prayers as you mourn the loss of your Son. I pray that God will, in time, transform your pain into joyful memories of your 23 years with Brady on this earth.
Bob
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you.
Brady, you were and still is truly loved by your family.
To The Rowe Family With Sympathy For Your Loss
When your dear son/brother is suddenly gone. Leaving you here to try and carry on.
To grieve in silence or scream out loud. To say harsh words or to just be proud of his courageous battle to the end. Knowing that you were his best friend, much more than Daddy/Mommy/Sister to this young man. You did everything to brighten his world.
He finally had to let go of your hands to start his journey to a Heavenly land.
Tears may run in rivulets down your cheeks. Sobbing in grief is not considered weak.
It helps with coping for the young and old.A healing balm for the grieving soul.
Wishing you a day of special moments in this time of sorrow and treasured memories to lift you up.
Love,
Carolyn Adams & Brian Dever Family

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Rowe:
I was Brady’s school nurse while he was at McGregor High School. He always made my day brighter after I saw and spoke to him. I will always remember his smile and how much fun he was with the coaching staff. He really connected with them and expressed so much joy to be around them. He brought so much to everyone that knew him and we miss him very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you during the difficult days ahead. Please always keep in your hearts how much Brady brought to McGregor High School and very much we loved him.
God Bless!
Dee Wiethorn
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Dearest Gala, Steve, Kali, & Katy,
I have pondered for days the spoken words from Brady’s beautiful memorial service and I think Brady’s gift and lesson to all of us left behind, was that if we LIVE SIMPLY AND LOVE DEEPLY & GENEROUSLY, and LEAVE THE REST UP TO GOD, our lives will be filled with sweet happiness. I don’t know if Brady ever saw his limitations, or felt as if his life was had obstacles. He certainly seemed to be the wise old teacher sharing the life lessons he knew to be important with all the folks who worried , loved, and took care of him. Brady only seemed to find pleasure and joy and love in everyone he met and I pray that those sweet memories of him help you all through this sad time.
God Bless Donna
Dear Katy and family,
We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May you feel the Lord’s hands holding you extra close during this time.
Gala, Steve, Kali and Katy,
I don’t even have the words to express how deeply sorry I (we all were) to hear about Brady. You can tell by the messages that have been written that Brady was very loved and that he brought joy to everyone that knew him. I know how much Nana and Papa Rinn loved Brady and just know that he is not only in the arms of God, but Nana and Papa are getting to hold their Brady once again Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Please remember, we are only a phone call away if any of you need anything.
Love you all,
Donna Blomquist

Steve and Gala, sorry to hear about Brady. I just want you to know that you and the girls are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you!
I am so sorry to hear about Brady’s passing. I knew Brady back when he attended Lake Waco Montessori. He was in our classroom. Ms. Moore was his teacher and I was the assistant at the time. I remember Brady coming to school with his fingernails painted and I’d ask him if his sisters had done it and he’d say "Yeah". Brady Rowe was a joy and I am blessed to have been able to know and teach him. I still have the star shaped Santa that Mrs. Rowe and Brady gave me one year for Christmas. I will miss you Brady.
Love,
Mrs. Lackey
Life Skills Teacher

Kali and family,
I am so sad to hear about Brady passing. I only got to meet Brady a few times when I visited your you in Waco. Of those times, my most vivid memory of Brady was during a family dinner. It was evident that Brady brought so much joy and laughter to your family. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Gala and Steve, I was so saddened to hear of your loss of Brady. The enormous love you possessed for him was reflected in his beautiful smile. I can only imagine the smiles in heaven when he was reunited with Mr. and Mrs. Rinn. I know all the wonderful memories will help you during the coming days and months. God truly picked the right parents for such an incredible young man! Much love to you, Linnea

Dr. Rowe and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Brady. I remember him coming to visit up on the L&D floor. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
What a handsome young man Brady grew up to be (not that he wasn’t before but we thought of him as having
‘pretty’ eyes and smile as a boy). It has been a few years since we, (Tobe and I)at The Arc, have seen him but remember him fondly as a sweet boy with that contagious smile. I was saddened to read of your loss. On behalf of myself and The Arc, my sincere sympathy to you and your family at this time of grief. I know you will be sustained by the wonderful memories and the love that was shared by your family. May God rest his gentle hand upon you and give you peace and comfort at this difficult time. Ovida
Brady brought joy wherever he went. He will be remembered as a kind, smart and handsome young man with an amazing sense of humor and just enough bad boy in him to run over your toes with a huge grin on his face. He will be missed, my love and prayers go to his family who surrounded him with love and care all his life.
Gayle and Steve, our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Hebert Family
I cannot tell you how much of a joy it was to be able to spend time with Brady every morning and afternoon taking him to and from school. His smile and laugh brought light into my life. I enjoyed his glowing personality and that smile was so contagious. When I made up the song about Brady (I gave you a copy at his graduation party at St. Catherine’s) and would sing it to him some days, we would have a laughing good time. He never tired of it. I think he knew what a special young man he was and that he touched the lives of so many people. There are not a lot of jobs that one can say brings pure joy, but driving Brady was one for me.
Death is such a terrible enemy to us all and it is with heartfelt sympathy that I extend my condolences to all of Brady’s family.
Pam Chandler
I am sending my deepest sympathy to the Rowe family.
Brady attended Lake Waco where I was principal and we all loved our time with Brady. He will be truly missed.

Love always,
