<div>Honoring a Hero: In Memory of Jeff Brady

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On July 5th, 2025, Jeff Brady made the ultimate sacrifice when he gave his life to save two young boys, ages 10 and 12, from drowning in the river. Jeff didn’t hesitate, he saw children in danger and acted without a second thought. That’s just who he was.... a protector, a provider, and a selfless hero.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Jeff had recently started a new chapter of life, moving from California to Yuma, Arizona just two months ago. He bought a new home to create a safe and peaceful space for his loved ones. Living with him were the two people who meant the world to him, Elen, the love of his life, and his 84-year-old blind father. Elen had left her job in San Diego to become the full-time caregiver for Jeff’s father, dedicating her days to love and service.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Jeff’s sudden passing has left a devastating void emotionally and financially. His twin brother Greg is now left to carry the weight of two households, including funeral expenses and daily needs, on a single income. The burden is heavy, and the road ahead will be long. The two boys rescued were his Girlfriend's young nephews and they both are going to need help with counseling and therapy. I know that Greg would never ask for this help but we know he needs this!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This GoFundMe has been created to honor Jeff’s life and to support the loved ones he left behind. Funds will go toward funeral and memorial expenses, immediate living costs for Elen and Jeff’s father, and support for Greg, who is now holding up two grieving families.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Jeff Brady died a hero, but he lived as one too. Let’s rally together in his honor and show his family that they are not alone.

</div>

</div>

<div>Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. Please share this and help us give back to the man who gave everything.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please keep his family and the Love of his life Elen in your prayers as we try to make sense of this loss. I am in shock and it hasn't hit me yet with the full force that I know will be coming. If you knew him, honor him by living with the same courage and kindness he showed every day. Heaven gained a Viking Angel ✨️

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Rest easy, brother. You’ll always be with us!
