Support for Brady's Family in Difficult Times

It is with broken hearts that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Brady Cassidy. Brady was just 8 years old — a bright, curious, and loving little boy with autism who brought light and laughter to everyone who knew him.

On a quiet day when he was supposed to be napping, Brady wandered from the house and made his way to a nearby lake — a place filled with joy and special memories. It was there that he used to skip rocks and explore with his grandfather, one of his favorite people in the world. Tragically, Brady drowned while visiting that cherished spot.

Brady was making amazing progress living with autism. He was full of wonder, resilience, and had a spark that made every room brighter. His love for nature, his growing curiosity, and his unstoppable determination inspired everyone around him. His loss is unimaginable.

We are starting this GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses, and to allow his family the space and support they need to grieve this unimaginable loss. Any contributions, no matter how small, will go directly to Brady’s parents to help cover funeral costs, time away from work, and support services during this painful time.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers as we try to come to terms with the loss of our beautiful boy.

Please share this page to help us honor Brady's memory and surround his family with love.

With love and gratitude,

The McGovern and Cassidy families
