I knew Dave thru High School At Ramapo. My prayers go out to the family during this tragic remembrance of 10 years ago. Dave was a great guy and never had a bad word to say about anyone. He will be missed.

This is in memory of the 10th anniversary of 9/11/2001. I was given this name to post on my profile for memorials to the victims. It is an honor to visit your page and to honor you on my profile page on facebook. I was a volunteer firefighter and ambulance driver at the time of this in my home state of Illinois and I felt the pressure of all of this in our daily lives through the deed they done to us. I will never forget your name. May you RIP and my condolences and sincere thoughts to your family. Alan Dale Severs

I worked with David at Merill in the WFC and I still often think of his wit and wisdom, sadly I only had a couple of years to learn from him, he was an amazing mentor.
You are still in my thoughts and know oneday we will meet again

I'm thinking of David, all the others lost on 9/11/2001, and their loving family members.

Remembering the precious Brady family and especially David on this 9th anniversary. We grew up so sheltered and in such a wonderful town as Wyckoff and it's hard to believe the terror that struck and changed our lives forever on 9-11. Love and prayers to all the Brady family.

Thinking about Dave. Great guy. Good family man. Hope family is doing well.

David is my cousin. I say it because he is with me often. He reminds me to live through kindness and generosity of spirit, even when the other person doesn't seem deserving through my earthly eye. I wish he could have stayed longer so my daughter could have known him; so that his own children could have had him longer. I know he is available to all of us and wants to share that beautiful heart.

I wish my love and strength and hopes to you all on this sad day of remembrance. You are a brother to me, David, as we share the same surname and maybe blood lines. May God watch over you, and may love and courage surround your family. x

Dave Brady left a lasting impression on so many of us lucky enough to have known him. Words can't even begin describe him and his family. Glen Rock, NJ misses him.

He was my father. I didn't know him too well, being only six years old when he was killed. I appreciate everyone who contributed to this page. It is so nice to remember him through others.

This may take a while. I'll try to keep it brief. I met David Brian Brady in a dream ... exactly one week after the tragic events of 9/11. The dream made quite an impression on me. It was repeated, verbatum, the following two nights. I was in the second tower when the plane hit. I won't go into the details of what I experienced—Michael Moore's "Farenheit 9/11" does a very good job of it. (My jaw dropped when I saw the film. "That's exactly what I experienced in my dream!" I whispered to my husband.)

After the terror and destruction had passed, I found myself in the white light of heaven. Every soul who lost his or her life that day in that horrific act of terror stood before me. I was amazed. Three people came to the fore, the spokesperson for the group, David Brian Brady, and two women named Doris Torres and Dorothy Pearle Temple. I'd never met David before, so please correct me if the physical attributes are incorrect, but in my dream he was a 6-foot tall rising young clerk, aged 29, with strawberry blond hair, slight freckles, and a friendly, approachable "Mayberry" quality.

I cannot relay the entire dream or my astonishing company with these three people, but in short, I was told by David that he and the others had heard our prayers, that they were moved by our outpouring of love, that while they appreciated our concern they were, all of them, in a much better place. In truth, they were worried for US. He said that things would be much worse for those left behind. This handsome young man smiled benevolently at me and said, "We seek no retaliation. You must extend the olive branch of peace to all people. You are to be an ambassador of peace. I cannot impress upon you how important this is." These were not his exact words, but you get the idea.

I wrote countless letters to the editor prior to the invasion of Afghanistan; not one was published. I wrote the President of the United States in January of 2003 telling him that God had spoken to me in a dream and that he needed to take this seriously: He was not to invade Iraq. The customary form letter arrived ... two and a half months after the invasion. I mailed out 140 letters to various denominations in Albuquerque telling of my dream and its prophetic message of peace. The priest of my own parish did not respond. I felt increasingly isolated. But I did receive one thoughtful letter from an Imam at the Student Islamic Center just off the campus of UNM telling me that my husband was a lucky man to have such a compassionate wife. On Pentecost of 2007, I was in New York City for a concert at Carnegie Hall. It was imperative that I visit Ground Zero. The hair stood up on the back of my neck when I saw the names of my three guardian angels on the six wall-sized panels. I almost fainted. I ran to Trinity Church, sank into a kneeler at the side chapel dedicated to All Saints, and began to cry ... gut-wrenching sobs. This was closure on a deep, visceral level.

I just finished watching "9/11—Press for Truth" and was saddened that one of the survivors who lost his son, Bobby, thought that the American people were not sufficiently outraged or concerned by what had happened on that beautiful September morning. I'm here to set the record straight. I care. That all-consuming dream will not allow me to do otherwise. I, too, have lived with the nightmare eight long years. I've come face to face with every one of the victims, a thing not easily forgotten, and now, in death, they are all friends to me. 9/11 changed me forever. In no small way, I have your friend, father, brother, husband, and son to thank for that. David Brian Brady was one of the nicest people I wish I'd gotten to know in this lifetime. He wanted me to be a peacemaker, and so I continue in my efforts. I'm sorry for your loss, friends and family of this wonderful man. Peace on all of your households. May God bless you.

David,

What an amazing void you have left on this earth. No one has made a bigger impact on those they knew more than you have! It's hard to believe that eight years have gone by since you were taken from us.... There are no words to describe how deeply loved and missed you are!

Always in my heart!

God Bless you David. A great man, father, husband, brother and son. I think about you all the time. You had a tremendously positive influence on my life and I'll never forget the lessons you taught me.

*** Posted by Brett Sowers on 2008-09-11 ***

You, David, were the meaning of ... LOVE! I think of you often and miss you very much.

Still in the thoughts of my family and I. A fine man, David helped me fulfill my dreams.

God bless you, David. Loved the tribute.

On this fifth anniversary of 9/11, I can not help not to remember David Brady from Summit, NJ. We both grew up in Wyckoff, NJ and I would see him from time to time since graduation. In Ridgewood, NJ or at the Short Hills Mall - Dave was always a kind caring family person. We would talk a little about the financial services business being that we held the same career at NASD series 7 - Registered Represenatives. I remember the last time I saw David Brady was July, 2001 at the Short Hills Mall with my wife prior to us going to our summer trip to Ireland - my wife said to me after meeting - what a nice, positive guy David was... how true. I am sure you are very missed! God Bless you!

Its been five years now and I just came from the 9:00 am mass at St. Elizabeth Church in Wyckoff,nj. At 8:46 they began to read the names as I sat in my car in the church parking lot (820am radio). I waited to hear your name and then went to pay my respects to you and your picture in the church lobby. God bless your wife and four children and thanks for all the childhood and adult memories we shared. Paul Kelly

I WISH I KNEW YOU BETTER!  WHAT A WONDERFUL PERSON YOU WERE.
I ADMIRE HOW YOU PUT YOUR FAMILY FIRST BEFORE WORK.  I WISH THAT WAS DONE MORE OFTEN.  YOU DID THAT AND WERE STILL SUCCESSFUL.  WHAT A DREAM YOU MADE HAPPEN.
