Dwight Francis Brady

DWIGHT FRANCIS BRADY passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 13, 2024 at the age of 81. Beloved husband of Marilyn, who passed away just two and a half months earlier, Dwight is survived by his devoted daughters Heather (Marshall Posner) and Robyn (Mike Regnier;) grandchildren Julian, Daniel, and Molly; and brother Michael. Dwight was pre-deceased by parents H Dwight and Ruby, and brother Mark. Dwight was born in Aurora, Ontario in 1942, and lived in Toronto before moving to Fredericton to earn his Bachelor of Science at UNB. Immediately after graduating with the Class of ‘66, he married his sweetheart and whisked her back to Ontario to start their lives together. A wine connoisseur, classic car lover, and ham radio operator, Dwight loved everything from Bach to the Beach Boys, quoting Monty Python, blaring the opening five minutes of Top Gun on top volume, and telling corny dinner party jokes (let me tell you about Roy Rogers and the cougar that chewed his new boots…) He liked rare steaks, rice pudding, and a well poured pint of Guinness. He racked up frequent flier miles working as a management consultant, which allowed him to travel the world with Mairney and the girls, trekking across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and seeing the Blue Jays at spring training in Florida. Dwight was an adventurer, running marathons as long as his knees held out, and cruising the countryside in his beloved Mazda Miata, top down. He and Marilyn spent their summers by the sea in St Andrews, NB. He could be found relaxing in his hammock on Princess Royal, flying kites at the Blockhouse, and tacking across the harbour in his Mirror. Dementia began to claim Dwight’s memory in 2002 and he spent his final years in long term care. Many thanks to the staff at Shepherd Lodge for over a decade of patience, attention, and care. Cremation has taken place. A joint memorial for Dwight and Marilyn will be held at Yorkminster Park Baptist Church, 1585 Yonge Street, Toronto at 1pm on Saturday, May 11, 2024.
