Friends, family, and fellow firefighters gathered in solemn remembrance at the Church of St. Francis de Sales in Belle Harbor, a place of deep personal significance as it was where Brady had exchanged vows with his wife.

In recognition of his bravery and sacrifice, the fire department posthumously elevated him to the rank of lieutenant.
