Obituaries

Brady Alan Simonson, born November 21, 1997, At Luther Hospital in Eau Claire, Wi,

passed away unexpectedly at his home in the country on September 7th, 2024.

Cherished from birth by his loving parents, Chad and Denise Simonson, and his

beloved older sister, Samantha Simonson.

Brady was an inspiration to many, a legend some may say. From birth, Brady always

had an old soul, a big heart, and an endless zest for life. The passion he had for his

family was vast. Always reaching out to family to connect and make future plans. To

cutting trees and sharing motivational words with his dad, having long talks about life

with his mom and doing it all with his sister. He supported her in any passion she chose

for the moment and also dove in headfirst. He continued to carry this passion for family

and gave his heart to his son, Ivan Alan Simonson, when he was born in October of

2019. Ivan quickly became the light of Brady’s life. Brady was a simple man who

represented good character and values, inspiring everyone he met to be a better

human. Brady’s work ethic was truly one that only some can dream of. From the blood,

sweat and tears that went into every wrestling practice to lead him to be a 3x state

qualifier including state runner up, and to after high school into his career. Brady spent

five years in the electrical/industrial maintenance industry and a backyard mechanic,

fixing anything and everything for all his friends and family who asked. Brady had many

side jobs including his own tree cutting business, Simonson Tree Service. He took his

skills to Halverson Bros Plumbing and Heating for two years, which ultimately prepared

him to spread his wings and start his dream of his own business, Fabulous Heating and

Cooling.

Brady had such an infectious personality that it was impossible not to smile around him.

Brady had hundreds of friends, all from different backgrounds and he loved all of them

just the same, a special connection with each. A modern-day Johnny Cash, Brady

would always make sure everyone around him knew about his karaoke and dancing

skills. Cracking one liners and making you laugh without even trying was his specialty.

Always showing up with a new hairstyle or mustache, Brady passionately didn’t follow

trends and he was proud of it! Including his music, he was always the first person to find

the new hit before everyone else. There were many eras of Brady, and they all included

a new vehicle; sports cars, Jeeps, vintage trucks, and his latest project, his Toyota

4runner. He loved to spend hours in the garage with his son whether they be working on

vehicles, starting a new project, sharpening chains, or just two guys talking about life.

Brady enjoyed many adventures, mostly admiring the small beauties of life and

reminding everyone else to take it in. Long drives, walks in the woods bear hunting,

early morning sunrises. Pegging the phrase “Sunsets are free. Don’t miss ‘em.” Most

recently taking a dream camping trip to the mountains with his family, Brady always

dreamt of moving out west to the mountains and always said he would live in a one

room cabin, the simple life. All of these adventures included man’s best friend, his pup,

Copper, who Brady adored and was a constant in his life for 6 years.

Brady is spending time in heaven with his uncle Corey Simonson and his great

grandparents. Brady is survived by his parents, Chad and Denise Simonson, his sister

Samantha Simonson, the light of his life, his son, Ivan Simonson, the mother of his son,

Sydney Newton and family, and his fiancé, Gabrielle Scott. He is also survived by his

grandparents, Donald (Debra) Simonson, Dean (Dian) Larson, and numerous aunts,

uncles, and cousins. Brady is also survived by every single friendship that made him

grow into the amazing man he turned out to be.

Brady’s Celebration of Life will be at A-T Elite Performance Center on September 21st,

2024. Visitation will begin at 1 pm with a service to follow at 4 pm. Come as you are.
