Colin Brady's memory board

susan brady Sweet Baby Colin. Colins first trip to Myrtle Beach. This kid loved the beach from jump

Susan Brady They are my perfect little family

susan brady Colin’s first Christmas and the first Christmas for the Brady family of 5

Bridget Mills One of the many Christmas party’s with the Rocks, Fanchers, and Brady’s. We all grew up together and will be family forever. I remember a bunch of different hangouts where the kids would be one place and the adults would be another. Colin, Ellie, and I were pretty little and I would cry and cry and hug Kristen saying that I wanted my mom. Colin would always just laugh at me and call me a baby. I always reminded him that I was two months older than him

susan brady Colin had to be about 1 years old in this photo. Who doesn’t love the old time photo booths in Wildwood

Susan Brady This is daddy putting on Colin’s shoes up the Poconos. It really is a wonder my Colin ever learned to walk. Daddy always put Colin’s shoes on his wrong feet.

Susan Brady An Easter tradition. Gram and pop would fill Easter eggs for all the grandkids. They would search for their eggs and each egg had candy, money and a special message. Colin reading his special message at the age of 2

Susan Brady One of our many trips to Myrtle Beach. Colin loved the beach and riding the waves with Kristen and JohnJohn. They would stay in the water all day

Anthony DiBernardino This is the day he went from being the Baby to being a middle child.

susan brady Another one of my favorites. Colin in preschool. Love that hair

Sofia DiBernardino This is my favorite photo of me and Colin. It was just so cute colin laying on my lap on the bus ride back from Disney. I don’t remember this exact moment because i was so young but i know that we were both having an amazing time!

susan brady For JohnJohns 9th birthday we went fishing. Well look who caught a fish first. My little stinky. He was sooo excited

Bridget Mills Out of all the memories the one that sticks out the most to me of Colin is at my communion party. All of the kids were running around outside and playing towards the end of the night. Colin just starts to smile and as everyone is watching him he picks up a rock and chucks it at a window of the hall, shattering it. Everyone busts out laughing except the lady who owned the hall who immediately asked for his parents. No matter the situation he always found a way to make everyone laugh

Susan Brady Colin loved his years with the Warriors. But that is not why I am sharing this picture. Please notice Colin’s cleats. They are not tied. Colin was famous for not tying his shoes. I don’t think my Colin ever truly learned to tie his shoes properly.

Gabby Hammond One of our many family trips to Disney. Colin always knew how to drive me crazy. But he made me smile so much. Especially with his various accents. I was so thrilled to have captured this moment of us together, goofing off, laughing about Margaret and Francis.

susan brady Wilmington Blue Rocks would host local teams to come out during warmups at home games. Colin loved it. Look at that smile

Frank DiBernardino This is so Colin. Pop teaching Colin how to putt.

Frank DiBernardino We were at a hotel at Universal. Colin was racing John-John down some steps. at the bottom of the steps was a glass door with glass panels on the side. JJ made it through the door while Colin smashed into the glass panel and fell down. JJ and Grammy peed their pants laughing.

Jen Brady Brady family camping!

Sofia DiBernardino Me, Colin, John and Kristen were also bffs we did so much. Everything we were able to do together we did.

shannon edelman In middle school the place to go on weekends was St. Mary’s church because they had these dances for grades 6th-8th. Colin and I took this picture right after dancing all night long! We always had a good time at those dances. A couple other stories from middle school were just always hanging out at del vets and going to his house afterwards. We never took a lot of pictures or videos but I always liked that about us, we were never really on our phones and just enjoyed each other’s company. One time in particular Colin wanted to show me his room when we were home alone in seventh grade. Mrs. Brady called him to say hi and see what was going on and he told her we were in his room. She didn’t like that very much and told us we weren’t allowed to do that but Colin just said to her “ mom, it’s just Shannon we’re not doing anything.” Which we weren’t we were just hanging out as per usual. Colin and I had a couple classes in middle school and in every class we had we sat next to each other. My favorite class with him was Mr. Brown’s 7th grade science class. All we would do is mess around and laugh. The teacher would try to separate us but when we would go back to do labs we would get right back to it. That’s how it was with Colin though, how ever long we would go without seeing each other we just picked up right as we left off :)

Abby Windon the first photo is all of us who grew up together going to our first formal dance that was in 8th grade. Then the second is all of us at the first sallies freshman dance where our bonds from middle school didn’t break and we went into high school with our same friends. Some things changed throughout the years of growing up with each other but we always made our ways back to one another.

Sofia DiBernardino Colin’s 8th grade dance. Made sure to dress up just in case his date didn’t show up!

Sofia DiBernardino Myrtle Beach is such a fun memory that we have together even though it was such a long time ago. It is also one of the best memories of Colin bullying me so much that trip like he always does. #littlesisprobs

Abby Windon All of us at Markos farm for his birthday. While here Jordan Colin and I were all riding around on the gator. The gate was told be closed at all times after we opened it, Colin naturally left it open while going through. Later on we were told that all the horses escaped. Let’s just say that was our first and last time welcomed to the dewey farm.

Susan Brady Colin loved his Steelers. He loved sharing his passion for football and his Steelers with anybody who would talk football. We started taking Colin to at least 1 Steelers game a year home or away. My baby loved it

aidan bell This was the day of jordans birthday in 2017. The night before we all went out and then slept over jordans house and it snowed. We all woke up and for some reason colin was so determined to do a flip over the railing into the snow and sure enough he tried.

susan brady Colin loved laying on his Lucy. He would fall asleep on top of her. And she was the best puppy and would let him sleep on her

Kate Markowitz The scavenger hunts through del vets were such a fun tradition we all did each summer. Colin was so funny and did all the dares on the team that no one else wanted to do. Even though colin treated me like his little sister and would mess around with me, I knew he did it out of his heart because he loved me like a little sister. (Despite us only being like half a year apart) colin will always live on as someone I considered my brother and I miss hearing him constantly nag at me calling me baby Kate. Love you and miss you so much I’ll see you again sometime soon ❤️

Sofia DiBernardino We were at Cedar Point in Ohio and me and Colin went on several amazing roller coasters together.

mary carr 2 years ago today we went down to Wildwood for Colin’s birthday. His mom set up a surprise even though Colin wasn’t very surprised. We spent the day on the beach, went to the water park, and walked the boardwalk all night long. This was one of the best days because we all got to be together for him

susan brady Colin had an infected ingrown toe nail. I just loved how he was smiling in this video trying not to freak out from the pain

Abby Windon Here lies the most iconic Colin brady moment. Tis was the night of the Sallies junior homecoming and Colin decided to throw down at his house because of course the Brady’s weren’t home. While at the dance one of the kids who planned on attending the party texted Colins mom. Colin was supposed to be staying at his grandparents afterwards but he had a different schedule. Colin could barley enjoy himself at the dance due to all the stress of this party that almost every junior heard about. The dance ended and everyone was on their way to Colins. Colin had yet to even reach his house and kids were already showing up at the door. He was at his grandparents so i insisted on calling Adri to go pick him up so kids wouldn’t ruin his house without him even being their. That night Colin had to make it back to his grandparents so he then biked back. Colin always lived life to the fullest and I think this moment shows he could always make it happen no matter the road blocks

Annette DiBernardino 2019 Version of the Christmas jammies for the cousins.

susan brady New Years parade. Colin loved to march in the parade especially because it was with family. Colin would say hi to every kid along the route. He always grabbed extra of give aways so he could give to the kids in the stands.

Abby Windon Colin before high school had some growing to do in the department of being nice to his friends that were girls. He loved to pick on us and it was always out of love and almost like in a brotherly way. This day when we were all out sledding we found a bag and kept putting snow in it we started throwing it around at each other and it was a harmless game. I will never forget though Colin grabbed that bag and chucked it at my face causing the snow to go all in my snow suit. Now this may sound traumatizing but it coming from Colin it was normal behavior. I loved how we all had this relationship with him where we could say or do whatever and laugh about it later on. He had this connection with all of us and I will miss it the most about him. He was honest but always there for us if we needed anything. We could always count on Colin

Sofia DiBernardino Easter of the first pandemic year we still made it a blast at my house.We did a bunch of dare’s and one of the was make a tik tok with colin and john. I will never forget this memory!

Sofia DiBernardino This was at my Confirmation in my living room and such a fun day we had. I think this is one of the only photos that Colin is really trying to smile in because it was always such a pain to get both boys to smile in one picture. love that photo and will never forget it.

mary carr Riley invited all of us to see her apartment in West Chester. Colin had a whole photo shoot with me and Casey. Most guys wouldn’t be willing to do that but Colin was. We had so much fun this night

susan brady Colin’s ring mass via zoom. I told him be sure to look into the camera. He was one of the only kids who looked. Love my baby

susan brady From a Warrior to a Salesian. Same awesome eyes

susan brady Christmas tree decorating. Just some Brady family fun. We love traditions Last time tree decorating with Colin.

Annette DiBernardino Christmas Eve 2020 before we started our tradition of Minute to Win It games.

susan brady Christmas morning at home. We love traditions

Sofia DiBernardino Me and the boys were a trio and a squad we did so much together ever since we were little.

susan brady Some pictures from our Colorado trip. Colin loved this trip but I think this kind of made him happy he didn’t go to Utah for school. Oh and check out the last pic/video. We went snowmobiling and realized a trip that should have taken over 3 hours took us less than 2 because we did not know there was speed limit. LoL. We had a great time having Colin lead the way

Sofia DiBernardino Colorado and it was a very cold night. The sky was so beautiful we had to take a picture.

susan brady These are Colin’s puppies. Lucy and Sammy. Colin loved these dogs apparently this was like a TikToc thing he did. Colin loved his girls

Adrianna Rooks Sallies senior prom. I’m so glad I went to prom with Colin, he made me feel comfortable the whole time and didn’t leave me by my lonesome. Honestly the long drive there and back was the best part because we just got to talk/ catch up and chill. Wouldn’t trade this night for anything !

susan brady Graduation day. Colin and JohnJohn really enjoyed their time at Salesianum

Sofia DiBernardino Colin is my big brother. On this day it was Colin’s high school graduation and we were all taking pictures in front of this big tree. I think this is our best photo because Colin wasn’t a big fan of taking photos with me. I love this photo of the both of us and i hope you all love it as well.

Abby Windon Crazy Colin in his prime at senior week. We didn’t see each other much this week. The night before he left for PSU he made an effort to come meet up with me at delvets where we sat and chatted about all our stories from that week. Colin was one of the best people to open up to because he always told you the honest truth.

susan brady The family loved playing Disney SceneIt. All the kids consider themselves a bit of experts. Colin’s Disney knowledge and quick mind started to let him become a force to be reckoned with. Though he would often lose on final cut. The Brady kids were quite competitive playing Disney SceneIt so it always made for a quite comical night.

Richard Dever First ever college party ever at Penn State with Colin. Told me he knew people at this party half way across State College, we got in no problem. One of my favorite nights of my life that I will never forget. Love you Col❤️

Kyla Colgan I love these pics of Colin. He thought it was funny to catch me off guard & take ridiculous pics of me on FaceTime, but I got him back here & caught him with that big, special smile. <3

susan brady This is a meme or gif. JohnJohn picked his brother up from Penn State and John texted Colin on their way home to see how the trip was going. This is what Colin texted back. Always thinking he is funny

susan brady Colin didn’t share his social media with us so I was quite happy to see some of his old stories from his cousin Lisa. Colin will always be our GOAT!!

Sofia DiBernardino Turn up your volume! I don’t really have any words for the video I think it pretty much explains it’s self!

Abby Windon A couple of weekends ago I got to experience my first ever Penn State football game. It was the most thrilling and exciting event i’ve been to in a long time. Witnessing all the traditions and the fireworks after every touch down was truly amazing. But even after all that good when it came down to it, it was without Colin. I’ve always thought my first game would be with him. Where he would show me the ins and the outs of the real experience at one of those games. The excitement and thrive he had at the school only to see such a small part of its true picture. I know he was with me at the game in spirit and looking down but knowing i got to live through something he couldn’t really is what hurts the most. Knowing he would be proud of me for sneaking in the student section it should of been him who would of snuck me in. None of this makes sense or is fair in any way and I still have yet to wrap around the idea you’re gone forever. I miss you so much Colin and I will love and always think about you forever.
