Kris Brady

Kris Brady, 61, of Pinecreek, ID, passed away on April 27, 2024 at Kootenai Health in Coeur d’Alene, ID. After a long battle with COPD, the Lord has taken Kris to heaven.

He had worked many years in construction. Kris was general manager of Concrete Unlimited Construction Co. It was not just a job for him; he always made sure the clients received quality work and that it was exactly what they wanted. Kris was very dedicated to his job and sometimes known to be a bit “picky” about how things needed to be done.

Kris’ favorite time was always the time he got to spend with family. He loved to plant his garden (measuring each row so it would be perfectly spaced) having plenty of sunflowers in the garden to keep everyone smiling, going camping, picking huckleberries (making sure to measure each cup before freezing). He loved to go hunting and spend time at the lake either fishing, being on the beach, or just enjoying the fire. Kris also enjoyed setting up at a flea market and visiting with his friends.

His love continued to grow bigger and bigger with the addition of each grandchild. Over the past seven years, his eyes would always light up when he saw them. They all enjoyed many activities with their Papa. Kris loved to teach the grandchildren about how to safely use his tools including the names and what they were used for, showing how to plant the garden (they all loved going in the garden so Papa could cut up fresh veggies for them) going on “scooty rides”, reading stories to the kiddos and learning lifelong skills. These are memories they will never forget.

Kris is preceded in death by his parents, Al and Dolores Brady; brothers, Terry Brady, Scott Brady; and honorary brother, Rod Fields.

He is survived by the love of his life for 41 years, Claudette Brady; his two beautiful daughters, Merissa (Jeff) Marquez and Natasha (Jacob); his loving mother in-law, Shirley; and six grandchildren, Micah, Molly, Miles, Roen, Rylan, and Glen. Kris is also survived by his companionate sister, Michelle Lewis. There are many nieces, nephews, family and friends that were an important part of his life.

Kris touched the hearts of many people, he will be missed dearly.
