Brady William Buechter, son of Bryan and Brenda (Moreau) Buechter was born on February 27, 2004 at Lincoln, NE.  Brady started his life with his mom, dad, and the twins (his older brother and sister) in Ceresco, NE.  When he was eight-years-old they moved to Casper, WY where he met his best friends for life.  Brady then moved with his family back to his father's hometown in Cedar Rapids and started as a freshman at Riverside High School.   Brady graduated this past May with the Class of 2022.  In August he started in the Theatre Program at Hastings College, Hastings, NE.

During Brady's short life he did many things.  At a young age he became a Marvels Universe Superhero fan, along with Dungeon's and Dragons.  He loved his games and even this last weekend had a game of D&D with his friends.  Brady always seemed to be the entertainer, he had a tremendous imagination, and he also planned out skits and plays for his brother and sister to have roles in. He also had a part in the Missoula Children's Theatre.  Brady played a few sports, when he was in elementary school he tried out wrestling and did pretty well, in high school he joined the golf team.  During his time in high school, and with the help of one special teacher Brady's talents began to shine.  He excelled in One Act and Speech, from winning outstanding actor in One Act to qualifying for state in speech.  He also played percussion in the high school band. Following graduation, he took a part in a production at the Grand Island Little Theatre.

In addition to his school extracurricular's, Brady also found time to work.  He started out at the New Frontier Saloon, then moved on to Pappy's, Albion Thriftyway, Pizza Hut, the Cedar Rapids Swimming Pool, and helped his brother with a 2 week long construction project.  This summer he and his best friends took a weeklong camping trip up in the mountains in Wyoming.  Brady also enjoyed dressing up for Halloween and going on walks by himself.
