Brady will be terribly missed by his Arnod & Porter family. He was a great colleague and a very good man. Words cannot express how sad I am about his passing. My condolences to his family and friends. Nathalie Collard McCoy
Brady was specially gifted and « solid. » I could always rely on him to keep me in the loop on our project for over a year as a person with hearing loss. In turn I found lactose intolerant ice-cream for my kitchen mate and shared charentais melons from mom’s garden. Brady savored life and my prayer is that now he lives it to the full.
My thoughts and prayers are with the McFalls family as they navigate this challenging time. Dr. Greg Domecq
So many things I’d like say about Brady… After living with him at Ole Miss for 2+ years and sporadically spending time thereafter I had the opportunity to get to know a very special person. Brady was one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, but at the same time possessed a level of humility that I think spoke volumes to the overall quality of his character. Which I think is rare today Too many memories and shared experiences to recount here, but here’s something to give you a glimpse into what type of person he was…Every Christmas during and sometimes after college he would always buy (and wrap!) gifts for his roommates. Typically they would be gag gifts he picked up at a truck stop, but the fact he took the time and made the effort to do so has always stuck with me. Looking back now as a 46 yr old, it was an incredibly thoughtful gesture. I last saw Brady was in 2017 with other college friends. We spent time in Napa and were able to catch the Ole Miss/Cal game in Berkley. For that brief period it felt like we were in college again and while I would have loved to see him one more time, looking back that long weekend was a special time and I’m glad we were able to share it together. Rest in Peace Brady, you’ll never be forgotten.
My deep sympathy to Dr. McFalls, Mrs. McFalls, and family on your loss. I never knew Brady, but Dr. McFalls was my doctor for many years. ?
I’ll miss you Brady. I’ll never forget the beach and the many times at the Rivah together.
With thoughts of peace and courage for the McFalls Family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the McFalls family. We are so sorry for your loss.
Brady, I miss you more than words can say and am so thankful for all the fun times over the years. You will never be forgotten. May you Rest In Peace.
With deepest sympathy as you remember Brady.
Sue and Jim, I cannot believe tragedy has fallen upon your family again . My heart goes out to you and your family. May God be with you. Carolin aka Ringy
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your son. Sometimes, God tests us in unthinkable ways. May you get comfort from The Book of Revelation 21:4: “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes….” My prayers are with you and your family. Janet Scharp

Rest in peace, Brady. With deepest sympathy,
Brady and I worked pretty regularly for many years at Arnold & Porter, and I greatly enjoyed it. We both are natives of the area, so we shared common interests in our local sports teams, and we also had much to discuss. I’ll miss him greatly, and I want to convey my deepest sympathies to all of the McFalls family. Brady was a good person and will be missed.
The Mcfalls Family has been a part of my life for about 30 years now. Andrew is one of my best friends who I graduated high school with, and ironically Brady was one of the very first people I met at Cooper Intermediate (I was subsequently held back due to illness so ended up in Andrew’s class). I was honestly scared of the “big kids/8th graders”, but I specifically remember sitting with Brady at lunch that first few days, and him making me laugh, inviting me to eat with him. He had a very kind way about him, which was certainly instilled by Susan and Doc, and I feel very blessed to have known him. Damon
