Brady William Singleton , age 3, of Ducktown, TN, went to Heaven Tuesday, April 29, 2008, as a result of injuries sustained from an accident in Liberty, NC.
Brady was born July 27, 2004, in Murphy, NC. He was a gift from God to his parents Ron and Shirley Singleton.
Brady enjoyed driving his toy John Deere tractor almost every day. He had a great love for real tractors too, and his Grandfather would take him for long rides on tractors he named "big red" and 'big blue." If you asked him whose tractors they were, he would say, "my tractors."
Brady enjoyed watching sports, especially girls basketball at Copper Basin High School. He had many DVD movies and had special favorites such as the Lion King series, Tarzan series, and anything with animals. He loved going to the zoos in Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga and the Murphy zoo. Carousel rides were a big favorite for Brady also.
Brady enjoyed eating out in local restaurants. He would want to go in the Piggly Wiggly every time we drove past. He loved going into the Copper Basin Federal Credit Union and seeing Brett and the staff.
One of Brady's great joys in life was to go to Mimi and Papaw's house where he would enjoy the farm, eat the great food that Mimi cooked and play with his Papaw.
Brady loved going to First United Methodist Church of Copperhill where he would name the people he would get to see there on Sunday mornings.
A beautiful child has completed his assignment on earth and will wait for his family to again join him one day.
Survivors include his parents Ron and Shirley Singleton of Ducktown, TN, Grandparents Grady and Mary Anderson of Turtletown, TN, Uncle and Aunt David and Sheila Singleton of Ooltewah, TN, Cousins Angela & Joel Walton , Hannah and Hunter Walton of Memphis, TN, David and Phyllis Blankenship and Jim and Sharon Blankenship of Oak Ridge, TN, Judy and Don Bodnar of Atlanta, GA, and many others.
