Donald was the second oldest of the six brothers: Ralph, Lewis, Gene, Gerald, Kenneth , and one sister, Edith Brady Forman. Most of the brothers worked for Brady Lumber Co. at various times during their younger years.
His father was killed in a logging accident in 1929. His mother remarried in 1934, and his three half brothers, Larry Hill, Walter (Punk) Hill, and Bill Hill were born.
His mother died in an automobile accident in 1964, and when his oldest brother was also killed in a logging accident in 1954, he became the patriarch of the Brady family and was viewed as a second father by his younger siblings.

Donald operated a bulldozer when the I-5 freeway was built through the valley in the 1950s and for most of his life he was self-employed, with his wife Doris working by his side. In his retirement years, he and Doris lived on Prince of Whales [Wales] Island, Alaska, where he drove off-road logging trucks. He and Doris enjoyed fishing, beach combing and rock hunting on their many travels. They returned to Azalea, where he passed away on the property they purchased from his mother and stepfather in 1940.
He was a member of the Azalea Grange #786, which he helped build as a young man, for 83 years. He was an inspiration to his daughters and the male role model for his grandchildren. We were blessed to have him.
