Grady graduated from Lamar County High School. Afterwards Grady worked for Fayette Grain and Feed, then for A & P Grocery, then worked for Piggly Wiggly traveling to their stores as a Produce Manager/Counselor.
An important part of his life was marked by love for his grandchildren, Trevor, Lauren, and Casey. His joy became evident when they were with he and Dorothy. When “the doors were open” at Calvary Baptist Church n Starkville, MS, Grady could be found worshipping and praising God. He served there in the capacity of Deacon. Grady took the life as a Child of God with him into the workplace or wherever he went. Grady enjoyed his retirement in Starkville with his much-loved wife Dorothy. In November of 2021, he and Dorothy became residents of Generations of Vernon.
