Obituary of Brady Scott Morrow

LCPL Brady Scott Morrow "Craig", age 22, was called home Thursday November 2, 2017 at 1:19pm at New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, N.C. He was born Monday Oct 16th, 1995 to Katrina Elaine (Tipton) Craig "Madre" and Brandon Eugene Morrow. He was raised from the age of 10 by his dad, "padre" Daniel Omer Craig.

Brady was a 2014 graduate of Mitchell High School. He dreamed of joining the military at the young age of 4. Those dreams came true when he graduated from boot camp on November 26, 2014 and earned the title United States Marine. Brady was a combat engineer at Camp Lejeune, NC and was assigned to the 8th Engineer Support Battalion, Bridge Company. He was a MKIIIBEB Operator that was skilled in knowledge involving IRB and MGB development. He was one of the most senior combat engineers in his company and highly proficient at his job.

Brady married the love of his life and best friend, Margaret "Maggie" Liane (Moore) Morrow, on May 23, 2015. He was a hero to his family and friends and served his country with honor, courage and commitment. Brady had a generous heart, kind soul and fun nature. He loved to make others laugh and knew how to turn the day to day grind into a moment of spontaneous laughter with one of his jokes or voice impressions. He made a difference and a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. His final sacrifice was to give the hope of continued life to others by being an organ donor.

Brady's interests were in American history, video gaming and building things. He loved to tear things apart and build them back up just to see how they worked. He was a hard worker and would lend a hand when needed. Spending time with his siblings, his dad Daniel, Uncle Cody and Aunt Crystal were some of his greatest enjoyments. He would video game for hours with his brothers Blaine and Kennedy, as well as his devil dog brothers. Brady and his sister Kearstan enjoyed the quirkiness and unique relationship that only a pair of close lifelong siblings can. There was no fun trouble unfounded by him and his Marine brothers.

He is survived by his wife Maggie of Jacksonville, NC; parents, Katrina "Kat" and Daniel Craig of Mitchell and Brandon Morrow of Crawfordsville; a sister, Kearstan Brock and husband, Landon of Williams; a sister, Sarah Craig of Mitchell; a brother, Blaine Craig of Bedford; a brother, Kennedy Morrow of Bedford; and sisters, Emily and Bree Morrow, both of Jasper; a grandfather, Lester Tipton Sr of Bedford and "Nana" Susie Nicholson; a great grandmother, Janet "Davis" Glasgow of Springville; grandparents, Donna and Dexter Morrow of Oolitic; grandparents, Mark and Sherry Kopsho of Bedford; grandparents, Gary and Susan Craig of Bedford; great grandfather, Clarence Hall of Bedford; grandparents Frank and Brenda Poore of Bedford; great grandmother, Chloe Morrow of Bedford; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Tina "Arthur" Moore and Charles Moore Jr of Springville; sister-in-laws, Brandi Scott, Virginia "Ginnie", and Lydia Moore of West Baden and Springville respectively; as well as several aunts, uncles, cousins, four nephews, one niece, and many devil dog brothers.
