VIDEO: Firefighters, relatives and friends packed a Queens church Saturday to bid farewell to FDNY firefighter Patrick Brady, who died in the line of duty one week ago.
His casket, draped by an American flag, was brought to the Church of St. Francis de Sales in Belle Harbor atop “Ladder 120,” from the firehouse he served since 2022.
“Patrick’s heart will always be alive and well, beating harder than ever before,” said Battalion Chief Scott Coyne, the former Captain of Ladder 120. “Patrick, my friend, you did an outstanding job. It was an honor to serve with you. You laid a foundation and left us in a better place than when you found us.”
“Pat was always there for everyone,” Lt. Kevin Healy told mourners. “He was always there for the brothers, he was always there for me and looking back at last Saturday night when Pat gave his live for the calling, I wish I was there for him.”
