Family of tragic chef shot dead in US thank people of Ireland for support in 'harrowing time'
Two juveniles, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have been charged in connection with his murder
The family of Nenagh chef Shaun Brady, who was shot dead in Kansas City in Missouri last month, have thanked the people of Ireland and the US “for all their support and messages during this harrowing time.”
In a notice on Rip.ie the loved ones of Mr Brady of Lenexa, Kansas City and formerly of Summerhill in Nenagh say that Shaun was “taken tragically” on August 28th. Mr Brady was targeted outside of his restaurant in the Brookside area of Kansas City after he intervened in the robbery of a vehicle from a car park. Two juveniles, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have been charged in connection with his murder.
The ‘doting’ father is survived by his wife Katie and their young children Seamus and Mary. He is also mourned by his mother Mary and his siblings Vivian, Sandra and Damien.

The notice reads that Shaun is “sadly missed” by his “heartbroken” family, mother, sisters and brother, nieces and nephews, extended family relatives and friends." Meanwhile, over $164,000 has been raised via a Go Fund me page to help support the young family of the deceased. Brady’s KC restaurant, where Shaun was a co owner, said in a recent statement that their “hearts are broken” following his death.
“There are no words to express our sadness, anger and frustration. Our community is with Shaun's family - forever. We cannot express how much we appreciate the outpouring of support, offers to help, and your love. Together we are united. Together we will grieve. Together we will heal. We ask that you show compassion and aid in our healing by respecting the privacy of Shaun's family.”
Shaun was well known and respected in Kansas City both for his culinary skills and his generosity of spirit. He frequently appeared on local television doing cookery demonstrations and played a huge part in the Kansas City Irish Fest.
