Tom has finally won his long battle against cancer, and is now resting under the shadow of the wings of Almighty God. Tom's greatest joy in life was serving The Lord, and his desire was that all would see the Glory of God through the way he lived his life. Tom is survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Fonda Denise Grady of their family home in Los Lunas NM; his three children, Jared Mykhael Drosche of California, John Travis Grady and wife, Kate Marie Grady of Tucson, AZ, and Rachel Cirina Grady of Los Lunas; his parents, Sherman and Cirina Grady of Albuquerque; his sister, Germaine McKercher and husband, Lee of Albuquerque; his many sisters-in-law in California, nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family and friends. The family would like to thank the amazing staff at the New Mexico Cancer Center, especially Dr. Clark Haskins and Dr. Amin Shaw for their care and all the wonderful ladies at Ambercare Hospice, especially Brianna and Erica. A special thank you to the many family, friends, and strangers who have walked this journey with us and have supported us through words of comfort, financial need, and most of all, through prayers. A Memorial Service for Tom will be held on Saturday, August 23, 2014 at 11:00 AM at Calvary Chapel Rio Grande Valley, 19381 N Hwy 314, Belen, NM.
