Brady Jon Soule, age 37, of Lakeville, Minnesota, passed away on January 14, 2026. Though his time with us was far too short, he filled every one of his years with laughter, contagious energy, and an extraordinary ability to make others feel seen, valued, and loved.

Born on March 16, 1988, in Edina, Minnesota, Brady grew up with a deep love for sports, competition, and camaraderie. A 2007 graduate of Lakeville South High School, he was a standout two-sport athlete, excelling in both football and basketball. Brady earned All-State honors in both sports, leading his teams through multiple championship runs and leaving an enduring mark on Lakeville athletics. Brady continued his athletic journey at Augustana College and Augsburg University, where he competed in both Division II basketball and football. His dedication, leadership, and sportsmanship made him not only a respected teammate but also a true friend to all who knew him.

After earning his degree in business management from Augsburg, Brady channeled his drive and charisma into a successful career as a sales consultant with the National Business Institute, where he worked for more than a decade. Known for his integrity, enthusiasm, and ability to connect with people, Brady served as a trusted advisor to clients across the country.

Outside of work, Brady found joy in life's simple and meaningful moments.  Most days you could find him in the fairway or simulator, playing with his niece and nephews, or spending time with his close circle of friends, former teammates, and family. Brady was a loyal and devoted son, grandson, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend whose laughter, generosity, and spirit touched countless lives.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, James and Arletta Soule of Cannon Falls, Minnesota, and his grandfather, Ferdinand Volkert of Randolph, Minnesota.

Brady is survived by his loving parents, Bruce and Jean Soule of Lakeville; his sisters and brothers-in-law, Jackie (Soule) and Damian Arradondo of Lakeville, and Shelly (Soule) and Tony Clemons of Lakeville; and his beloved maternal grandmother, Grandma June Volkert of Randolph, Minnesota, who he referred to as the "best old gal on the block." Brady is also survived by the true centerpieces of his world — his nephews, Teddy James, Tucker Ferdinand, George Soule Clemons, and his niece Jaya Jean Arradondo. He adored them endlessly and took great pride in watching them grow.  Also, his many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who were family. And, of course, all of his buddies who were like brothers, "the guys."

Brady's spirit, integrity, and kindness will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know him. His childlike charm will remind us to laugh more, love deeply, and not sweat the small stuff. His laughter will echo in our hearts, and his legacy will live on in every life he touched.

A service of love and remembrance will be held on Wednesday, January, 28, 2026, at 11:00am  at Hosanna Lutheran Church, 9600 163rd Street West, Lakeville, Minnesota. Visitation will begin at 10:00am. Instead of flowers, any monetary gifts will be used for a donation cause in Brady's
