Washington, DC October 9, 2007)--It is with deep regret that we mourn the loss of Georgia State University College of Law (GSU COL) student, Paul Brady, who died Monday evening after a very strong willed and heroic fight for his life. Paul Brady suffered serious injuries last Tuesday morning when he was hit by a truck at the intersection of Piedmont Rd. and Decatur St. in Atlanta. He was taken to Grady Hospital where he was initially listed in critical condition and underwent abdominal surgery. Paul’s initial improvement was stalled by a lung infection and fever that he developed over the past weekend.
Paul, 26 years old, was beginning his first year of law school as a full time student at GSU COL. He is remembered as a God -fearing man, a friendly face, and a person who never met a stranger. Paul left a positive impression with everyone whom he came in contact with.
On, Tuesday, October 09, 2007, the Black Law Students Association at GSU COL distributed memorial ribbons to students and provided greeting cards to present to the family. Additionally, with support from the law school, BLSA at GSU COL has planned a candlelight vigil to take place on Wednesday, October 10, 2007 at 7:15 p.m. in the second floor courtyard of the school. Many of Paul’s family members plan to be in attendance. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made, but will be posted by the family at http://www.getwellpaul.blogspot.com/ when they are available. For more information, please contact Tiffany Williams at tiffanydwilliams@gmail.com.
On behalf of the National Black Law Student Association, we extend our condolences and prayers to Paul’s family, friends, and colleagues. Although we mourn the manner in which he left us, we must celebrate and remember his life, never forgetting the impact he had on ours. We ask that our membership join the GSU COL community on the evening of October 10, 2007, in thought or prayer for Paul and his family.
