In Memory of Phil Brady 1956 - 2026
Board member, dear friend and supporter of the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum, Phil Brady will be deeply missed by all in our Museum family. Phil brought his caring and thoughtful perspective to each Board meeting. He encouraged us to be our best and to stay focused on fulfilling our mission to inspire stewardship of the Gorge’s cultural and natural history. At CGDCM, Phil shared his passion and wonder for the stars above and for our earthly Gorge ecosystem. We will strive to honor his memory by keeping that passion alive.
