Paso Robles

A celebration of Bryan Brady’s life is set for Robert Hall Winery in Paso Robles from 4 to 7 p.m. Aug. 17.

The 21-year-old Paso Robles resident was struck and killed by a train early Saturday in Paso Robles. His family said he was celebrating his 21st birthday Friday night.

Investigators are still trying to determine why Brady was lying on the tracks about 150 feet north of 13th Street when a northbound freight train hit him about 6:30 a.m., Union Pacific spokesman Aaron Hunt said Monday.

Sheriff’s Department spokesman Rob Bryn said an autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday. He said results of a toxicology test wouldn’t be available for about three weeks.

Paso Robles police said Saturday the engineer saw Brady but was unable to stop the 78-car train in time. There were no other witnesses to the crash.

Brady worked for the Robert Hall Winery production team for 5 years. His father, Don Brady, has been a winemaker there for 10 years.

His family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations in Brady’s name be made to the Boys & Girls Club of North San Luis Obispo County.

Donations may be made at www.bgc.paso.org or mailed to the Boys & Girls Club, P.O. Box 3037, Paso Robles, CA 93447.

Those interested in assisting with the memorial service can e-mail events@roberthallwinery.com.

SanLuisObispo.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. See our full terms of service here.

Here are some rules of the road:

  • Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
  • Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
  • Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
  • Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and leave him a public message.
  • Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
  • Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
  • Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
  • Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Tribune does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review.

Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to webmaster@thetribunenews.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
