Brody loved to watch WWE professional wrestling with his dad and especially gaming with his friends and family. He loved everything about pro wrestling and always said that he wanted to grow up and be one himself. Brody was lucky enough to go on an amazing vacation to Florida with his family and got to meet some of his heroes including Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart. Always being close with family, Brody loved to spend time out on the water kayaking with his mom and four wheeling at his aunt’s in Goodland.
