Grady was born on April 27, 1942, in Ballinger, Texas to Mallie and Lyda Campbell. He enlisted in the US Army in 1959, serving 6 years. Upon returning home from the Army, he began his civilian careers, first as a carpenter, then moving on to become a fireman, then joining in the law enforcement field in many capacities in different places, and finishing out his career at TDCJ when he retired from the workforce in 2010.
He loved to fish, handle his roosters, and just being outdoors.
