I worked with Brendan who was looking forward to going full time and obtaining his personal insurance license. We talked at breaks and saw in him a light from God. His good humor, smile and gentle kindness is greatly missed. As I walk the halls at work, he will be remembered.
I am so very sorry for your loss yet know he is praying for you always. I pray for him.
Warm regards,
Diana Garvey

To all of Brendan's family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. Words seems so empty to describe the loss of a very special person that touched so many lives. He had that special gift that is so rare to see today. Hold him close in your hearts.

Brendan, your loss has left me confused, sad and angry. You're such a good person and friend and you will be missed tremendously. I'll always remember first meeting you when you were wearing a Mets hoodie and since I'm a fan of them talking about them and right there I knew I'd get along with you really good. I'll always remember fun times we had, especially during the night Trump got elected and seeing Logan and Alien in the theaters. I enjoyed our equal love of movies, music and tv shows and whenever I watch game of thrones and walking dead I'll be wishing you were watching it with me, cheering on the characters we love. I could write so much more. You always put a smile on my face and whenever I was feeling down or stressed, talking to you would cheer me up and I will always value our friendship. My sincere condolences go out to you're wife and sons and they know you're watching over them. Once again thank you for being my friend and I know you're up there rocking the heavens. It's only goodbye for now bro, until we meet again, I miss you and love you bro. Your friend eric

To Laura, James, and Collin:

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Getting to know Brendan over the past five years was a privilege--he was truly one of a kind and I'm lucky to have considered him a friend. His sense of humor put me at ease on so many occasions and his laughter was contagious. His extensive knowledge of film and television never ceased to amaze me. I'll always reflect fondly on Game of Thrones watch parties with Brendan & our friends that were accompanied by his enthusiastic high-fives when our predictions panned out. I still can't comprehend how he was able to recall every detail from the books. The world feels a little darker without Brendan and it isn't fair, but we are all here to help you and the boys keep Brendan's light shining bright. He was loved, appreciated, and he will surely be remembered for all of the good he brought into our lives.

This is painful to post as Brendan was such a good soul. He was the type of person that always introduced you to everyone in the room that you didn't know...not because of his ego but because he had respect for you and if you were his friend you would get that respect always. He was my friend and I always got treated like that, even if we had not seen each other in some time. Brendan was genuine and showed excitement when discussing his wife, children, and friends...it was obvious who he cared about. I pray for all that knew him, that they will find peace in such a difficult time! I will be working on it myself.
