It is hard to believe you have been gone 5 months already.  It feels like this hole has been in our hearts forever and we wonder if our hearts will ever feel full again.  I heard something on television recently, "no amount of tears will ever fill the hole in my heart.  Oh, how true this is.  I got an email from the ever loved website asking if I wanted to post another memory.  There are a thousand but the first that came to mind is our trip to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Calgary, BC.  Your mom took a nasty fall and had to take a lift to the base on a sled with the ski patrol.  There was an epic amount of snow and our group was chomping to get to the next run.  Your mom in her typically unselfish manner told everyone to get back to skiing and that she would be fine.  The group reluctantly took off, but you refused to leave your mother's side and accompanied her sled ride to the first aid hut keeping up a steady stream of "I am sure you will be okay, mom" conversation.  You were and are a devoted son and a kind sole.  We all miss you so very much but none more than your mom and dad.  There is a hole in their hearts which will never be filled.  We are trying our best to keep them busy and support them through their grief but the only relief they get are signs of your heavenly presence... a cardinal, a feather and unexpected photo on the e-frame.  Thank you for these signs and please keep sending them.  Much love!  Your ski buddies for life, The Huntleys

Lisa and Craig, I just learned of Brendan’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you at such an incredibly sad time. Love and Deepest Condolences, Deidre

Dear Lisa, Craig and Justin,

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Brendan. I am heartbroken for you, your family and all who loved him. Knowing the love and light that comes from you, Lisa, I know with certainty that this boy was loved to all ends of the earth.

My prayer is that you will see and feel Brendan in everything you do and everywhere you go, and the memories you have of him never fade. I pray you feel God’s presence during this heartbreaking time.

With my deepest sympathy, Patti Katz

Brendan - There are no words. I can’t believe it, it seems like I saw you yesterday. I know some years went by but I’ll always remember as another brother and best friend. I’m going to cherish every single memory me you and the boys have together, we’ll always remember you. Your laugh is second to none. I could always hear you a mile away when something hilarious happened. One of the best athletes Ive ever known. Miss you bro.

Lisa, Craig and Justin - Im so sorry. I know there are no words for this loss. My prayers are with you always. 

Lisa, Craig and Justin - I know...It's not supposed to happen this way.  

Jessica, Scott and Helen - This news is tragic and I am so sorry to hear. 

There is no combination of words that can be put together to absorb the pain.  Britt, the Boys and I send our deepest condolences, strength and love to you and the extended family.

Brendan - It has taken me a while to write to you here.  This news got me good, man.  I'm shocked - as is everyone you touched in your well-lived life.  Time and distance got between us over the last few years.  I never imagined our time to reconnect was going to but cut short so soon.  It's very hard to believe.

I am thankful and grateful for the lives we shared together, the joy you brought me and the friendship we forged.  Since I heard about your news, I have been strapped into a time warp remembering the countless memories we made -- the trouble we averted (and sometimes didn't), the laughs we shared, the hours we spent in your parents backyard and all over the North Shore playing lacrosse, the way we constantly pushed each other to be better in every sport we played...

Your impact was massive on everyone who knew you buddy.  I will miss you. We have a big celebration for you coming up.  The boys and I will be there to send you off in style.  Rest in peace brother.

Very saddened by the recent news of Brendan’s passing. He will always be remembered for his genuine character and larger than life abilities. A true Prep legend. My condolences to the family. RIP Brendan. 

Dear Craig and Lisa,  Rick and I are so heartbroken for you and so sorry for your devastating loss.  The obituary was so beautiful and written with so much love. It really gave us the true essence of your son, Brendan and what an incredible son you raised.  We are keeping you and your whole family in our prayers. 

Love Elizabeth and Rick

Lisa and Craig, Just finding out about your beloved Brendan and we are so sad and sorry for your devastating loss. May you be comforted by your faith, family, and friends.   Love, Gayle & Dave

Brendan's joyous laugh and animated expressions won't be forgotten. He was consistently wearing a smile and wanted to share his positive demeanor with everyone around him. His memory lives on. 

Lisa, Craig and Justin,  As you know by now, there’s nothing anyone can do or say to take away the pain. Life is fragile and tenuous and so unfair. Brendan was blessed to have the most  loving, caring and devoted family for his 36 years.  He will live on through his sweet little kids. When I think of Brendan, I can hear his raspy little voice and I remember the twinkle in those beautiful blue eyes.  I am so very sorry. My heart breaks for you.  I’m always just a phone call away.  ❤️

Jay and I are so very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Gone too soon, you will forever remain in our hearts. Wish I could have took pictures of all the fun memories we made. We will miss you Brendan

I just found out. I can't believe this! My brother! This is so devastating for everyone who loved him. I just talked to him last week about a boiler job he was getting ready to do. We had a immediate connection when we met 10 years ago and we watched our kids grow together. I love you BF. My best friend forever! I just can't believe this

Brendan,  you'll be deeply missed,  I'll see you on Heaven to hear your voice and we can maybe play a round of golf there.  Love You Brother.
