It’s been a year I just found out of his passing Brandan was a big part of my life and my family’s life. He was so funny and brought life to any room he walked into. I miss spending time him and how he always knew how to make me smile. My condolences to his family

He was the first to call me tt. Now having this heartbreaking time is difficult knowing I will never hear him say my name again. God has recalled this angel and we are left with memories.

I met Brendan on an online game long ago and he has been a huge part of my life for over 10 years. I’m forever grateful for the opportunity to have known this wonderful man. His love never wavered, no matter how much time it had been since we called each other to catch up. Those big, warm hugs I got every time we got to see each other, I’ll treasure them all forever. Brendan had the biggest heart and most kind soul I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. He cared so deeply for others, no matter what he was dealing with. If you got to know Brendan, count yourself lucky because he’s the kind of friend you only find once in a lifetime. ❤️

I met Brendan through a friend while gaming online in 2018. He was an incredibly kind, funny, and charismatic person. He was always a joy to play games with and talk to. My condolences, he will be missed greatly.

Brendan is someone I met online in a video game. When I first met him, I was hesitant, unsure about whether or not he'd be another guy on the Internet being rude the every girl they see. Instead, he talked to me. Like a normal person. Asked me about my days and even threw in some funny jokes. At the time, I was going through a messy breakup and Brendan immediately offered to lend an ear. I learned after that interaction that he was a genuine, caring guy. We would often listen to music together, and had a few songs that we both enjoyed. The last song we shared was I'm Just Your Problem from Adventure Time. I still hum along to the song when I think of him.
Ive known him for 2 years and he has been the most caring, genuine, sincere person I've ever met who, of course, had a good sense of humor too. I look back at our dms and we'd have roasting sessions trying to see who would win (it was always him). He moved along many different friend groups but I was always happy to see him stop by. He was always sure to show me his cat Momo.
My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. I can't imagine the pain you all must be going through. Brendan was loved by everyone he ever met, whether he met them briefly, or in my case 2 years.

We express our deepest condolences to the family. We work closely with Anthony Thomas, so we know how much this means to him.

Brendan and I met back in 2011 on an online platformer game called Transformice. Even through all the drama & tears we endured as growing teens, our friendship persevered and I was given 2 life-changing opportunities to close the distance between us. He flew to Florida to see me for the very first time in 2017. We only had 4 days together, but those few days were full of precious memories and fun under the hot summer sun (even though we were melting from the heat!!)
The 2nd time and last time, we met again in 2022. He flew me out to Ohio and I stayed with him for 2 weeks this time, and I am so glad to have had that extra time with him. We went window shopping for a new potential cat, and although we struggled at first, we ended up finding an adoption center in another city with younger cats and kittens. It was there that we came across a black and white cat, and we both fell in love with her. Our little Momo.
Brendan and I teetered into an on-and-off-again relationship throughout the years, and although we did not end our chapter together as partners, he was still my forever friend and had a long-lasting grip on my life until his passing. I will always know this love that I felt for him, and for that I am so grateful. Despite my anxieties, he supported me through my pregnancy and congratulated me on my marriage. Our last words to each other were about him wishing he could have been there when my partner and I exchanged vows. I wish he could have been there too.
To say he was a good friend is an understatement. He was known to be vehemently supportive of his friends and loved ones, and he never hesitated to provide a shoulder to cry on or a listening ear whenever someone was at their absolute lowest. He was no stranger to struggles, and yet despite his hardships, he still gave his all to those who needed it.
I will forever miss him and hold onto the pain our beloved memories cause me. He might no longer be here with us physically, but I refuse to let these memories and feelings die with him.
He was a friend, a brother, a son, and so much more. Brendan was one of a kind, and the world has lost a little of its shine without him.
He deserved far more time on this earth, but I am so honored to have had the last decade with him. And to his family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss and wish you nothing but the best during this time. Thank you for raising a beautiful soul that has touched the lives of many.
We love you, Brendan. And we miss you.
