I was honored to have known Brenin and his darling wife Polly. I will remember Brenin’s kindness, his determination, his steadfast faith, and the enduring love he had for his bride, Polly. I know he is with Jesus! My prayers are with the many he has left behind and who must go on without him, especially for Polly. May God give you peace and comfort as you grieve. 
We are so sorry for your loss, we hope you find comfort in your family in friends in this difficult time.
Love,
The Eliason Family

Dear Polly, Adrienne and family, 

Mom, Dick and I want to send you all our heart-felt love and condolences. Praying the strength of your family and your faith give you peace. 

Love and affection from your Florida Cousins and Auntie

Barry and I are both saddened to learn of Brenin's death. We will miss his wonderful smile, his kind ways, and his remarkable example of how to stand up strong for the long fight against PD.

Thank you so much for posting the beautiful photos. It was wonderful to see Brenin as a child, a young man, a husband, a friend, a father, a fisherman, and an old man - with so many adventures along the way. A life well-lived.

We send our heartfelt condolences to Polly and the rest of the family.

Barry and Mary Neal Jones

I will never forget all the times Brenin helped me and Fifth Avenue prepare for any event. He was often quiet and observed everything around him. He was always aware of needs. He would see the need, go home and either come up with a remedy or repair. One time I was talking about the challenge of needing the floor monitors (speakers) further out from where they were.

Brenin heard my need, went home, purchased the wood, glue, nails & screws… and made these amazing monitor stands that fit perfectly on the stage steps. Painted them a shiny black to match the grand piano. They were perfect! I wouldn’t be surprised if they are still being used today. They were solid and worked better than hoped for.

This was only one of many examples of Brenin’s love to help others. Despite his physical challenges, he never let it stop him from trying. He was a sweet soul in whom I will never forget and it saddens my heart he has left this world. But I am confident he is in the presence of his Savior Jesus Christ! He no longer deals with physical issues! He no longer has to deal with the burdens this life brings us all. He is celebrating his Lord! I can’t wait to see him once again! I will miss him for only a short time as this time capsule we all live in… is only a passing moment in comparison to eternity! I’ll see you soon Brenin!

My prayers go out to Polly and the rest of the Hill family. May the God of Peace be your peace in the midst of your painful loss. May the Lord’s face shine down on you as you grieve. May you turn to Him each night when it’s the most quiet as your thoughts penetrate the rest you need.

Hi Polly, I’m so sorry to hear about Brenin. He was obviously a good man to all and a fighter to the end. It’s even more difficult to miss a loved one when so many people will realize his loss in their own lives. I pray this finds you with conviction to carry on and spread the joy and light of Jesus that you and Brenin did together. Till we meet again, God bless you and your family. Janet Shoaf, Neil and family.
