Gary Joe Brennan was born September 19, 1985 in San Angelo, Texas to Renee and Michael Brennan. That same day, there was a huge earthquake in Mexico and Gary liked to joke that his entrance shook the world. January 29th, 2023 the world shook again with a large earthquake in Iran and Gary left the world.

 Gary and his family spent their childhood in Texas . At the age of 2, he was in a horrible accident that nearly amputated his leg. Because of this he would suffer with chronic medical issues, one being sclerosis. This slowed him down but didn’t stop him. 

His family moved to Idaho in 1984. To the small town of Middleton. This is where his alter ego personality began. 

TK crazy began writing lyrics and his friend Kyle and him would have after school rap concerts . 

After high school, Gary went on the road to be a long haul driver. He had so much fun doing this but missed his family dearly. Gary returned home and then was blessed with a son Karson in 2011 . Karson was diagnosed with autism and Gary embraced his new role. He was so patient and loved him fiercely. He had his second son Rhett 2018 and was given a run for him money. Rhett was here to shake things up. His love for them was not just seen but felt when seeing them together. 

Garys personality is bigger than life and he was always up for an adventure or a good roasting of a sister, or a nephew or niece. Gary adored these nieces and nephews and did everything he could to make memories with them. Gary’s biggest passions in life were family and music. He began preforming Garth brooks at nursing homes as a young child and became a successful song writer and made beats for himself and other artist.  When on stage he preformed his rap music as TK Crazy and he began to he live out his dream. He said “My dream stage is the one I’m on with my family in the crowd.” He was a natural performer and the best story teller, he always knew exactly how to have the whole room laughing with his quick come backs. He would send random text just to raz his family. This could be a random diss or a “why are you so dumb” text. He loved nothing more than to roast them. The family get together always included stories of physical altercations with his sisters, and his version of who won, previous pranks that he was proud of, and stories of sisters being over the top in dramatics. It wouldn’t be a family function without someone being roasted by Gary, if not everyone.

Gary loved to shoot his to guns, while excitedly planning an zombie apocalypse with the nephews and brothers.  Gary loved history and conspiracies ,ninja turtle ,insane clown posed, Dr Pepper, and chick fillet and his food burning hot. He always matched his shoe laces with the fit. Gary loved having all the new electronics, and loved to make beats. Gary worked in HR until quitting to pursue his dream of being on stage and he was making moves preforming with his childhood idols. He loved his fans and this became mostly all the family would hear about. 

Gary lost his battle with depression and despite all the love and efforts of his friends and family, we couldn’t change the outcome. Our family will forever be impacted by his life and death and are struggling to accept this is Gary’s story to write and not ours. He was an inspiration to others and would encourage anyone he could.

Gary is survived by his son Karson with mother Laura, Rhett with mother Michalis, his first love, his mother, Renee Brennan ,his first hero, his father, Michael Brennan with stepmom, Paula Brennan, and sisters and brothers Mikka and James Casady, and Kristi and Mike McFetridge, Stevie and Cheyenne Petty, Sheyna and Darren Gibson, his nephews and nieces, Jazlynn, Bailey, Marco, Jaycie, Madelyn, Rizek, James Jr, Aspen , Jolie, Austin and Kaylee, Ethan and Mariah, Tyler and Carli, his great nephew Liam and great niece Evelyn. Gary was lucky to have close relationships with his aunts, uncles and cousins. 

He is proceeded by his nephew. Braedyn and his Aunt Brenda,   maternal and paternal grandparents, and his childhood friend Kyle. 

We encourage anyone struggling to hang in another day and seek help!
