Beyond his professional achievements, Brendon was known for his compassionate nature, intense curiosity, and unwavering loyalty to his family & friends. He was a source of strength and inspiration, always willing to lend a helping hand or offer words of encouragement, even in the face of adversity.
Brendon never met a stranger and had a magnetic personality. He was witty and sharp tongued, but also had the biggest and most giving heart of anyone around. The loss of Brendon leaves a void in our family that can never be filled. We mourn his passing while celebrating a life lived with honor, courage, commitment, love, and laughter.
Brendon loved martial arts, shooting at the range, making salads and salsas, and entertaining friends. He was a natural comic and a loyal friend with a large circle of both civilian, active duty and retired military buddies. Along with his friends, he leaves behind his saddened mom Deborah, his partner Debbie, aunts, an uncle, and several cousins to cherish his memory and remarkable talents.
We love you, Brendon.
