Adored grandson of Marie Brennan and the late Henry Brennan, and the late Walter and Bernadean Shea.
He attended Souhegan High School in Amherst, NH and American University in Washington, DC. He was a factory representative in the golf industry. Among his passions were golf, cycling, and music. As a two-time cancer survivor, he dedicated himself to helping others, including riding for many years in the Pan Mass Challenge. Throughout his many adventures, he made countless dear friends.

Dan & Kate sending a little “hug” to say how sorry I am to hear of your loss. May time ease the pain that no words can. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Dan & Kate- May the strength and love of your family bring you closer and allow you to share the wonderful memories of Brendan with his son. Heartfelt sympathy and prayers to you and your family.
Kimberly, Dan & Kate,
We didn’t know Brendan, but Jackie Coffey has told us what a wonderful husband, father, son, brother and friend that he was. Such a tragic loss. We will pray that God gives you strength and consolation in your time of sorrow.
To the Shea family, Brendan was a part of my family for a few years, and we all truly loved him dearly. May God help you through the hard times and help you remember ALL of the good. He was a kind human, earlier this year with the passing of our father, and I’ll never forget his kindness and generosity. May God grant you the strength and endurance in the difficult days ahead. Rest in eternal peace, Brendan.
With our deepest sympathy and prayers, we ask to God keep your family in his perfect peace at this time in your life..

Our hearts go out to each of you. We pray God gives you the strength and love you all so greatly need at this time.
