JOSEPH TERENCE BRENNAN

August 19, 1948 – November 3, 2024

Joseph Terence Brennan, 76, joined our Lord in His heavenly kingdom on Sunday, November 3, 2024. 

Joe, a self-made man whose prowess as a Manufacturing Engineer was matched only by his insatiable curiosity and clever understanding of the world around him. His innate intelligence and dedication to his craft shone brightly through his career as a tool & diemaker.

A man of unwavering principles, Joe was known for his belief in the democratic process, often reminding those around him that "his vote counts." His love for his country ran deep, and he served as a proud patriot, a sentiment that resonated throughout his every action.

Joe relished the company of his grandchildren, and thrilled in creating mischief with them. Joe loved the simple pleasures in life - riding his bike and savoring the beauty of the world around him. His strong spirit, coupled with his sharp intellect and unmeasured generosity, endeared him to all who had the privilege of knowing him. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, Barry Kinsley Brennan and Joan D. Brennan; siblings, Kinsley Barry Brennan, James Nicolas Brennan M.D., and Kevin Douglas Brennan. 

Left to cherish his memory his loving wife of 46 years Teresa M. Brennan; children, Patrick Brennan, Brigette (Antonio) Gonzalez, Helena Brennan, and Joseph (Amanda) Brennan; grandchildren, Azael Gonzalez and Marianna Gonzalez; sister, Katie Brennan, brother, Mark (Myna) Brennan, and as well as other family and friends.
