While he was not with us for nearly long enough, Brendan lived life to the fullest. He loved life and collecting friends-he truly touched everyone he met with his outgoing personality and totally infectious laughter. He treasured all of his friendships, especially his friends from Bergen Catholic, Richmond and his fraternity, Sigma Chi. Full of life, laughter, happiness and adventure, Brendan will be deeply missed-for who he was and who he could have been. He will live on in our hearts forever.
