Lawrence Harry Brenner

Larry was a lover of life, and an enthusiastic eater of pie! He loved music of all kinds, particularly rock and roll “oldies”.

He is much beloved by his surviving family, sisters Chary Sundstrom, of North Carolina, and family; and Jari Andrea Brenner, of Saint Paul, Minnesota; cousins; and many dear friends who were his caretakers and life-long friends, particularly Darlene Adams and Tiffany Pearl. He also had many dear friends who shared his group homes and workshop through the years. In particular, David, David, and Stephen.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Julie Antoinette Brenner and Harry H. Brenner of Birmingham, Michigan; and many aunts and uncles, particularly Mary King (aunt) of Madison Heights, Michigan.

Larry brought a smile to everyone he met. He was famous for his “crinkly” smile that lit up the lives of so many.

He will be deeply missed.
