Brendan was an awesome man and is an inspiration to the rest of us.  I'll miss him, never forget him, and try to live my life as he lived his - kind, loving, considerate, sincere, humble, and responsible.

I remember our new boy years at SJMA.  You were in Bravo and I was in Alpha.  That was the good old days at SJMA in 1997.  RIP bro and my condolences to your family and friends.

Emily,
I am truly sorry for your loss!! I felt a great connection with Brendan and loved him like a brother!! He had the most sincere and kindest hearts. I know it isn't easy to lose someone, because I think we forget that we are loan to this world. Take grace in knowing that he will always be watching over you and that he will be waiting for you!! Love you!!!

Emily I'm so sorry for your loss. I heard the news and was so saddened.   Brendan is no longer suffering and in pain.  He will always be looking down on you and his family watching over everyone.   Big hug to you!

I would like to send my heartfelt sympathy to the entire Danaher family.  I only know Marie, Brendan's sister, but I know the loss will be so incredibly painful.  Brendan is now with God and out of pain.   From Marie, I know he was loved so dearly.  The Hopekeepers Group prayed for Brendan and will continue to pray for your family.

Emily, Terese and Bob and all my cousins, my thoughts and my heart are with you all. Brendan is whole and happy in the arms of the Lord. Even though I had not seen him for years, I know by all the memories and comments from his friends, that he was loved by so many here on earth. Now, he is in heaven with many of our loved ones and sharing the best love there is in the peace of the Lord.
Love,  Aunt Barbara

Emily, my deepest condolences.  Brendan, aka Yogurt, and I were in Afghanistan together. He was one of the most resolute soldiers I have served with.  No task too hard, no bridge too far.   I'm glad his last full measure of devotion was with family and that his pain is gone.  I wish you the best in your darkest hour and if ever need a friend or want to talk I'm here.  Marc Aka Mad Dog.

Brendan will be remembered by many and it was an honor to know him. My son and I love Brendan and Emily. Our prayers are with you at this time. We will always remember our trip to Sea World and how much fun we had with your family! We love you!

It was a privilege knowing you and working with you, even for a short while.  You stood up for me with our boss and it meant the world to me. Go with the Lord Brendan. Your friend,     Edie Danley

Condolences to the entire Danaher family! You are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time!

Rest well,young brother...you've earned it...till Valhalla!

Emily, I was so shocked and sad to read of Brendan's passing. May you be filled with comfort and peace from the Savior and know that you are both loved and remembered.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I know how much he was loved by all.

Brendan, I am still at a loss for words, sitting here I think back to all the crazy times we had in the barracks and on rotation in the box. We were only 1 state away from each other but we never had a chance to linkup. Life happens sometimes. I know you are In a better place out of pain and looking down at all of us keeping watch, Emily, I've never met you but when I talked to Brendan he always spoke so high of you and the love he had for you. I hope you know he will always be looking down on you, keeping you safe. Brendan you were one of the most thoughtful people I have ever known, you would give the shirt off your back in a snow storm for someone. You will forever be missed but never forgotten. Until we meet again keep watch and keep us all safe. We love and miss you. GERONIMO!! AIRBORNE!! ALL THE WAY!! 
Until Valhalla!! Save me a seat at the table and we will catch up sometime. Take care.

Please accept our most sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers for you Emily and your family. Brendan is truly a warrior.
We wish all the best.

Thank you to your beautiful wife and family's selfless sacrifice.  thank you to your beautiful wife and family for sharing you .  Emily I am so truly sorry for your loss .  May he rest in peace and pain-free with the Angels .  My sincerest condolences .  Praying for your family's comfort in your time of need .

Doug and I are both so sorry for your loss.  Emily, our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of Brendan's family. I am sure he is watching over you.

It was an honor to serve with Brendan.  He taught those around him discipline, kindness, humility, sacrifice, courage, and friendship.  Brendan was always an honorable man who stood up for those around him and was always a reliable battle buddy and friend.  He held a smile when many wouldn't have.  He was upbeat and persistent when many wouldn't have been.  Cancer may have won the battle, but it did not win the war.   

You are missed by many Brendan, but that which you have taught us and the memories you have left us with are with us always.  Thank you, farewell, and see you again.

We are heartbroken for you. May the thoughts and prayers of those who love you comfort you during this time of incredible sorrow. You are in our prayers.

Deepest sympathy and condolences to Emily and all of the family. God Bless and may you find peace knowing Brendan will always be in your hearts.

B ~ We are sad that you have gone to be an angel, but we are joyed that you are no longer in pain.  It's been a long haul and you gave it your all along with the help of your friends and family, especially Em.  We are here for her always. Please meet up with my mom and baby girl Codi Laree'. Until we meet again. All our love, Aunt She'll and Uncle Craig  ❤

Deepest condolences from the Naso family. So sorry for your loss, Danaher family is in our prayers.

Rest Easy now Brother. You are Greatly Missed and Loved by All who know you. I am Very Grateful to have Served with you. Stand Fast At The Gates Of Heaven Until We Regroup.

Brendan, You were always a stand up young man in our book. You always had amazingly  great manners, and always were looking out for others. We enjoyed every single minute that we spent with you, and only wished now that we could have spent more time together. Both of my boys always share great memories of you, and you always asked about them when we saw you.  You had a sense of humor beyond words and I may have even missed understanding some of it. Huge hugs! God sure did select a great soldier to join his army! Love you! The Druvengas-Bry,Blake,Stevo and Lana

summer of 94 we met and who would think id find a best friend..Remember nights of football, baseball with the block kids, to the nights of just goofing around the block,. we grew older and wrecked more havoc and even made some money together...the story continues...we become age of recklessness and do our share of teenage pranks,..I remember sitting in the backyard with mom, Terese danaher, talking for hours and laughing. get togethers  we had a blast..I remember tucking you in after nights out lol..we owned parties, laughed hard and we always loved each other like brothers..you saves me from me a few tines cause like you said, ive always bewn my worst enemy..emily entered your life and I saw a truely happy man, a man who felt whole and in love. you blessed me as a brother, as a friend, and as a good kick in the seat when I needed it. love you, miss you and I know when I see you again itll be smiles and laughs

Heartfelt condolences to Emily and the entire Danaher family on the immeasurable loss of your husband, son & brother Brendan.  May God bless all of you and keep your family in the palm of His hand.

My fondest memory is when,I was at your wedding and I was dancing with Brendan,and he said to me,that I was now part of the Danaher family.I will cherish those words,he said to me.

Brendan, thank you for everything you have done for us and our country. I've been so lucky to have known you. Sending sunshine always.

For my big brother from another mother. Always will be loving and missing you.

I am so saddened, however I believe Brendan will watch over us til we meet again. He truly was an amazing person, friend, family member, etc.   Prayers and love to the rest of the family and all those who had the pleasure of knowing Brendan.  God Bless.

Praying for peace and comfort Brendan was an amazing person and always knew how to make you smile.
