Brennan Alexander Vandenbeurgeury

Brennan Alexander VanDenBeurgeury, age 26, passed away on January 19, 2026, at his home in Plymouth, Michigan. He was born on December 30, 1999, in Southfield, Michigan, and was a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend.

Brennan is survived by his loving parents, John and Michelle VanDenBeurgeury; his brothers, John VanDenBeurgeury and Jack VanDenBeurgeury; his grandparents, Thomas and Janice Germann; his uncle, Thomas (Jodi) Germann; and his aunt, Heather Germann. He also leaves behind his cherished companions, his two Golden Retrievers, Ember and River, and his two cats, Hank and Roxy, who brought him comfort and joy.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Jack and Patricia VanDenBeurgeury; his uncle, Jay VanDenBeurgeury; his great-grandmother, Jean VanDenBeurgeury; and his great-grandparents, Mae and George Wilbert.

Brennan graduated from Plymouth Canton High School in 2018 and went on to study digital media at Washtenaw Community College. He had a deep love for movies and often used them as a way to escape and explore new worlds. A devoted fan of Clint Eastwood, he especially loved spaghetti westerns, as well as Star Wars, Marvel and DC Comics, and Transformers.

Creative and curious by nature, Brennan loved building with Legos, dabbled in photography, and even tried his hand at stop-motion animation at the young age of thirteen. He also enjoyed being outdoors, spending time in nature, going for runs on the treadmill, and, most of all, being with his family.

Brennan held many fond memories close to his heart, including trips to Ottawa for his brother Jack’s hockey tournament, a Senior Skip Day trip to Universal Studios with his mom, and time spent up north with his family—whether at their property or exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Brennan will be remembered for his gentle spirit, creative mind, and the quiet joy he found in the things he loved. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

In accordance with Brennan’s wishes, cremation will take place. No public memorial services have been scheduled at this time.
