He was born on September 21, 1940 in Alamo, Texas to Lawrence and Victoria Brennan, and transitioned out of this life on Sunday morning, May 10, 2026, at his home in Wylie, Texas. Through his 85 years, he touched many lives with wisdom, humor, hugs and smiles and an unwavering spirit of perseverance.

His family and friends will always remember him as a doting husband, proud father/grandfather/great grandfather, giver of hugs and always leaving anyone that crossed his path with his golden smile.
