He began working in law enforcement in 2007 with the Maggie Valley Police Department. In 2018, Brennan began work for the Haywood County Sheriff's Office. There is a comradery among law enforcement officers that is very strong. This was very evident in the relationships Brennan had with his fellow officers. He was well loved and respected by his fellow law enforcement officers, EMS workers, and dispatchers.
Brennan had a servants heart. He was a giving person and never expected anything in return. Brennan loved the Lord and would often share his testimony when the opportunity arose.
Brennan enjoyed the outdoors, his dogs, fishing, hunting, and going to deer camp with his Dad. He was a skilled marksman and would spend many hours target shooting. Most of all Brennan loved his family.
In addition to his parents, Brennan is survived by multiple aunts, uncles and cousins.
