I met Brennen when he came to work at Olive Garden. Brennen is the definition of a true friend. He is always there for me, even when I would go back to school. Every time I came back I would be so excited to see him. I love you Brennen, see you later

I thankfully met Brennen a little over a year and a half ago when he started working at Olive Garden. Getting to know him was an absolute pleasure and will always remember the times we got to hang out.

I met Brennen when he was entering college through a mutual friend- and I feel so lucky our paths have crossed. Over the years, I watched him grow into someone even more thoughtful, gentle, and full of life. He has always been so kind, loving, and silly. It always made me smile to see him. I´ll forever miss his sweetness and he will forever be remembered with love.

Brennen was one of my best friends in middle school. I grew up with him and he made a big, lasting impact on my life and me as a person. He was the very first person I ever came out to. He kept my secret for years. and always supported me. We may have not been close anymore, but I will always hold a space for him in my heart. It was a pleasure to have known Brennen.

You made a big impact on us in the little time that we knew you. All of us were so impressed by you and thankful that you were in Eli´s life. Thank you for being a wonderful friend to him. You will be dearly missed.

Forever grateful for the memories we made Bren-car rides where I always made you drive and pick me up, swim meets/practices, late night FaceTime calls talking for hours or just sitting in silence. You always had the biggest, brightest smile, especially when I said something ridiculous. I´ll miss your silly self more than words can say. Rest easy, my sweet friend
