I spent several family celebrations with Brendan and Meagan (she's my cousin's daughter). He was alway witty and kind. We've all lost a wonderful man. I'm just so glad I got the chance to know him.

Your gentle heart, sweet smile and never-ending kindness will be greatly missed by all that knew you. Emilie will cherish her memory of playing dress-up with you. Your love for Star Wars will always keep you and Nathan bonded. I'll never forget our time spent in San Diego and your generosity. Whenever I see anything Hello Kitty, I'll think fondly of you.
Our heart goes out to your family and Sweet Megan. We offer our deepest condolences. We all miss you so very much.

Brendan was such a rare, wonderful person that could bring a smile to anyone's face, and made anyone in his presence feel special and loved. He will truly be missed.

We are family to the Ryan family of Hillsborough. Megan, the daughter of Peggy Ryan, has been part of our lives since her birth. And when she & Brendan found each other, we all benefited from and enjoyed their love for each other - true soulmates!

One could always count on an interesting conversation, an easy laugh, a fun giggle and a nice person with the first "Hello" at a Ryan party w/ dear Brendan. Megan and Brendan's love was contagious and beautiful. My heart goes out to Megan, his Mom & Grandma, Peg and all.

Brendan, my family remembers you now and will recall you always.

Love,

Anita & Ron Elfving
