Brendan M. Cullen

BMC... it's been 22 years since I heard your voice, your laugh, or saw that cheeky smile when you were cooking something up in your brain.... But I didn't forget you my friend, I keep in touch with your sister, I'm sure you're looking down on and keeping an eye on your beautiful nieces, and now... Nephew! Life is weird, I've lost touch with so many friends over the years, but every year, I get that pit in my stomach the first week of January, remembering getting the news, and I come here,...

Vinnie and Justin, Thank you for posting on this website. It is so comforting to know that you still think of Brendan. His friends meant everything to him.

Brendan, Yesterday Tony and I visited your grave site. I read the Robert Frost poem "The Road Not Taken" and placed one red rose on your gravestone. Why that poem you ask and why just one rose? This is a ritual for me, for every event, your birthday or your anniversary, for twenty-one years. The poem opens my heart to the pain of losing you because you chose the road less traveled. The one red rose makes me laugh because that was your signature move with a female you were starting to like....

21 years old friend. Time sure does move quickly these days. Thinking about you, and who you'd be today. Miss you man, as many do.

21 Years you've been gone my friend, I always remember you without even it being intentional. October 28th will come and I'll suddenly think, its someone's birthday today... You would've just turned 40 this last October... And I would have been teasing you that I was still 39 til this upcoming July and calling you OLD MAN! My only comfort is knowing our souls don't die, and maybe I'll see you again someday. I hope you're happy wherever you are, and know we think of you often and fondly my...

I´ve been dreading this day for years: you´ve been gone from this world longer than you were in it. I ask myself all the time what you would say, what advice you would give, but it´s been so long I don´t know who you´d be or what you´d say. Would you be married? Would my girls have cousins? Would you remember all those shared childhood things like watching Silence of the Lambs or threatening to throw my Backstreet Boys CDs in the toilet? Could we laugh at mom when she denies our tales and...

20 years bud...I don't write here as much as I used to. Life has gotten so busy. I do still think of you often. Our 20 year high school reunion is in a couple months, delayed a year due to covid. I still remember your graduation party. Crazy to think that 20 years has passed. I was reminiscing over the holidays and told some of our more exciting (perhaps more questionable) stories. Remember the after the battle of the bands at the middle school?!?! You're loved and missed by all those...

Been almost 20 years, how crazy. Miss you bud!

20 years ago you left the earthly realm for new adventures, And 20 years later your friends and family still miss you and think of you fondly. Rest in Peace my friend.
