My Darling Brother, Eamonn
Tonight I sat and read everyone's thoughts, emotions, memories and prayers and was so touched I actually cried a bucket. Time has passed and yet you are in my inner most thoughts most days. This is the first time I have been able to do this and I am so sorry it has taken me so long to write to you. Our lives are intertwined with love and darling Eamonn, I want you to know it was a true honor to be your sister. Giving was your gift in life and I still miss you most of my days. I am so proud of the man you became and the joy and heartfelt moments you gave to so many. You helped us all to be strong by the gentle caress of your voice and in your intelligent conversations and your valued bearing you brought to this earth. Life has been very difficult but we all can endure and in our own time be so fortunate to finally be at peace with you and your beautiful hands wrapped around us. Darling Eamonn I still miss your voice and your wit and charms but you are well now and at rest. I sang for you today as I had left it aside for a while. When I sing you are so close...I love you and miss you. Until another time "au revoir mon frere" Yvonne Marie

Hi uncle Eamonn. I don't know what to say. Nor do I know how to express how much of an amazing person you are in words. You have always been a light at the end of the tunnel for pretty much every person you have met. I know you have been for me so many times. I wish we had had more time. But I think that even if we had had another fifty year I would still be asking for more time.

I remember how much you used to care about the people around you. I have this memory from when I was about three and me, you, my mum, auntie Cathy, uncle Todd and the boys all went to a water park and I remember how you and uncle Todd insisted that I wore a life jacket in the wave pool. Something I probably wasn't to happy about at the time but I realise now you were just trying to look after me. I truly appreciate it. Because you didn't just say to someone you loved them, no, you showed them you loved them though your constant compassionate and kind actions.

One of my fondness memories of you though was when I was around 2 years old. You tried to teach me how to play hide and seek and I really didn't get it. I was hiding with you and when my mum came looking for us I just screamed we're in here! So I think the game hide and seek will always make me think of you.

I love you so much uncle Eamonn and miss you xxxx

So shocked & saddened to have only just now learned of Eamonn's passing. We worked together for many years in DLB Distributors in Dublin & Eamonn was always both conscientious & great craic at work.
Over the years I visited him a couple of times in Kennesaw but we lost touch.
My wife & I were due to be in Atlanta next week so I thought that I'd look him up this morning only to find out the incredibly sad news.
His name always comes up when a few of us ex DLB employees get together each Christmas & he is remembered with great fondness by all of us.
Belated condolences to his family , of whom I know he was so proud , and may he rest in peace.
He was special.

I am a Delta Air Lines flight attendant colleague of Eamonn's. Though I have only known him since 2011 I always considered him a friend and I knew he was a great person with a beautiful soul. Reading the commentaries here, however, I can see Eamonn meant a lot to his family and others and that my friendship with him was only scratching the surface of an absolutely incredible man.

I had a deeply personal and traumatic experience befall me in MAR 2011 and Eamonn was the very first person who showed his concern: calling me from overseas and emailing me to ensure I was safe. It was an amazingly grand and selfless gesture by someone I'd only met a few months prior. Eamonn and I traveled together to Stockholm (the first time for both of us) in 2011 and we had such fun touring the city and visiting museums. I'll never forget it!

Over the last year we slipped out of regular contact and I hadn't spoken with Eamonn for some time before he passed away. When I learned about it through work I was deeply saddened and completely shocked. For the short time we knew each other Eamonn meant a lot to me and I hope he knows how much I will miss him. Eamonn will always be part of my story, too, and I love him.

Eamonn was a much adored neighbor of my mother's, and helped me improve my writing for a comedy sketch when I needed it to feel authentically Irish. Last saw him in Portland in August of 2014 where he came through town. A nicer guy you couldn't hope to find. He was "grand".

"Shall I wither and fall like an autumn leaf,
From this deep sorrow - from this painful grief?
How can I go on or find a way to be strong?
Will I ever again enjoy life's sweet song?

For all the remaining seasons of my life on earth,
There'll be days I'll miss your merriment and mirth,
And sometimes I'll sadly long for all the yesterdays;
Missing our chats and your gentle understanding ways.

Yet, the lessons of kindness and love you taught me,
And the good things in life you've helped me to see;
Linger as lasting gifts that comfort and will sustain,
Until I journey to that peaceful shore and see you again."

My buddy and pal Eamonn,

Over the last four months, I have tried to get in touch with you; only to find out that which I did not want to hear.

You and I were the best of friends; fierce in our convictions. Yet brought together by our love for life and humanity.

It is so painfully difficult to write this. I ask God, why? And He smiles!

My heart is heavy, but I shall never forget you and your kindness. Our friendship will continue; albeit, we have hit a small bump in the road.

We will meet again! We will argue again! We will laugh again! Until then, my friend....

Mike

Eamonn: "Mike, you will never have ulcers!"

Mike: "Why is that?"

Eamonn: "Because you bloody give them!"

A Tribute To Our Brother Written and Read by Catherine Wrightstone at Eamonn's Funeral

Failte roimh goleir (Welcome), we have all gathered here today to honor my brother, Eamonn, so that together we may acknowledge and share both our joy in the gift that his life was to us, and the pain that his passing brings. In sharing the joy and the pain together today, may we lessen the pain and remember more clearly the joy.

Eamonn was a beautiful, sensitive, compassionate soul. As we say in Ireland, he was the salt of the earth and truly the most selfless man I knew. He was loved by children and I believe that is one of the greatest compliments as children have a 6th sense about who can be trusted. Children feel in their heart who loves them and they always recognize a kindred spirit. You have seen and heard today, how much Eamonn was loved by all his nieces and nephews. To be frank, they adored him and he them.

When I think of Eamonn, many words immediately come to mind weetabix, tea, marmalade, cadbury's chocolate and technophobic. Yes, Eamonn was a wee bit technologically challenged. He never quite mastered how to attach documents or photos to emails. Having to forward emails caused high anxiety and many of us received phone calls requesting help with this daunting task. Not surprisingly, he still carried around the old fashioned flip phone and adamantly refused to join the rest of us in the 21st Century.

Apart from his friends and family, Eamonn loved two things: commercial aviation and music. Eamonn could tell you everything and anything you wanted to know about commercial jets. From a great distance, he could tell you whether it was a Boeing 747 versus a DC-10. Just a few days before he died, Eamonn joined my family and I on a mini holiday to Washington, D.C. We visited the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum and spent hours together in one of their exhibits on commercial aircraft and airlines. He was truly in his element and I garnered great joy from watching his apparent excitement.

So as I've just mentioned, Eamonn had a passion for commercial aviation, but what you may not know is that his love for travel began at the ripe old age of 4. One day, Eamonn set out on his tricycle bound for France, Germany, Spain and Italy. After giving my parents a heart attack, he was found by the Irish police, the Garda Siochana three streets away. He excitedly informed the garda that he was traveling the world and had managed to visit three countries. Throughout his childhood, his love for travel and commercial airplanes intensified. He became an avid reader and studied world travel and culture, he would sit for hours and meticulously build model airplanes. His favorite place to visit was Dublin Airport.

As a child and teenager, I, and many other family members, remember sitting with him on the bonnet of Betsy, his orange colored Ford Fiesta by the viewing fence at Dublin Airport. Eamonn would sit with his binoculars in one hand and a scanner in the other as he watched with wide eyes planes landing, taking off and flying overhead while eagerly listening to air traffic controllers talking with pilots. He imagined that one day he would become a pilot and was devastated when he learned he could not due to his eyesight. However, he became the next best thing, a flight attendant for Delta Airlines and travelled the world.

Regarding his love for music, Eamonn would listen for hours to my sister's recordings, he was and always will be their greatest fan. As many of you already know, he himself had a beautiful tenor voice and often filled the room with
There's a somebody I'm longing to see,
I hope that he turns out to be, someone to watch over me.

Eamonn certainly watched over all of his family. He loved each and everyone one of us unconditionally. One of his greatest accomplishments was the way he cared for our parents when they were dying. He displayed incredible strength and courage in the face of adversity. He filled their final days with joy and unconditional love. He was a stellar son! I have no doubt that, as we speak, our mam and dad are holding him in their warm embrace.

There were many wonderful aspects to Eamonn's life, and many ways that he touched our lives. He will be remembered as a wonderful brother, a great friend, a most generous uncle, cousin, business owner, and friendly, well-loved flight attendant. In all these ways and more, he made our lives richer and fuller. Now that he is gone, of course there is emptiness and pain, confusion and maybe even anger at death coming to a man of only 50 years, but in many ways, the gift of Eamonn's life is still here with us. He lives on in our memories and stories, and in what all of us have become because of him. So I encourage you to share today, tomorrow and in the years to come- your memories and stories, and to share the pain of your loss as well. In this way, we will keep the gift of Eamonn's life alive.

As my husband, Todd, said to me yesterday, Eamonn is now piloting his own commercial jet and one day we'll all fly with him as our pilot.
Slan go foill a dheathair dilis agus dia dhuit I gconai (bye for now beloved brother and God be with you always). On behalf of the rest of the family, I'd like to thank you all for coming here today. Go raibh mile mhaith agaibh (thank you all very much).

Um... I don't really know what to write here. I cant put to words the pain im feeling at the moment. Your passing is the hardest thing i have ever had to go through. Honestly, im still going through it. We all are... I think about you a lot, I just wish i could have talked to you before you died. On August 28th I lost my uncle, my namesake, and one of the closest friends in my life. You had such an amazing impact on my life. You never missed an opportunity to tell me how much you loved me or just wrap me in a huge hug. You were there for everything, every play, every musical, basically everything i ever did. Now my number one fan wont be there. You know, when i was little, how i used to always say "UNCLE EAMONN! YOUR THE BEST!". Well you really are the best. Your are the best person in the whole world. You loved everyone with all your heart. You were so selfless, you never thought once of your self. I have never met a more selfless person in the world. I just wish i could just wake up from this nightmare and call you. I want to just hug you so bad. We all miss you, we are all in so much pain. I don't know when the pain will end, or if it ever will. I will always miss you, but at the same time i know you are still there. You are still with all of us in spirit. I still wish you were physically here, but i know that is not a possibility. Im just happy that you are happy. You are with nana and granda. I love you uncle eamonn to the moon and back, you will forever be in my heart. I can't wait to see you again, whenever that is. Goodbye my friend, for now.

To My Dearest Eamonn, my big brother,

It's difficult to adequately express the immense love I have and will always have for you. You meant the world to me. Now that you're gone, my world will never be the same. You were one of the most generous, loving souls I have ever known. As a brother and confidant, you were the BEST!!! It's hard to fathom my new reality. I'm attempting to live a new normal but it's proving to be a difficult task. My heart aches! Please know that you will NEVER be forgotten and that your legacy continues to live on in all of us. Please visit me in my dreams and look after mum and dad in heaven. When my time comes, I have no doubt I will see you again. Until then, continue to watch over us and love us. Until we meet again, may God hold you in his warm embrace.

Your loving sister, Catherine

Uncle Eamonn,
I don't really know what to put here. There's so much I need to say, so much left unsaid, so many things I could talk about. I love you and miss you so much. Sometimes I find old cards or letters you sent me and I spend a few minutes reflecting. You still are an incredibly strong, compassionate, and kind man. You were one of the best people I know. I'm glad I got to spend a few days in D.C. with you before you passed. I'm sorry that I didn't get to give you one last hug and one last goodbye before you took off for the airport. I know it's a silly thing to feel guilty about but I do. If I would have known, I would have run out that front door and hugged you tight. But I guess that's life. It's unexpected. And I thought that I would just be able to see you in a few weeks or hear your voice on the phone. But I know you knew how much I loved you and cared about you. You were a quiet soul, one who always put the needs of others before his own. I admired that. The loyalty and compassion you always carried with you for the ones you cared about in your life. I really miss you and I wish I could just talk to you one last time. But this is how it goes. I remember getting the phone call that you died and just being in absolute shock. There's always going to be a part of me that hurts when I hear your name but I am so grateful for all the amazing memories you left me, all you did for me, and for being the greatest uncle I could have ever asked for. I hope to see you again in the next world or in another life. And i'll have that bear hug ready for you. I love you so much.

Dear Yvonne,Bernard and Brennan family. I just heard about Eamonn's passing (Nov 7 th) and I'm feeling so sad. I remember a very slim young boy who was my friend and a friend to my six (Taaffe ) siblings. I remember his huge and very beautiful eyes and his beautiful voice that he used so expressively. He was a lovely, sincere person and I have never forgotten him. May he rest in peace.
Thinking of you all. Much love.

Eamonn, There are no words to describe the deep void I now feel since you died. You were a truly wonderful, caring, loving and compassionate man. A most fantastic brother. You spent your entire life caring and thinking of your family. You took such good care of Mam and Dad and for that I am eternally grateful. There will be no more trips to Georgia, to be met at the gate at Atlanta airport, with big open arms and that enormous bear hug. You were the most genuine person anyone could know. No matter what was troubling me you were always there with words of advice, which were always honest. You will always remain in my heart and will never be forgotten. I wish to thank you so much for everything. Thank you for being a truly wonderful Brother. I will miss you so much. Take care of Mam and Dad and I look forward to seeing you in the special place in Heaven some day.
Love always, Paula xx

All I can say is Thank you so much for everything and I mean Thank you for being a truly wonderful, person. You will live forever in my heart and will never be forgotten. Miss you so so much.

Eamonn, I will never forget hearing the words "Eamonn is dead". Like everyone else I am devastated by your passing. My heart is totally broken.
Now there are so many things running through my head about things I should have said and made very clear to you. I can't now say them to you.
You were the kindest most loving person in the world the greatest brother , the funniest of us all and by far the best of us.
I love you so much and always will for as long as I live and then even more. I think of all the great times we had with over the years and it helps bring me some comfort. Thank you so much for everything you ever did for me and for the enormous pride I had because you were my brother.
I am now listening to you singing Danny Boy in my head. No one and I mean no one will ever sing that song as great as you did. What I give to be in a room any where to hear you sing it just one more time. there is so much more I can say about you but just know I miss you so much my wonderful baby brother.

It is with a combination of great shock & sadness that I just learned of your passing. We were in school together many years ago, and I remember your quiet and gentle self, along with your fabulous tenor voice. From reading through the various "Condolences" and noticing how far and wide the addresses span around the globe, it's very evident that you left quite an impact in your short time on this earth. I plan to take a trip back to Ireland in 2017 to attend the school's 50yr anniversary, and would have very much liked to shake you hand and say hello again after so many years. Instead I will speak kindly of you, as I'm sure many there will also. RIP Eamonn........ echoing all the senitments here - you will be missed greatly, but will never be forgotten.

So very sad to hear this news. I remember, very well, how talented Eamonn was with Xavier Goodwin School of Drama, Dublin. When I joined that group and saw Eamonn as Fagan, it sparked my life-long interest in theatre. Eamonn was a kind, gentle person. THough we didn't stay in touch over the years, it was an absolute pleasure meeting and knowing him in my younger years...

He will be missed very much. I'm sad to find out this news, he was such a sweet friend. God put us in his life, one cold snowy night, when we rescued him & his dear mother and returned them home safe that night. They called us their snow Angels from that day on but now we can call them our Angels, watching over us & keeping us safe. We will miss our dinner dates & was an honor to know such a special man. God bless you.

My first message was lost on this site, so I will try and find the difficult words again....... How ironic in a show on Sunday, sitting next to a cast mate from Ireland, I decided to look up Sinead to see if she had heard of her. Then I looked you up since we hadn't seen each other in a few years... there was something I NEVER expected to see...Oh how my heart ached...My sweet Eamonn, how my world was for the better after meeting you. How I hate we lost touch the past few years and I sob now trying to write this, wishing for that one more cup o tea......I first saw you as Fagin and then you and Sinead and I did Once Upon A Mattress! Oh the fun times the three of us had. You took me to NYC for the first time with Sinead. We stayed with your sister and her hubby and son and had a blast. Over the years oh the laughs we had from the: Pavlovas, to the time your parents got all of the used furniture and brought it to your house and you came home and almost walked out because you thought you were in the wrong house(LOL), karaoke nights, dinners, auditions, shows; Golden Corrals - you were the thinnest man I knew, but you could take down a Golden Corral Buffet like nobody's business,sharing our dreams and just laughing till our cheeks hurt. You always did so much for your family and they meant the world to you. Sometimes you would forget you, looking after all of your family and friends, but that was just you and the kind heart that you had. Your sisters were so lucky to have had you as a brother. Looking through all of those pictures of all of your nieces and nephews and your family too, I see you made me feel the same way. You always made me feel special. You also made me feel like I was a part of your family. Dick ribbed me enough for both he and Maire.(LOL) We both had had our share of bad times too and shared those, as well as the good, sometimes talking for hours. I was so proud of you flying and then getting your "gargous" home. Achieving you dreams!!Funny, I can hear you saying gorgeous, brilliant and God Bless oh yeah and Slainte'!You were such a bright light in my life and I am so glad we had that fabulous dinner and that wonderful last cup of tea in your new home. Eamonn, raise that gorgeous voice with the angels. Know that you were loved and you so will be missed. Shine on sweet friend. I know now that heaven has just received it's brightest star. I love you.

I was sad to hear the sad news of Eamonn's death. It brought back fond memories of our 1981 joint school production of HMS Pinafore. He was an accomplished tenor Ralph to my untrained squeaky Josephine. My sincere condolences to all the family.

Uncle Eamonn, you were and always will be the best uncle anyone could ask for. I'm lost for words, heartbroken. I will miss you gravely, getting if a plane to America will never be the same. I love you si much. I know you will keep us sage down here as you really are a true guardian angel. God has got himself a true gift in you. I love you so much eamonn. Xxxxx

September 13, 2015

Tonight I received word...shock sadness grief... Eamonn. Eamonn. I've read all of the messages left here - they all are true - they all say the same thing. Here was a man who touched all who crossed his path with his kindness his compassion his humor. Eamonn was fiercely loyal to his family and to those he called his friends. His heart was forged in the fires of love and he was quick to share that love, deeply and without hesitation. I had the privilege of working with him years ago. We would go to lunch together and laugh and cry and talk of the delights in our lives and our sorrows. He was a co-conspirator of mirth and mayhem. There were many a day at work when he would be doubled over with laughter at the shenanigans that tickled him. Eamonn was in touch with some divine cord too that would shatter you when he sang. I think his heart and his voice were one in the same because everytime I heard him sing it was almost more than I could bear. He was a gift to those who knew and loved him, family and friends alike. What a wonderful testament to a life that touched others so deeply. I will always remember him with fondness and affection. I don't have a Guinness on hand but I will raise a glass to a dear dear heart - Eamonn Brennan.

In the early hours of the morning of August 28th I received the worst phone call of my life. A phone call that changed mine and my family's lives forever. My beautiful brother Eamonn had died suddenly!!!
Shock... Disbelief.. Denial... Devastation and heartbreak set in as my poor sister Paula sobbed down the phone!
Eamonn, beautiful gentle Eamonn was gone... The one solid constant in all our lives... the gentle giant heart, the kind loving embrace, the best friend and protective force that was Eamonn... Gone.
How can I put into words the essence of him? It simply isn't possible to describe his true inner beauty, for Eamonn is the best man I've ever known. The most selfless, loving, funny, kind-hearted, spiritual, warm, intelligent, gifted, caring man I've ever had the pleasure to love and know. To say I feel like I've had my heart ripped out would be an understatement. The very pulse of our family destroyed.
During his wake/viewing many people; friends, family and even strangers shared stories of Eamonn and how much he meant to them. It was an honour to witness the overwhelming love and loss felt by so many.

On Sept 3rd we buried him. It has taken me until now to even speak about it. To watch him lowered and laid to rest next to mammy and daddy was incomprehensible! Ever since I was a little girl I've called Eamonn my guardian angel and now he really is! Slán go foill mo dheartháir álainn

I am so sad today to hear of the news, we have lost a most lovely person. Eamonn and I were school friends in Dublin and we shared so many laughs.
I only met his sister Paula two weeks ago and asked her to pass on my regards and if he is ever home to call me. So upset now as I will never get his call
Regards to Bernard, Richard Yvonne Paula Catherine and Sinead I will keep you in my prayer at this sad time

Dear Eamonn, you always had a ready smile and a welcoming and gentle nature. We will miss you dear neighbor and friend. Thank you for coming over with your special cake and singing w us and sharing your love of all music and literature, and then leaving with a hug and a "God Bless." Your legacy lives on in your wonderful family. Love, Debby and Terry

I have warm memories of Eamonn when we both appeared together in the delightful English musical comedy Salad Days together with his sister Paula back in Dublin, Ireland in 1983. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Cathy, I was so so sad when you told me of Eamonn's passing I know how much he meant to you and all of the family. What a wonderful kind man he was. One early memory I have of him is playing Fagan in Goodwin's production of Oliver, he was so talented. To all the Brennan's I am sorry for your loss. Love Fiona Dublin

I grew up in Ireland and lived across the street from the Brennan family. Throughout my childhood, I got to know Eamonn quite well as he was my dear friend Catherine's older brother. I was always impressed with how positive and upbeat Eamonn was. He was one of the funniest people on the planet and had the best sense of humor. He was smart and kind and I know that he was a fantastic brother because Cathy would often tell me about how wonderful he was. You were a kind and gentle soul and I am so glad I knew you. You made me smile and uplifted me everytime we met. I will always remember your wonderful smile. May you rest in peace.

Nothing could have prepared me for todays visit from your dear sisters with the news.I can't believe for the 3rd summer in a row,a member of the sweet Brennan family has passed. Although I saw you less often since the passing of your beloved mom and dad, it was always a with a smile when you'd stop by. I know you're rejoicing with your parents now as you should be but I will miss my Irish friend.

Words can't really express the heavy heart felt loss of you, but I know God. And I know God has a meaning and a purpose for everything on this side of life. Eamonn Andrew Brennan you'll always be my brother from another mother as we always joke and laughed about it on several days past. I'll go on with the assured feeling of knowing, hoping, and praying that I will see you again. I love you, Rest In Peace.

Eammon my dear sweet friend. It is crazy how life goes. I would have never imagine losing such a wonderful hardworking person that I admired so much. Before our lives became complicated busy, we endured great times talking for hours at times catching up on life. Oh how I wish I could ring you now in heaven to take the pain away. Your positive outlook on life will be forever my mission to leave a great impression on the human mankind souls. May you find your resting place well and rejoice with your mother and father. As you always ended our conversation with GOD BLESS. In passes I will miss those great hugs.... They where the best! I love you Eammon

"I cannot even begin to say everything I would like to say about Eamonn and what he meant to Emory and myself. You will be forever missed my Irish friend and brother. When the most beautiful people in our lives can no longer be seen or touched, they are forever felt within our hearts. All My Love.

With due deference to Edna St. Vincent Millay Where you used to be, there is now a hole ripped open in the world, which we who had the great fortune and immense pleasure of knowing you will find ourselves walking forlornly around in the daytime, and falling into at night. We will miss you terribly.

Eamonn was a really great friend and I am honored that I was able to know him. It was so exciting when he became a US citizen. I will miss having him over to the house and getting instruction on the proper way to make tea. I had no idea it was so complicated. What a huge loss for everyone who knew him. Eamonn was the best. I will pray for the family.
