He was a very active member of the Grapevine Elks Lodge where he has been a member for over six years and was currently serving his second term as the Exalted Ruler. He loved all types of music and was an avid reader. Steve loved all types of movies, but, most of all, he loved taking Sam to see a super hero movie. He was a great cook and smoking meat in his smoker was his specialty. He loved bacon! Steve loved watching football and OU was his team. He was so proud of Sam starting his first year of football at Grapevine Middle School this year. He loved t-shirts with funny sayings on them and was always buying them for him and Sam. He had a wonderful sense of humor and knew just when to use it. On a beautiful day he enjoyed riding motorcycles with Donna. He was preceded in death by his father, Frayne Brennan, and a brother, Allan Brennan.
