Brennan Voboril Obituary

Voboril, Brennan Stephen Age 32. Of Monona, formerly of Milwaukee, New Berlin, Tucson, AZ and Los Angeles, CA, went home to be with his Lord and Savior. Brennan passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, June 27, 2009. Brennan was born on May 21, 1977, in Milwaukee, WI. He was the son of Stephen Voboril and Bonnie Hall-Klicinski. He went to grade school in Milwaukee and Brookfield, middle school in New Berlin and Brown Deer, and high school in Brown Deer. Brennan graduated from ITT Technical Institute on September 7, 2000, in the Electronics Engineering Technology program, and was awarded an Associates Degree in Applied Science. He was working with Apex Systems at TDS MetroCom in Madison. Brennan was a total "free spirit" and lived and breathed each moment as it came. His entire life involved music, from playing guitar and open mic nights to just mellowing out with the tunes. He was an avid Packers, Dodgers, Brewers and Lakers fan. Brennan was passionate about healthy eating and loved working out whenever possible. If there was a cause, Brennan was there with his surreal compassion and love for humanity and animals. He had a strong belief system that could not be rocked by the average person. Brennan was known for his many writings, and filled his Facebook pages and blogs with random thoughts of life. His happiest times were when he lived in Tucson, AZ. Brennan is preceded in death by his grandfathers, Roger Voboril and Jack Hall; his uncle, James Hall; and his cat, Gummo. He is survived by his parents, Stephen and Ricca Voboril of New Berlin and Bonnie and Gary Klicinski of Monona; his siblings, Holly (Russell) Roering of New Berlin, Lindsay Voboril (fiance Brandon Pasch) of Sun Prairie, Alyssa Voboril, Alexandra Voboril and Samuel Voboril, all of New Berlin; step-siblings, Matthew Klicinski of Arizona and Michelle Seay of Racine. Also survived by his grandmothers, Nancy Voboril of Milwaukee and Blanche Hall of Florida; step - grandparents, Nick and Joan Demos of Cudahy, Rita Klicinski of Marshfield and Robert Klicinski of Arizona; many aunts, uncles, cousins and a lot of wonderful friends. Visitation Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 1-3PM at Holy Apostles Catholic Church, 16000 W. National Ave., New Berlin, followed by a Funeral Mass at 3PM. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Timberwolf Preservation Society, 6669 S. 76th St., Greendale WI 53129, or the charity of your choice would be appreciated.

B-
I know they are closing this today. I just wanted to say how much I miss you. I think about you everyday. I thought things would get better, but I feel worse. Facebook is so boring without you, texting is so boring without you, Friday nights are so boring without you. I miss you so much! I hope you know how much I still love you and have always loved you. I'm so glad we reconnected again.
Love always,
Laura

Dear Brennan,

You were my first nephew and first godson. Remember how I saved money for you to use for a down payment on your first car? You were so excited!! I still can't believe any of this. The Voboril family will never be the same without you. We all loved you and will continue you love you dearly. I bet Grandpa was surprised to see you but happy to hug you. I will think of you every day until I too can hug you. Be happy always until we meet again....

Hey Bro, I don't even know what to say or how to feel about you being gone. I feel you're still just out and about traveling somewhere experiencing life. I miss you everyday and keep precious moments we shared close to my heart always and forever! I love you and can't wait to see you again so we can finish unfinished business. Hope the hummus is good up there:) Love you big bro!!!!

Dear Brennan,

While I never knew you personally, I have known your mom for many years. It amazes me how one person can have such an impact on so many others. I read the entries of your Guest Book and can see how much you were loved and cherished. I wish I could have met you. I know you will feel peace and find happiness among the angels.

Dear Brennan, I will never forget how you made Monica and I feel so special that night, and how proud you spoke of us to your friends as your family. Or how you always kept me involved with your text mails when expressing your joys and sorrows. There is a calming in my heart to know you are now singing for the angels in Heaven. I miss you Brennan.

I remember when Brennan was young (around 16) and I gave him my 12 string guitar with electric pickup. I know he loved to play guitar and sing. I am planning on getting a guitar once again and playing it for the first time in years. I just feel the urge. I wish we had more time together Brennan, but I know you'll be making beautiful music in heaven. I wish things could be different and I had told you one more time that we all love you. Keep strumming and God Bless you.

Brennan,
It took me long enough to write in here. They are going to "close" the guest book in 2 days. Everything is so surreal. It's been one month now and I still think you're going to call, email or text me. I miss you so much and can't imagine my life now without you. You were my first friend, my better-half, and I am looking forward to us meeting again in Heaven. Please know how much you are loved and how much you meant to our family. What else can I say to a brother who left me too soon? I love you. I always have. I always will. Sent with hugs, kisses, and more love than you'll ever know. Your sister...

Brennan, where do I start. I fell in love with you fast. We had some awesome times, times I still thought about once in awhile. Then we went our seperate ways. Years later Facebook brought us back together. You were a great guy and you will be missed dearly. I wish I had more time with you! Love always!

July 2, 2009

Dear Steve and all the Voboril family, Our hearts go out to you on the loss of your son. We pray that you find comfort in your memories and in the love and support of your family and friends.

In Our Heats
We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.

May he rest in peace with the lord. He was called way to early from this earth but if god didn't think we were ready to have another angel he wouldn't of taken Brennan from the ones that loved him. In this difficult time just remember all the good times and all the smiles he shared with you all.. My prayers are with you. Even though i didn't know him personally he was an inspiration to alot of Brown Deer kids!

My sympathy,
Jessica

To Brennan’s Family and loved ones,

Please accept my deepest sympathies. Brennan will truly be missed.

He was a friend of mine many, many years ago. We had some really good times in New Berlin and he always made it interesting when my friends and I would visit him in Brown Deer after he moved. Of course we lost touch over time, but I was fortunate to have caught up with him on Facebook several months ago. Brennan holds a place in my heart and I will never forget him.

Rest in Peace Brennan.

No one knows the horrible grief of loosing a child unless you've had one that died. From a mom that has had a child die... I send to you the arms of God to comfort and hold you until you see Brennan again.
God Bless your family in comfort.

To The Voboril Family:
Nothing cuts as deep as the loss of a child or a brother. The pain is almost unbearable, BUT keep in mind that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ sent his angles for Brennan so he could now watch over all of you.
May God ease your pain and guide you toward peace once again~

My memory of Brennan was this cute little boy; who at our cousin Randy's wedding; wanted to dance with me constantly! He was so funny and I had such fun that night with him. We were both very young, but I still remember that night.
I cannot imagine your pain; only that I am terribly sorry and hope that somehow you find peace.
God bless you and Brennan.

I knew Brennan a long time ago, but sometimes thought of him over the years. I think it was because he was my first middle school crush and those first crushes always have a special place in a person's heart. It's funny how you loose touch with people over the years and then reconnect because of something like Facebook. I am so greatful that I was able to talk to him again even if it was for a short while. Of course he made me laugh right away, which is what I remember about him most when we were younger. That he made me laugh often. He was a good person. I am sorry that I did not have longer to catch up with him.

My prayers go out to all of Brennan's family. May God comfort you and give you strength during this difficult time. May your memories of him bring a smile to your face. The little time that he was a part of my life brings a smile to mine.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Watching Brennan grow up was a very big part of our lives. He was just fun to be with.

We haven't seen him lately, but he did stop by to tell us about his degree and his new career, and we were proud to see him doing so well.

May your faith and all of your wonderful memories get you through this sad time. Ecclesiastes 12:7 says, "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." Brennan's spirit was certainly a blessing to us.

Brennan was weary, tired and beaten from a hard, painful life and the Lord whispered in his ear so lovingly, "Son, throw down your troubles and come to me, I will give you eternal rest in Heaven." And so he did! June 27, 2007

Rest in peace my beloved baby boy, I will miss you more than you would ever know. Every breath I take will refresh my thoughts of you. I'll see you soon in our Father's house!
