My deepest condolences go out to Brennan's family. Brennan was my next door neighbor in the Air Force. He is and will always be one-of-a-kind. He had a way of cheering me up and making me smile, even when I didn't feel like it. I thank him for that and believe I'm a better person for having know him. I believe we will all see each other again. If I know him, he is smiling down on all of us. I know that doesn't help much because, "We all miss him".

To everyone who knew Brennan. I have to say I was absolutely shocked to read this in the paper today. While I had not seen him in alot of years I will always remember the person I met and everything about him. The football games when he was dating my best friend Aimee. The parties at Bessel's after we all graduated. He was a great person to be around. Always having a good time with a smile that shone forever. He will be missed by everyone who ever crossed his path. And while his parents do not know me all I can say to them is until you meet again. Nothing is forever.

Brennan,
Words can't express the sorrow in my heart. You were a terrific guy inside and out. You were a great friend and role model to Brandon. He really looked up to you. He couldn't have picked a better person to look up to than you. You were more like a big brother to Brandon. You will be missed greatly by everyone. You were and always will be loved. It was a great pleasure to have known you. My thoughts and prayers go out to Sandy, Jerry, and Patrick. May god give them the strength to hold each other together in their time of sorrow. You will always be in my heart and never forgotten! God Bless You All..

Brennan,
As I sit here with sadness in my heart and tears in my eyes, I think of what a pleasure it was to have known you. You were a 9 yr old little boy when I first met you and you grew up to be such a fine young man. You were everybody's friend and so much fun to be around. I have a lot of memories of you over the years, and every one of them a good one. You will be greatly missed by everyone. Your life was cut way too short, but I guess there was a bigger and better plan for you. As we all bid you farewell today, please know that you'll never be forgotten.

I ran into Brennan a few months ago in a bar in Denver. I’m glad I got to see him that day as I have a memory ingrained in my head of the face everyone remembers on Brennan…a smile not only from the mouth, but from the eyes as well. I can remember discussing with him that day how random it was to see each other thousands of miles away from Medina. And today we know just how random life can be. He left an impression on all that knew him. It is with that impression that we can take what Brennan taught us and live our own life as he did is. My heart goes out to his family and all those close to him. May you find solace in knowing Brennan has changed us, and this world, for the better.

When I found out moments ago that Brennan had passed my heart sunk. My thoughts and prayers are with the Kwiatkowski family and I pray that the Lord would comfort you in a very real way in this time.

I grew up with Brennan and played baseball and football with him. He was an incredible friend and always was so fun and warm with everyone. Everyone loved Brennan. The only place that I saw him not like this was on the football field...and it was there where he was one of the most vicious linebackers that I ever saw play football. Brennan will be deeply missed.

Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Everyone at Parker Hospital that knew Brennan, knew what a kind and friendly person he was. He had a heart as big as Texas and things around the hospital on night shift won't be the same without him. We are so saddened by his loss. Life can seem so unkind to lose someone at such a young age. God must have a bigger plan for Brennan to need him back so soon. I am truly sorry to the family, I can't imagine your heartbreak.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family at this time. Even though it has been a long time seen we saw Brennan, he was someone you don't forget.
It seems like yesterday when the kids played together in the neighbor
hood park and we were all kool-aid moms. I remember him being so polite ,and that smile, he could just light up the room. You raised a son any parent could be proud of. We will never forget him ,and so glad we had the pleasure of knowing him.
