Brendan G. Trainor

Brendan G. Trainor, age 65, passed away peacefully at his home on January 26, 2026.

He was born in Arlington, Massachusetts, on October 25, 1960, a son of the late Patrick and Tonie Trainor. Raised in Ireland before the family immigrated to Billerica, Massachusetts, Brendan carried the values of hard work and dedication throughout his life.

Brendan was a journeyman electrician with Local Union 103 IBEW and advanced to Master Electrician and Project Manager through his dedication and skill. For over 20 years prior to his retirement, he earned a Master of Science in Engineering and a master's degree focused on commercial construction. Brendan was also an Air Force veteran who took great pride in serving his country, a trait he inherited from his father.

He was preceded in death by his son, Patrick Trainor.

Brendan is survived by his longtime partner, Sharon Milan of Barrington, New Hampshire; his children, Eric Trainor and his wife Kira of Sandown, New Hampshire, Caitlin Torres and her husband Jon of Berlin, New Hampshire,

and Erin Trainor of Berlin, New Hampshire; his sisters, Tara Garmon of Gardner, Massachusetts, and Brea Trainor of Methuen, Massachusetts; his four grandchildren, Johnathan Trainor, Kayla Torres, Anthony Torres, and Giavanna Trainor;

as well as nieces and nephews, Meghan Greigtardiff, Christopher Garmon, and P.J. Garmon. He is also survived by many cousins in New York and Ireland.

Services will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Brendan's name to your local Veterans Association.

I am very sorry of hearing this news. I am a fellow electrician and member of IBEW 103, where I had the pleasure of meeting Brendan and becoming a friend of his through our studies at Wentworth Institute of Technology. We were the first cohort and we all became very close as we supported each other in our studies. I need not tell you how incredibly intelligent Brendan was and how he approached his studies with such vigor. His effort did not go unnoticed. He was the recipient of many awards and scholarships for his studies. He was just a great guy to be around and consider a friend. I just want Brendan“s family to know that I will be thinking of him and he will be in my prayers.
With my deepest condolences
