Mark Daniel Brennan, 77, of Scituate Massachusetts passed away on November 16, 2025, at Pat Roche Hospice Home after a life beautifully led.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts on May 28, 1948, to James and Virgina (Murphy) Brennan, Mark spent a mischief-filled childhood in Quincy Massachusetts. In adulthood, Mark lived for many years in Hingham and Cohasset Massachusetts, with relocations to Bangor, Maine, and his favorite spot, London, England, with many family and friend-filled trips to Brewster Cape Cod, in between. Much to his delight, he settled after retirement in Scituate nearby his daughters and grandchildren.

Mark graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in mechanical engineering and went on to earn a Master of Business Administration. A long and successful career followed.

Mark's greatest talent and success, however, was his connection to the people and the world around him. A devoted and loving husband, father, brother, uncle, and a friend to all he met, Mark was a joyful light in any room he entered. His long illness with dementia took much from him in his final years, but never his light and ability to love.

His wife Pam, two daughters, Jennifer Brennan Oram and Melissa Pope Brennan, his sons-in-law and his five beloved grandchildren will honor his legacy of kindness and warmth with a celebration of life in the new year.

Memorial Donations may be made to the Pat Roche Hospice Home, in Higham Massachusetts.
