I knew Brendan and Kyle from Garden City Park, I used to be with them all day every day for years and years. Kyle and I were very very close and he was one of my earliest best friends in life. I remember when this tragedy happened and I think about both of them all the time even all these years later. I miss you both so much! Rest in Paradise for Eternity brothers!

May 23, 2018

It gets more and more difficult to bring myself to this page, year after year, special occasions, holidays, just to pull up all the emotion and emptiness again and again.

But, I still feel I need to acknowledge the day, May 23rd, which is Brendan's 35th birthday. What a beautiful boy, and beautiful soul he was to everyone who was lucky enough to know him. He was an amazing brother to Kyle and Adam and "Mr. Personality" to all.

I love you, Brendan, and miss you every moment. But, I'm sure you have made heaven a brighter place for all.

I knew the Hurd brothers when we were teenagers from the Herrill Lanes years. Brendan's personality was amazing. My first son was born in 2005 and I named him Brendan.
It's nice to read these messages and see their memory lives on. Be well JoAnne and family. Xo

Iam very sorry for your loss,all three of you kids had a very special place in my heart.Brendan I will miss that smile witch always got you out of trouble, and kyle your laugh was the best laugh I can ever remember. I will miss both of you alot god is with you now and you both are looking after mom and adam. Take care until we meet again.

Joanne Leskody-Hurd

March 21, 2009

It is hard to believe that 5 years have past since I lost my two sons, Brendan & Kyle.
I deal with the loss day to day, moment to moment, but I get through it somehow.

I will spend this day reflecting on their lives, not my loss.
I will spend my time remembering the joy they brought, not the pain I feel.

It is a celebration of the amazing young men that they were and
the happiness they created in the short time they had here with us.

As I do every year, on this day, I ask every one of you
to stop for just a moment and look around you.

Appreciate everything you have and everyone you know.
Tell your Mom & Dad, your kids, your brothers & sisters and your friends
that you love them. Tell them that you are glad they are part of your life.

Take just one moment from your day to embrace life – rather than mourn death.

Thank you for being in my life – I love you and appreciate you!

In memory of
Brendan & Kyle Hurd
3 – 21 – 04

I miss you both so much.
Love, Mom

Brendan & Kyle:



It has been 6 months since you were suddenly taken from us. Your smiles, laughter and just being the terrific guys you were no longer bring joy to all you came in contact with.



For those that were closest to you there is an emptiness that can never be filled. However, there are so many memories of two wonderful guys full of life and joy.



I miss both of you so much.

Joan: Thank you for your entry on Brendan Kyle Graves Guest Book.



I did not know that you had been in contact with my Ex Curtis regarding the similarities in our son's. I am truly sorry for your loss of both your boys as I can understand the pain you are going through. I miss my Brendan daily as I know you do, but, we now know that they have each other to keep them company.



If I can be of any help or if there is any time you need to email me or write please feel free to do so. My email is attached to this message.



As you read the entries is the Guest Book of your son's Brendan and Kyle and then read the ones entered into my Brendan's book the boys had very similiar personalities.



Again, my condolences and please feel free to contact me.

March 25, 2004

One of my earliest memories of the Tom Hurd family is standing in front of the 34th St. Perfumania with Tom on St. Patrick's Day 1997 (?) and here comes Adam walking down the sidewalk (on a school day!). Tom was cool at the moment but I'm sure things got dicey later. From that day on I have nothing but the fondest memories of Tom as a loving and devoted father. I've often thought of his relationship with his boys as I've been raising my kids these past three years. Tom, Chris, Adam, and Joanne, you are in our thoughts as you endure a loss that none should have to.

Matt Yacobellis

B.P.C. That was the crew from Garden City Park that Brendan and Kyle hung out with, among many other people. For everyone who considers themslves B.P.C I would like to say that both of you will be forever remembered and missed. There is a permanent place in our hearts for you. My condolances to the Hurd, Ceperano and Lane families. May they all Rest In Peace.

Donna R

March 25, 2004

I can't even imagine what I could say to make the pain you all must be feeling alittle less painful. I am just a stranger who read about this horrible accident and wanted to send my prayers your way. I can't imagine losing one child and here you have to indure the pain of losing two. It doesn't seem comprehendable. I pray for your family that you get through this horrible ordeal with nothing but wonderful memories of your sons and brothers. My heart aches for you and I wish you all peace. I know nothing can be said to ease your pain however if you know others are thinking of you maybe that can block the pain even if only for a second.... Comfort may be felt just knowing your boys are together, but how does that stop the hurt??? My thoughts and prayers to your entire family.

I was so stunned to hear about your son's accident! I can only imagine how hard this must be for you and your family. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family.
