Passed away suddenly, just twelve days shy of his 34th birthday on Sunday, December 8, 2024.
Brendan was a kind, loving, and caring soul who touched the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to know him. Known for his warmth and humor, he had an extraordinary ability to brighten any room with his presence. Whether sharing a laugh or offering a shoulder to lean on, Brendan’s compassion and light left an indelible mark on those around him.
He will be deeply missed by his devoted parents, his cherished aunt and uncle, his many beloved cousins and relatives, his loving girlfriend, his friends, and his colleagues who became like family. Brendan’s spirit and legacy will live on in the memories and hearts of the countless lives he impacted. A Celebration of Brendan’s Life will take place on Thursday, December 19 from 7:00 – 9:30p.m. at Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main St. Dundas, ON. Memories will be shared at 8:00p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor Brendan’s memory by performing an act of kindness, spreading the same love and joy he so freely gave to the world.
I first met Brendan when he was 2 1/2 years old and last spent time with him less than two months ago. On both occasions and at all the family events in between I was always impressed with his positive energy, warm smile and quick wit. Allan and I are heartbroken that he’s left us all so soon, but we will smile every time we think of him.
We love you Brendan!
Mark, my heart goes out to you and Debbie in this terrible time. May the love of family and friends help you through.

My sincere condolences Debbie and Mark for the loss of your son. I can’t imagine the pain you are going through but know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Dear Debbie and Mark
We are not supposed to say goodbye to our children but sometimes it is out of our control. This truly is devastating news. My fondest memory of Brendan is him running through our house, laughing and carrying his white blanket. He will always be in our hearts and we’re fortunate to have him in our lives and family.
Love Marion Di Sante and Family

Dear Mark and Debbie,

Words cannot express how deeply sorry we are for your loss. Brendan and Peter were great friends whether playing baseball or hockey together, or going to Costco with you on Saturday afternoons.
He was a gentle and kind person.
Thinking of you at this unimaginable time.
Brendan was such a positive light to be around, especially when the world seemed dim. Always kind, caring, helping people feel comfortable and making people laugh. It seems unfair that we have to lose such a beautiful soul especially so young. He will always be remembered and missed.
Mark, I am so sorry for your loss. My heartfelt condolences to you and your wife. Please let me know, if you need any help.
Debbie and Mark
We are all profoundly sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved Brendan. The past few days have been spent recalling two little boys who met at Gymnastics and shared so many fun times together as they grew up in Dundas. May your memories bring you comfort at this difficult time and in years to come.
Debbie and Mark
I’m not sure quite what to say without sounding incredibly trite. I just wanted you to know that I have often thought of you as I drive by Castlewood and that I am most certainly thinking of you now.
I saw that it was Brendan’s birthday, so I went to his Facebook profile to wish him happy birthday. I of course found the incredibly sad news of his passing. My heart goes out to you Mark and Debbie, and the whole family. My deepest condolences.
Debbie and Mark, I am deeply saddened to hear of Brendan’s passing. I have so many joyful memories of our young sons playing hockey and going to school together, and celebrating birthdays at sleepovers. Brendan was always happy, smiling and kind. My sincerest condolences.
