Passed away on February 28th, 2019 at the age of 24.
Brenden was born in Fairbanks, Alaska where he spent his first two years of life. Although he couldn't remember it, we spent a lot of our time outside in the summer and Brenden grew up with a love of for nature, hiking, and being in the outdoors. From Alaska he moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1996. He got to see Plateau's, the beautiful red mountains in Sedona, the original old west, Tombstone, and he also became a very proud big brother! In 1998 he moved to Rochester, New York where he gained an enormous family, and an even more enormous love for Abbot's Ice cream and Country Sweet (but not together.)
Brenden loved Hockey and played from the age of five until he was 17, most of those years were spent playing for MCYH. He loved going camping and discovered a talent for landscaping in the summer of 2017. He was insightful, loving, and incredibly articulate. He touched the lives of many people.
