Brendan was always funny and in good spirits for as long as I've known him. Any converaation with him was a humorous heartfelt & uplifting one. He will always be a special and dear person to me. He was definitely taken away before his time. I feel so deeply for his family because I am no stranger to losing a very close loved one. May u rest on in peace B. I pray that they find the foul & cold blooded excuses for human beings who have done this! We love & miss you Brendan. Always in my heart. <3. - Love always, Jahneasha

I just tell myself he's workin a late shift at UPS when I begin 2 feel sad....and because of him...I will always keep a supply of ketchup in my kitchen, He had to have his ketchup at all times on all foods, even pasta, lol.

Brendan, it is almost a year and I have come to realize that TIME SURELY DOES NOT HEAL ALL WOUNDS. The heartbreak is just as raw today as it was almost 11 months ago shy of a few days when I got that call. I woke up today feeling very overwhelmed emotionally...all I want to do is cry, for my heart aches from missing you. I have been keeping my mind and body busy to not dwell on this fast approaching anniversary of your death with not one word of hope as to who would take your life in such a brutal way. Although, you are contantly on my mind and in my heart I try not to dwell on how much I miss you but today, I feel very very exhausted from trying to control my emotions, because I may have lots to do and it is not the right time or place or I don't want to alarm my family or I don't want to bring anyone else in the state of mind that I may be in at the moment...whatever excuse that I have been using I believe that today is the end....from now on I will cry, laugh, openly talk about you to who ever wants to listen. I will respectively put my feelings first and foremost. I miss you so so very much. You are never a moment out of my mind. I love you so very much. Your mom always

I have known Brendan since he moved down the street in the 4th grade. I grew to love him and his family. Three weeks prior to his death I encouraged Brendan to be all he could be...Brenny I miss you so much and as I write this I am tearing at the mere thought of you not being in my life anymore. Rest in peace I love you Brenny..Keep shining down on us babes..

Brendan and I have grown up with each other ever since he moved down the block in fourth grade. I said to myself "he is cute" lol...Of course Brendan like he did to many people made fun of me but of course out of love. This lead me to meet his very warm and loving family which took me no time to love...I felt that we were family and blood could make us no thicker... I remember three weeks prior to his death I was talking to him and encouraging him to be all that he can be..I love you Brenny and I wish you were here..and as I write this tears come to my eyes as the mere thought comes to me that I will never see you again..May your precious soul rest in peace and can't wait to see you babes! Keep shining down from heaven on me and your family...love you always and forever

Brenny, it's been four months now and no one has come forward to claim responsibility for your death...but we continue to pray and pray fervently for we know that soon that someone is going to feel the need to spew his guts. I am willing to go on waiting as long as the Lord sees fit because when he is ready for the reveal no one will be able to stop him. Not a moment goes by without you being on my mind. I am constantly praying for the guidance and courage to carry on with some form of normalcy. I remember you and I laugh, cry or whatever the feeling is at the moment but I mostly laugh. I need to keep your name and spirit alive and so I talk with whoever is available to listen and am also thinking of different ways to publicly keep your name on everyone's mind. Family and friends are still grieving but they can laugh a little longer and harder now..lol Some are able to talk about you even if it makes them cry only to end with laughter. some are still grieving silently and alone..and that's ok too. I was just tellin your dad that I realize that I talk alot but I cannot stop myself because it helps me so much and although, I would like everyone to be the same, I understand that that is not in everyones nature to be so open and talkative like me. I sometimes feel very sad when I realize that I will not be one of the moms who get to see her young adult son grow up to be a family man with totally different ideals than when he was just a young adult. I would have loved to get to that point in time for me to say "well well..guess you were listening to us all along because look at how disciplined you are in your life." But I will not get that chance and that sometimes sadden me. Sabs sometimes remind me of you...I have noticed that he is like you when it comes to arguing his point..he doesn't know when to shut up..lol and I say to myself..OMG..he said that your spirit went into him and I do see some of that spirit from time to time. He is a wonderful wonderful kid and with a mommy like Kahlynn, he will continue to be an excellent kid. He asked me whether I loved you more than him. Your dad misses you like crazy and is so sad especially when we are with young people. Your sis is hurting and will deal with it in her own way..God willing she will get through fine. She knows that she has our support no matter what. Brenny, I miss you so much and is continuing to pray for you and Chris and hopefully, sooner rather than later..we will have the big reveal to close that chapter-which I so passionately would love to be closed- of our life and start grieving normally for you. Remember that I always said to you that I wouldn't lie or steal for you but I would die or go hungry for you just so you would be spared any heartache. Love you always my son Your mom Still and always will love you dearly

My son, what a joy it was to have him around. he would always check my outfits. He would laugh at times when i did not match my clothes. But no matter what he thought of my clothes , he always wore what I bought. Whenever he would get me a gift, he made sure it was his size so he could make use of it. He wantd to be buff like me. Always posing infront of me to let me know he's getting there. The last time he shaved , he came to me and have me check the line he got with the side burns. He loved top look good. I am always waiting to hear him say DAD, can I drive the X5 tonight. I would look at him and tell him he must be crazy. He would just laugh. I loved this kid with all my heart, and I don't know if I can or will love anybody the way i love my son. I pray to god that who ever shortened his life should also pay dearly. My wife, my daughter and my grandson are missing him. We all hope to meet some day in that place that he now looks down on us. I will always love him for as long as i live.My only son.

My memories of Brendan is not only of him but his family and their bond. I was a friend of the family and would come over to visit his father. Immediately I took a liken to the kid. I remember my 1st meeting Brendan on a visit. He was laying on the couch eating some sort of finger food and watching television. My thought was, this kid has the life! He is enjoying the fruits of his parents labor without a care in the world. After that I use to refer to him as Young Master Brendan. In my memories he will always be the that young teenage boy that would challenge this old man in basketball. I wouldn't admit to him but he had game, we had plenty of close ones as the young gazelle would run around the court using his speed and I would have to use my body to slow him down. No matter who won or lost, he always had a big smile at the end as we knew there was next time. Although I wasn't in his life everyday, it seriously ripped my heart to hear the news. I can honestly say not a day goes by, I don't think of him. I have understood now that when I think of him, I must think of the positive. I must think of the smiling 15 yr old with the afro wanting to braid his hair. I must think of the block shots and stolen passes. I must think of the big smile. I must think of the teenager that really thought for a minute I would let him drive my car if I lost a game. I must think of the good times and cherish them.

I always believed that Brendan was born for a purpose, a reason. He was my baby. He shared my heart with his sister, father and nephew and the part that belonged to him is in real pain. Brendan was so much like me in so many ways..some I knew and always said to him and some I had no idea of until his death. I loved him so much and wish that he was here right now aggravating the hell out of me. He would get me mad and the next minute would make me laugh at something stupid funny that he would do or say. I constantly worried about him and he would say to me "mom, you worry too much."..I wish that I could see him and apologize for worrying too much and tell him how very much I loved him. I know that he is with the Almighty Lord and that he is in a much better place. I wish that I would have known what his last thoughts were and that he had no time to feel pain. I just wish that he were still here with us because I do miss him. I don't think that he realized how much he was loved and would like some day to convey that message to him. I love you Brendan and will always do..until we meet again. Mom
