Brendan passed away Friday May 8, 2020, with his sister Marilyn by his side. May 12, 2020 would have been his 77th birthday.
We will miss him and his infectious smile dearly.

He is survived by his sisters, Marilyn Duncan, Eileen Murphy (Patrick), and his brothers Kevin (Kelly), Terry (Peggy) and David (Vivien) Donnelly.
He is predeceased by his parents Kenneth and Margaret Donnelly and his brothers Quentin, Michael and Kenneth Junior.
Our gratitude goes to all the staff at VGH Willow Pavilion Older Adult Unit for their care over the last 3 years.
