JOSHUA’S STORY

Joshua James Brennan was born on January 2,1981 to his loving parents, Jeff and Sue. He was the middle child and brother to his two sisters Kelly and Katie. From an early age, he aspired to make the world a better place for others, being kind and compassionate to anyone he met. In June 2012, Josh married the love of his life, Sarah, and together they created a beautiful family. Josh always ensured Sarah and their "Irish Triplets" Evelyn, Nora, and Sawyer, were loved and cared for in every way. He cherished time with family and always ensured those around him knew just how loved they were.

Josh's caring nature was felt deeply by his community. He was committed to social justice and serving marginalized populations and dedicated himself to serving individuals with disabilities. Prior to his death, he supported high school students with individualized education plans as they transitioned to work and life after graduation. Josh continued his legacy of charitable giving and radical caring by being an organ donor. Though his life ended too soon, his life goes on as the nourishment and life force for others. In March 2022, Josh provided many generous donations, including vital organs, changing the lives of the recipients and their loved ones. Josh's love continues to live on through those he impacted during his life and also through his gift of donation.
