Brendan Dean Kelly (24 Apr 1961 - 26 Jan 2018)

Five years have passed and we still all think of you and we cherish your memory. You have no idea how much you are missed. God bless you, Uncle Brendan.

My Uncle Brendan💙
You were the kindest and most supportive Uncle that a young girl could ever wish for. You were a very real presence and part of the architecture of my childhood. I have countless (too many to mention) warm and funny memories with you right at the centre. I count myself so lucky to have had you in my life.

You touched the lives of so many people with your thoughtfulness and generosity. You will never be forgotten.
Remembering you is easy. I do it every day. It's the heartache of losing you that will never go away.
Goodnight, sleep tight my beautiful Uncle Bren💙

Remembering a kind, funny and truly one-of-a-kind person. You’ll be missed, Brendan. Thinking of Claire, Cheryl and the rest of the Kelly family. With love, Emma, Karen, Adrian & Steven.

Bren was my Brother in Law, but more than that.. a friend.
Will always miss your humour and general craziness, the afterlife is a funnier place now that's for sure.
Shine on you crazy diamond.....

Uncle Brendan,
You have always been such an amazing, kind and beautiful person. Throughout my childhood you were always so supportive and caring! You went above and beyond and always had such a beautiful heart. Thank you. You always gave me so much encourragement and support to do well. Always reminding me I was a star. Always reminding me that we are Kelly's! You were always that breath of fresh air. I can't thank you enough for always being there for me throughout my life. I will never understand why you had to be taken so soon, but I just know you will always feel close, in all of our hearts. I love you very much and I hope you have spread your wings and fly high uncle brendan. You will always be the star! Xxxx

Oh the hearts you broke when you passed Brendan...you were such a lovely, lovely man and I cherish my childhood memories of having such a kind uncle. You gifted the world with your kindness and will be so very missed. Peace be with you Brendan, may the road rise up to meet you, Becky & Tom

Missing you best dad in the world. Thank you for every wonderful moment and for looking after Mum and I so well. It’s not the same without you. Sleep tight. Claire xxx

To my best man, in more ways than one. My brother Bren.

You came into my life when I was 6 years old.
You made us wait until you were ready to come into the world, and then made an appearance as soon as friends and neighbours who had come to help, had left.

On many occasions as a baby, you held your breath until you turned blue and we had to get a neighbour to calm you down!
Such was the determination of Brendan.

You made an impression on all who met you. No one who met you would ever forget Brendan, a force to be reconed with. You always tried to make people comfortable in all situations even though you found it difficult yourself.
You encouraged and supported many.
You never had a bad word to say about anybody.

You were funny, serious, thoughtful, caring, supportive to our children.

I felt your pain and am sorry i couldnt convince you to change your mind or to help you more but didnt know how to.
You left as you arrived, in your own time.

You will always be remembered and be in my heart and the hearts of many others.

Until our spirits meet again my sweet lovely caring brother, I will miss YOU.
I loved you. Kevin.

I dont know if the pain i feel will fade, but you will always be in my heart.
I'm priviliged to have had you as my brother.
I am glad i got to kiss you goodbye.
Goodnight sweet brother. My best man.

I loved you and you loved me.
Thank you for being such a lovely caring encouraging funny Uncle to Lyndsay and Liam, and a great Uncle too.
I wish with all my heart that you were still with us.
Why oh why wouldn't you stay?
I will miss you every day.
I will look after your girls and your forthcoming grandson. You'd have been a fantastic Grandad.
I was so lucky to have you in my life.
I am heart broken. Peace be with you now xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

To hear of the loss of a man who meant so much to me not only in childhood but even when I grew up, my uncle Bren I love you so much, I will never understand why you have been taken away. Life will never be the same, but thank you for sharing all your fun, and spending so much time with me, I will miss you, and I will never ever forget you, love Liam & Kelly x
