It’s with very heavy hearts that we announce on Monday, April 6th, our beloved Brendan Michael Dolan passed away at just 40 years old.

He leaves behind his ex-wife, Julia, parents, Matt and Jean, and siblings, Jennifer and Brian, brother-in-law Kyle, and niece, River. He also leaves behind grandparents, Cathy and Jerry, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Brendan Dolan had a very generous spirit. He was kind and loving to all his family and friends, always showing up whenever someone needed help and never asking for anything in return. Brendan was a deeply spiritual person who believed in loving all people, and he was an avid musician and drummer. He also had an enormous love for nature and took care of the world around him. His presence brought warmth and comfort to everyone he met.

Brendan's sudden passing has left his family grieving an unimaginable loss while also facing immediate financial burdens. Since he passed away in another state, his loved ones are now confronted with unexpected funeral, travel, and memorial expenses. This fundraiser was created to help ease that burden during this heartbreaking time, allowing Brendan's family to focus on healing and honoring his memory.

We are not accustomed to asking for help, but in this moment, we need the support of our community. If you’re able to give, any amount will make a meaningful difference. Sharing this page and keeping the Dolan family in your thoughts and prayers is deeply appreciated. Thank you for helping us surround Brendan's family with love and support as they navigate this difficult journey.
