Obituary

William Thomas "Bill" Brennan, 55, of Pemberton, New Jersey, passed into the arms of his Savior, Jesus, on Saturday, October 18, 2025. Bill was born in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, on December 21, 1969, to loving parents, Daniel and Patricia Brennan. He was welcomed by four joyful siblings on Christmas morning at the Brennan family home in Jackson, New Jersey.

Bill was formally educated in the Jackson Township Schools. He began working in the field of construction as a roofer, employed by Brennan Brothers Construction, where, under the guidance and tutelage of his brothers, he learned and performed conventional residential and commercial roofing installations. In his thirties, Bill launched a residential construction business of his own, where he contracted and performed roofing, framing, carpentry, plumbing, window and siding installation, flooring, tiling, and painting activities. Over the years, Bill's exacting and creative craftsmanship brought high levels of satisfaction to hundreds of New Jersey customers, family, and friends.

Bill had the gift of connecting with people and encouraging others. He often shared truths about his Savior, Jesus Christ, and "the scripture of the day." Bill enjoyed playing bass guitar, jamming solo and with his band, riding his Harley, and finding joy in both the simple and complex things in life. He was happiest when chatting with those he loved most. Bill was a proud father and grandfather, a loving son, brother, and uncle, and a devoted partner.

Bill was preceded in death by his father, Daniel J. Brennan, and the love of his life, Marlene Volper, in 2024. Bill is survived by his three beloved daughters, Ayla Jacquelyn Brennan, Brianna Lynn Brennan, Charlie Marie Brennan (and their mother, Penny S. Johnsen); his grandchildren, Autumn Rain, Aurra Ren and Kotal Erron; his mother, Patricia Brennan; his brothers and sisters, Danielle Knowland (Tom), John Brennan (Laura), Gregory Brennan (Mary) and Marjorie Brennan Ambrosio; his 19 nieces and nephews who loved him tremendously; his relatives, and dear friends.

Bill will be remembered for his kindness, sensitivity, creativity, communication, laughter, and love. His legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
