John A. Brennan, age 55 of Highland Lakes died suddenly on Monday, April 25, 2011 at home.
He was born in Paterson and raised in Riverdale having attended St. Mary's School, Pompton Lakes from 1st through 8th grade and later graduated from DePaul High School with the Class of 1974 where he was Valedictorian. He attended Seton Hall University in South Orange and received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from William Paterson University in Wayne.
John had a deep commitment to his Catholic faith. He was a member of St. Marys RC Church, Pompton Lakes where he served as an alter boy in his youth. He later became a member of the Knights of Columbus with the St. Joseph Council, Butler. Most recently he was a parishioner of Our Lady of Fatima RC Church, Highland Lakes.
John was employed by the Information Technology division of United Parcel Service, Paramus for the past twelve years. His first job was in the Building Materials Department of the K-Mart department store in Wayne. It is here that he met the love of his life Sharon Lang. After dating for only four weeks John knew he had found the one for him. He asked Sharon to marry him at the King George Diner in Wayne and they married at Saint Marys Church, Pompton Lakes nine months later on August 6, 1977. They honeymooned in Disney World and have enjoyed a loving, devoted marriage as an inseparable couple.
John will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor, quick wit, outgoing, and fun loving demeanor. He always had some kind of project in the works and could be referred to as a Mr. Fix It. He loved to travel and has been to Ireland, Disney World, New England, and on Cruises.
He was the loving husband of thirty-four years to Sharon(nee Lang) Brennan; loving father of Robert Brennan of Dedham, MA, Ryan Brennan of Charleston, SC and Kathleen Brennan of Highland Lakes; loved brother of Andrew Brennan of Haledon, Maureen Tencza of Riverdale, Richard Brennan and his wife Nancy of Pine Brook, Rosemary Uhl and her husband Bill of Dingmans Ferry, PA, and Joseph Brennan and his wife Beth of Doylestown, PA; cherished uncle of 9 nieces and nephews.
