Dennis Brennan Obituary

Dennis Patrick Brennan, 68, of Durango, Colorado, passed away on August 23, 2022. Denny was born in Durango to Charles and Joanne Brennan on May 21, 1954.

Denny worked for the Brennan Oil Company for nearly 50 years. He loved golf and football (especially the Colorado Buffaloes and the Denver Broncos.) Denny was an athlete in his youth. He often reminded friends and family of the no-hitter he pitched against the Aztec Tigers of New Mexico in 1972.

Denny is survived by his wife of 30 years, Tamra Brennan; his mother Joanne Brennan; and his siblings Judy Schmidt, Kelly Brennan (Michelle), Kevin Brennan (Shanna), Charlie Brennan (Christi) and Kegan Brennan (Aimee) all of Durango; and many nieces and nephews.

Denny was preceded in death by his father Charles Brennan. A celebration of Denny's life is planned by the Brennan family in the future.
