My name is David Brennan and I have been a fourth generation licensed funeral director for nearly 40 years. Since I was 18, I worked at and eventually ran our family funeral home in Connecticut, until 2022. I am a proud father of twins; I have a son and daughter born on the Fourth of July. Once they made it clear that I would not be turning things over to this fifth generation, I sold the business and headed for friendlier winter temperatures. For the past couple of years, I have called the greater Charlotte area home.

Unfortunately, I am a diehard Miami Dolphins Fan and just can't find the courage to jump ship and cheer for a winner. I am also an avid golfer who enjoys traveling around this beautiful country, looking for the best courses to play. After finding a suitable caretaker for my business, I took some time off and bought a 35-foot Class A, RV. In 30 months, I visited 19 States and 32 Cities. People ask me what that experience was like, and I say it was like the Forest Gump box of chocolates. Never knew what each day would bring, but it certainly was a once in a lifetime adventure.

As I looked to begin a new journey in my professional career, it was important to access those areas of the job that were found to be the most meaningful and rewarding. That deep reflection led to my current passion and position; assisting people with pre-planning and documenting exactly how they would like to be remembered. Over the years, I consistently found that those who took the time to do this positively affected how their survivors grieved. It provided them with a road map helping them to avoid major detours, as they navigate a new life now filled with loss and new uncertainties.

In these later years of my life, finding ways to be impactful and helpful to my adult children has become a daily challenge. I'm glad that I have taken care of this for them.

There is more to life than deadlines, chores, and the never-ending to-do list. Slow down. Watch the sunset, call someone...

There is more to life than deadlines, chores, and the never-ending to-do list. Slow down. Watch the sunset, call someone you love, laugh a little longer, and appreciate the small moments. Life isn't meant to be rushed, it's meant to be lived.

Don't forget to make time for what truly matters.
