The death has occurred of Brendan Thomas, who was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. It was Paulding High School that he attended. His passing came as a great surprise to his family, and they are in complete and utter disbelief. Although he was born in Hartford on January 3, 1975, he resided in North Granby for the majority of his life.
Both Granby Memorial High School and Tunxis Community College were among his educational institutions of choice. It was in 2015 when he received his diploma from Lincoln Technical Institute with the intention of pursuing a career as an auto body and collision technician. Brendan’s father instilled in him a deep appreciation for the natural world and the great outdoors by teaching him how to fly fish and hunt when he was a boy. Archery tournaments were something he enjoyed, and he even managed to shoot multiple “Robin Hoods,” which is the accomplishment of shooting an arrow into another arrow that is already in a target.
During his younger years, he was able to participate in a number of snowboarding competitions in Vermont thanks to his passion for the sport. After that, I finally became interested in snowboarding and competed at Whistler Blackcomb, which is located in British Columbia, Canada. By attending the Montana School for Guides and becoming licensed as a fly fishing guide, Brendan was able to develop his true passion for fly fishing. He learned how to tie his own flies and obtained his certification. Following his return to Connecticut, he developed a passion for guiding small parties on the Farmington River in Northern Connecticut. Additionally, he spent several seasons working as a guide in Vermont.
Above all else, Brendan cherished his mother and father, his brothers, his nieces and nephews, and most of all, his grandfather. He also cherished spending time with his own family. Both his contagious smile and his compassionate attitude will live on in people’s memories of him. It was Brendon who brought a glimmer of joy into the lives of everyone who knew him. In addition to his position as the “diva with the tray” at Olive Garden in Westminster, he was also employed at Carroll Community College, where he became the coordinator of the fitness center.
The Westminster High School graduate went on to get degrees from Carroll Community College and Towson University. He also graduated from Westminster High School. In addition to being a very hard worker, Brendon enjoyed giving people a smile, going to Orioles baseball games, performing, singing, dancing, and scratch offs. He also adored scratch offs.
