SAVANNAH - Thomas Edward Brennan, Jr. died peacefully in his home on March 6, 2013 surrounded by his loving family. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a friend and mentor to many.

This large and loving family brought Tom great joy throughout his life. The Brennan family would like to thank all those who have assisted Tom during these last few months of illness, especially Dr. Doug Hanzel and his caring nurse Tonja McLeod of Spanish Oaks Hospice. They would also like to thank the priests and nuns of St. James Catholic Church present and past for their kindness to Tom and his family.
