James "Matt" Brennan, husband of Jane, 70, of Darwin, passed away unexpectedly July 9 at his home. A celebration of life will be from 1-5 p.m. Sunday, July 30, at the Darwin Rod and Gun Club in Darwin.
He was born May 6, 1953, in Madelia, the son of James B. and Mary M. (Lansing) Brennan. He graduated from Madelia High School and later went on to vocational school. He pursued his career in agronomy through his retirement in December 2019. Matt married the love of his life, Jane (Wemeier) Brennan, in 1982. They celebrated their 41st year of marriage on May 1, 2023.
He was a true example of a loving husband, brother, dad, grandpa and friend who always put others before himself. He loved living on the lake with his partner in crime, Jane. Together they loved to go on pontoon rides, fish off the dock/ice fish, have coffee with the neighbors, go on wildlife runs, make countless memories with their grandkids, and go on Sanford and Sons runs. You could also always find Matt sitting on the veranda with his fly swatter and a cold one and cleaning up after Jane in the kitchen.
He is survived by his loving wife, Jane (Wemeier) Brennan; his son, Joe and wife Nicole (Koistinen) Brennan; their children, Brooklynn and Zach; his son, Will and wife Brittany (Karls) Brennan; their children Carson, Landon, and Rogan; his stepson, Nate and wife Tami (Eisenschenk) Bliss; their children, Caden, Masen, and Ashten.
