Brendan Barry McNellis

Brendan McNellis passed away at his home on March 2nd after a courageous battle with cancer. Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, March 7th, 11am at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Blue Earth, MN.

 Born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, he moved to Elmore, Minnesota in 2000 with the love of his life, Raquel. Brendan found his greatest joy in spending time with those he loved, riding his motorcycle or cruising in his classic Cadillac, attending car shows, cheering on the Minnesota Vikings, making his annual trip to the Minnesota State Fair, and truly living life to the fullest.

 He was preceded in death by his parents, Kathleen and Paul, and his brother, Pat. He is survived by his loving wife, Raquel; his siblings, Nick, Terry, Sean, Maura, Nora, Kathy, and Bridget; his children, Jumoke, Nikia, Anita, Mateo (Robin), and Laticia; his grandchildren, Jumoke Jr., Ni'Leyah, Ni'Mari Amor, Elicia (Jeffrey), Reina, Joeseph, Dominic, Victor, and Xavier; and his shining lights through the darkness, granddaughter Mazikeen and great-grandson Kingston.

 He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him.
