Timothy B. Brennan, 68, died suddenly in his home Aug. 2. He was born to Robert and Carolyn McDonnell Brennan in Tulsa, Oklahoma June 23, 1954. He grew up the oldest boy in a household of seven children with siblings Katie, Kris, Pat, Eddie, Robert and John. He married Nancy Smith in Texas in 1983. They moved to St. Louis in 1988 and together they raised three children: Alexandria, Tyler and Kristina (Kaci). Tim found great fulfillment in reading, learning and educating others. He had particular passions for both Shakespeare and American history, and had the opportunity in his decades at the Mehlville School District to teach both at Hagemann Elementary and Buerkle Middle. Tim always had a wisecrack at the ready to lighten the mood, even in the toughest circumstances. He is missed by many.
