Brendan Wilkie

Tim Wilkie Slow down on that milk cowboy

Katie Wilkie Brendan was born in 1993, a beautiful and happy baby who already was making everyone laugh.

Tim Wilkie Brendan and Kate took their first trip to Disney. That picture of you guys holding hands is beautiful. I'm glad I caught it.

Tim Wilkie Brendan was a master of disguise. Here are some examples of his work.

Tim Wilkie Brendan was always very photogenic. The camera like his intensity. Here he is breaking hearts at his Uncle Paul's wedding reception with Uncle Brian.

Tim Wilkie Brendan's love of dogs and animals started with Bailey, our loveable yellow Lab. It was Brendan who, while washing dishes, dropped a pastry brush covered in chicken fat. Bailey thought "that's chicken" and $2,000 later, we had it out of him. Brendan loved Davey our coonhound too, and always yelled at me that he needed to get more exercise. Mind you, he didn't GIVE Davey more exercise, but he did advocate to me on Davey's behalf. Love you Brendan. Lastly, I'm now the proud owner of Brendan's turtle Tiny.

Tim Wilkie Brendan immediately showed he belonged on a skateboard. He won the first contest he ever entered at Shield's, won a few more but pretty quickly decided he didn't want to be judged. He really dug the soul of it all. I think the first picture of him with the bike helmet if the day he first got a complete. He graduated from that to the yellow helmet made popular by Andy Hamilton. He loved Bob Burnquist, Tony Hawk, Andrew Reynolds...all early skate icons to him.

Tim Wilkie On the second trip to Disney, Brendan had his first try at King Arthur's Sword. A Discovery Cove day got us all a swim with the dolphins and Brendan got to feed nectar to the birds.

Cathryn Piwinski Brendan famously climbs out the stalled school bus window to get home before his sister, Katie, to drink all the Mountain Dew.

Tim Wilkie Brendan heard my friend Jay and I go on and on about the Hunting and Fishing Camp we bought after we graduated High School. It was in Punxsutawny, Pa. - the home of Punxsutawny Phil. This is Brendan at just two of the 20+ statues of Phil outside local businesses - all customized paint jobs per the business. Brendan was a good sport for the first 15 or so but yeah, we made him pose with every one! That's also the Hotel in Punxy that was Bill Murray's Hotel in Groundhog Day

Jawn G I cant quite remember the year but this was classic brendan humor. He was SO funny

Jawn G Brendan and Timmie fulton in Timmies basement. We had a lot of fun skating down there

Jawn G this was right around the time i graduated high school. I remember everyone coming over my house to swim. I love these guys so much. Andy was having a pretty hard time around then. It brings me joy to see him now with those hard times behind him. I wish for another photo of all of us 20 years from now...

Jawn G back in the snapchat days... Brendan sent this to me and I burst out laughing. He was the funniest person i knew.

Tim Wilkie Brendan had a rough High School experience and we decided he would withdraw from school with the stipulation that he immediately prepare for the GED. After a few days looking at a book for prep, he scored in the 99th percentile and got his GED at RVCC in this ceremony. He was genuinely happy in a cap and gown.

Tim Wilkie Larry the Lobster and Brendan became inseparable in OBX in 2012. These pics document their love. We even bought one for the pool back home, but it was just a OBX fling. The new lobster just wasn't Larry.

Katie Wilkie Brendan interviews Jeremy Holmes (and is then published!) for Skate Jawn. Brendan was well-loved among the skateboarding community. He was admired for his insane sense of humor and his undeniable talent. I’m sure everyone who got to speak to him in a professional setting was in awe of who he was. Proud of you, Brendan. ♥️ https://skatejawn.com/jeremy-holmes-interview/

Tim Wilkie Brendan always liked Disney. This was one of several trips there, but it was great to be there at Christmas time. It made him happy to be with family. He LOVED Soarin' in Epcot, Splash Mountain and Space Mountain in Magic Kingdom. Ad you can see, he had a crush on Snow White...lol.

Tim Wilkie This Spain trip was one of Brendan's greatest memories. It opened his mind up to possibilities. He loved it. That clown on the metro might be one of the best pictures all-time

Jawn G Brendan sent this to me, Mitchell, Nik, and andrew. It was simultaneously the sweetest thing ever with some comedy mixed in. I love him so much

Tim Wilkie Brendan loved the outdoors. Camping, hiking and fishing made him happy and calmed his mind. It is one of my great memories to have hiked the Appalachian Trail with him on this trip.

Tim Wilkie Brendan first considers the career of Goat Handler. Seriously, I love this memory. We were supposed to wait for a goat Handler to help us, but we just took over.

Tim Wilkie Brendan shaved his head. He thought it would be "cool". You be the judge. I begged him to stay in 'til it grew in a little. Nice razor burn on his head too.

Jawn G I think andy spotted this shortly after Brendans passing. A good sign...

Jawn G Brendan as an old man. I wish I could have seen him get this old. I would have told him about the time he ripped up an entire pack of brand new newports in a effort to quit smoking. He would have told me to shut up haha
