Born on October 31st, 1995, in Scottsdale, Arizona, Brendan completed his family of four, alongside his father, Michael Glover, his mother, Erin Kelly, and his sister, Briana Glover.

At a young age, Brendan discovered his passion for baseball, quickly becoming a standout player. His family spent countless weeknights and weekends immersed in the sport they all cherished. Brendan’s dedication extended to countless hours at the batting cages, playing catch in the backyard, and one-on-one training. Even though he eventually stepped away from the game, his enthusiasm for sports never wavered.

Brendan’s love for horses was another defining aspect of his life. Following his time at Arivca Boys Ranch, he found solace in training and riding horses, ultimately forming an unbreakable bond with his own horse, Thor. The healing and companionship Thor provided inspired Brendan’s family to donate him to a facility for working with other children, continuing Brendan’s legacy of compassion. Brendan was still on his journey to find his career passion but the one part of his life that was set to last was his love and dedication to his best friend Dannika.

His absence leaves a void that will be deeply felt by family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. We will forever hold Brendan’s memory close in our hearts, sharing our cherished moments and preserving his legacy.
