CONCORD, NH – Brendon S. Browne, 40, of Concord, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 12, 2019 at his residence. He was born on August 2, 1978, in Manchester, the son of John F. and Linda A. (Allard) Browne.

Brendon grew up in Bedford and attended West High School. He graduated from the University of New Hampshire Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and obtained his Law Degree from University of New Hampshire-Law School.

Brendon was an avid sports fan where you could find him rooting for the Patriots and Red Sox but his true passion was watching international soccer.

Brendon was a kind and gentle soul who loved his family, was a loyal friend and was best pal’s with Mabel, the family dog. He had a quick wit, he could finish a logic puzzle in seconds, and was an endless source of random facts. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and was the most genuine person.

Members of his loving family in addition to his parents include his sister, Chelsea Browne; many aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
