Cove Ryan Brennecke

Cove Ryan Brennecke

Graduated from earth into the arms of our Savior on March 30th, 2025. Forever 11 he will be.

Cove was born June 17th, 2013, to Shiloh and Dirk Brennecke in Montrose, CO. This was the best day of their lives!

The family moved to Grand Junction not long after Cove was born, where they resided for many years. Cove attended a Christian school, where Coves relationship to God developed and forever sustained. Recently, the family moved back home to Montrose to settle in and grow their family. Cove had wanted to be a big brother for so long. God blessed us in 2024 with his baby sister.

At the age of 4 - Cove was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma and fought this fight for seven years. With gaining remission several times, the disease was persistent. Our Warrior, Cove got tired… He fought so hard, for so long. But this is not how he wanted to be remembered. This is how we want to remember him:

His smile lit up a room, his laugh was pure and full of life. His spirit brought the most bright light to those that knew him. Cove was full of life, love and the Holy Spirit. He taught his parents to love the Lord and brought those who don’t know our Father, to Him. Those in faith, became deeper.

Cove served one of the most influential testimonies to life in his 11 years. We know he is safe, pure, healed and whole in the arms our of Savior.

Cove loved to fish with his Dad and many times managed to catch the biggest one. He loved camping, hunting, boating, video games and bringing people together. “Can we have people over for a party?” He would ask his parents almost every weekend. Cove was a SUCH vibe, and his light will carry on.

Cove is survived by his Mom (Shiloh Brennecke (Donley) and Dad (Dirk Brennecke). His baby sister (Maybelle Brennecke), Mimi (Joy Donley) and Grandma and Grandpa (Merri and Heinie Brennecke). Aunt Amy and Uncle Johnny Engel and his cousins (Bailey and Braiden Engel). Aunt Jessica and Uncle Andrew Brennecke and cousins (Cannon, Lane and Ivy Brennecke). His uncle Ryan Brennecke

Cove was greeted in Heaven by his uncle Ryan Anders, and Great grandparents.
