Honoring the memory of Dr. Greg Brennan, candidate for the Senate

• Dr. Greg Brennan passed away on July 27 at the age of 64.
• He was an active participant in the "Tea Party" movement and a physician-turned-politician.
• The funeral took place at the Cross Assembly church in Raleigh.

In the past, the funeral of Dr. Greg Brennan, a physician from North Carolina, who was popular among conservatives and once ran for the Senate and the House of Representatives in the 2010s, was held in the church. Brennan passed away at his home on July 27 at the age of 64, as confirmed by the obituary posted on the Wake Funeral & Cremation website.

Brennan, who was one of the early figures in the "Tea Party" movement, worked as an attorney-turned-physician for 27 years. He represented himself as a constitutional conservative during his campaign for the Republican nomination for the Senate in 2014, where he placed second in the primary, receiving 27% of the votes. At that time, the primary was won by Tom Tillis, who later won the election in the fall.

Brennan also claimed second place in the primary in 2016 against then-incumbent Senator Richard Burr. In June of that year, he attempted to run for a seat in Congress but did not progress in the primary. Born in the suburbs of Los Angeles, Brennan studied at the University of Southern California and received his medical education from one of the universities in Chicago. In 1993, he moved to North Carolina and began his private practice.

Eventually, Brennan became the medical director and founding member of the company Optimal Bio, which specializes in hormone replacement therapy. On the website of the funeral home, they left a message from the family, which mentioned his medical practice, especially during complex pregnancies.

The funeral of Brennan took place on Saturday at the Cross Assembly church in Raleigh. He was an evangelical Christian in his youth. According to the words, recorded in the obituary, his mission was "to teach people about the love of Jesus Christ, to be devoted to God, to support their family and to help people live healthier and happier lives." He is survived by his wife Jodi, seven children, and two grandchildren.
