Opening up on his grief, Brendan revealed that he managed to get through the tough times by keeping in constant contact with his family back home while he was stuck in Florida amid the pandemic.
"First of all, I tried to stay in touch with everyone as best as I could," he told RSVP Magazine.
"On the other hand, I always tried to keep in mind that somebody was always having it worse than I was.
"And I know a lot of people who had it worse than us. But losing two sisters and a sister in law was tough and God is good."

Brendan's other sister, Eilish recently told how her comedian brother was able to have one last laugh with Fiona.
She told the Irish Mirror : “An awful lot had to be halted for me recently.
“Sadly my sister took very ill and passed away in Canada on March 3.
“I had been out there with her for Christmas but we didn’t manage to get out until the day after she died.”
"He was there to see her and got her talking and laughing and singing and I knew she was hanging on for him.
“They were very close, she was like a second mammy. Very much so. For her I know it was her wish to see him and she did and that was lovely.”
