Brennan L. Rhoades, 35, of Selma, IN, passed away at 9:49pm, on March 9, 2026, in Gaston, IN. He was born in Muncie, Indiana on August 6, 1990, to John I. and Carole J. (Franks) Rhoades.

He graduated from Yorktown High School, Class of 2009. He served in the United States Marines and was honorably discharged after service.  His most recent employment was as a Project Estimator with Deem Mechanical for over 10 years.

He enjoyed shooting, riding dirt bikes, tinkering, spending time with family and friends, and tomfoolery. He enjoyed almost anything involving outdoor activities and was always drawn towards water; rather it be surfing, boating, snorkeling etc.  His cabin was a special place for him.  Brennan had a kind gentle heart that loved deeply. He didn't know a stranger and was happiest when he was with his children. Although Brennan was only physically here on this earth for a short 35 years, he lived those years to the fullest.  He will be missed.
