John Joseph Brennhofer

John Joseph (Joe) Brennhofer of Pine City, MN passed away from cancer on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at the age of 60.

Joe was born on May 12, 1966, to John and Joyce (Warren) Brennhofer in St. Paul, MN. Joe graduated in 1984 from Tartan Senior High School, Oakdale, MN.

Joe will be greatly missed. He was devoted to family and friends. There was nothing Joe couldn't fix, repair or build. He enjoyed cooking and barbecuing and built a BBQ smoker that rivaled the best. He was an avid outdoorsman, but his passion was fishing. Whether it was in a boat or on the ice, he had every type of fishing lure and other gear to snag the catch. In his later years, he was able to travel with friends on fishing expeditions.

He had many pets during his lifetime. He loved and cared for them with all his heart. His last dog,"Fruey", survived him and now lives with his sister. Joe was a truck driver and for the last twenty years, worked for UPS Freight and then TForce out of Blaine, MN. He was the union steward.

Joe you are loved and, in our hearts, and memories.

Joe is survived by his sister, Cindy Schoonmaker; his devoted friend and caretaker, Jill Meier; aunts, Joanne Clausen and Dianne Warren; friend and cousin Brent Warren along with other cousins and many special friends to include Jeff and Joleen Selvog, and Dave Zangs.

He is preceded in death by his parents John and Joyce Brennhofer.
