Affectionately known as 'Old Mr Brennan' due to adverts for his bread, he founded the company in 1972.
Mr Brennan baked the first loaves of Brennans Bread in a one room bakery in Dublin's Fumbally Lane.
The company has since moved to Walkinstown and is now one of the largest bakeries in Ireland.
The operations are still very much family-run with the Brennan family overseeing the recipes and baking skills.
The company, which uses with the slogan 'Today's Bread Today' has presistantly been one of Ireland's biggest selling grocery brands.
