Eric Robert Brenner

Eric Robert Brenner Eric left us on July 14, 2023 for a heavenly place. He had just celebrated his 72nd year on earth. Eric was diagnosed in 2007 with a rare carcinoid tumor cancer, which he fought and survived many years longer than any doctor expected. Eric was born in Trenton, NJ, and raised in Westfield, NJ. He attended The Pingry School, graduating in 1969, and received a degree in Communications from the University of Vermont. Some of Eric's best memories were summers with his family on Bear Island on Lake Winnipesaukee, NH. He loved that lake - racing boats and water skiing. Eric's passion then turned to motorcycles, where he spent weekends racing his TZ250 at Bridgehampton, NY, Pocono. PA, and Loudon, NH. This passion of riding and building motorcycles stayed with him for 50 years. It was always his favorite topic of conversation and goal for his free time. Eric's career first began in a recording studio in NYC, then to SSC+B/Lintas, rising to Senior Vice President, Executive Producer working on Heineken, Cover Girl, Diet Coke, etc., Also with Tracy-Locke, Dallas, TX, and finally Coca-Cola North America as Group Director, Integrated Multi Media Production, Atlanta, GA. Eric traveled the world shooting commercials - working with many notable directors, actors, athletes, and musicians. He was valued and respected by many for his unique sense of artistic approach and execution. Eric remained in Georgia after retirement, where he and his wife Barbara built their dream house on a lake in Newnan, GA. Eric is preceded in death by his Father, Dr. Robert Brenner, and his Mother, Anne. Also his Sister, Chris Macdonald, and Brotherin-law, Kenneth Ott. Eric is survived by his wife of 27 years, Barbara, and nieces Kelli Zortman, Jenah Edgcomb, Morgan Ott, and Katie Ott Walker, also Sister-in-law Heidi Ott and Brother-in-law Tom Sante. In lieu of flowers, a donation to a cat rescue organization like Feral Cat Program of Georgia (fcpga.org) or Good Mews Animal Foundation (goodmews.org) would be wonderful. Eric loved animals, and especially his beautiful girls, Layla and Sophia, adopted from Feral Cat Program of Georgia. There will be a Celebration of Life planned for the near future.
