Brian P. Donahue
June 25, 1946 - April 10, 2024


Brian P. Donahue, 77 years old, of Saint Charles, Illinois died on April 10, 2024, surrounded by, and in the loving arms of his wife and family.
Born June 25, 1946, to Edward and June Donahue in Chicago, Illinois, Brian attended St. Patrick High School on Chicago’s North Side, and went on to have a successful career in computer and software sales management, most notably as an early employee of Apple Computer during the brand’s emergence as a personal computing (and now personal technology) powerhouse. Brian will especially be remembered for his love for and pride in his family, his warm, kind, inclusive personality, his hugs, and his famous brand of storytelling. Brian had a true passion for life and good times, for the sun, the beach, golfing and, while an employee (retired) at Dick Pond Athletics in St. Charles for 10 years, was also an avid runner.
Brian is survived by his wife and best friend of 42 years, Deborah Donahue, Children Keri Cannizzo, Jason (Brenda) Donahue and Ashley (Noah) Cage; Grandchildren Matthew (Riley), Christopher and Jessica Cannizzo (affectionately referred to as the “Bigs”), Lucas and Owen Donahue (the “Middles”) and Graham and Logan Cage (the “Littles”); Siblings Mick (Cathy) Donahue and Kathy (Dale, deceased) Miller; plus countless nieces, nephews, cousins, co-workers and friends who loved him dearly. He spent his last 5 years as a popular and well-respected employee at the Home Depot in Geneva, Illinois.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date, details to come. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the River Corridor Foundation of St. Charles, to support the beautification of the Downtown riverfront where Brian enjoyed spending time. www.stcrivercorridor.org
