Joel S. Brenker, 62, of Staten Island, New York, passed away on March 27, 2026.

Joel was the proud co-owner of 5 County Alarm Systems, a company originally founded by his father, Stuart Brenker, in 1975. Joel joined the business as a partner in 1980, helping grow it into a well-respected and trusted name throughout Staten Island. A highly skilled and largely self-taught technician, Joel had an exceptional understanding of alarm systems, cameras, audiovisual systems, and technical integration.

Joel was widely known and respected in the Staten Island community as someone who was always willing to help others. Whether it was family, friends, or anyone in need, Joel was often the first call, the first to arrive, and the first to step in.
