In Loving Memory
I knew Brett for 31 yrs. We went to kindergarten together & all thru school. He was my friend even when he wasn't. He was in my same ward growing up too. I'll never forget him he was a great guy.

I've known Brett since I was in junior high. He was a part of my family and always such a fun brother in-law. He was always helping my family with car repairs, and cracking jokes. We are so heartbroken for your loss, and sending prayers to your family.

Brett and I were good friends back in the day. We'd always figure out something fun to do. You could catch us biking up at the U, doing car stuff, going on double dates, or loading up on discounted donuts at Dan's bakery late nights. He was truly a great friend and I'll never forget the memories we had.
