Passed to Our Father July 5, 2014 at the age of 31. Brett is survived by his mother, Linda, father, Francis, and his older sister, Rachel, his Aunt Bonnie (Bob) Sheldon, Uncles Mike, Tom, John, Joseph Wiesner and Aunt Marianne (Ron) Wachowiak. Also remembered by many cousins, friends and teammates. Brett is preceded in death by his Uncle Renard Valenciano.
Brett excelled in soccer from an early age, being selected to the Olympic Development Program. He played in many countries at each level of the ODP ages U-13-U-20. In his senior year at Brookfield East High School he was selected Wisconsin Gatorade Player of the Year 2001, as well being selected a Parade All American player 2001.
He received a full soccer scholarship to the University of Washington where he excelled in the Pac 10 conference. He signed on to the Seattle Sounders after graduation, and then was recruited to the Milwaukee Wave where he competed for a number of years. He played on the USA Futsol team in the 2008 World Cup of Futsol in Brazil under Coach Tozer.
Following his active professional career in soccer he has coached at North Shore United and most recently at the Brookfield Soccer Association, where his soccer career got its start. Brett was passionate about soccer; coaching, interacting with soccer players of all levels, and helping develop the soccer potential in all the players he worked with.
Brett was a loving, sensitive, son. His smile would light up a room. His many friends shared that he was just so competitive in everything he did. Brett helped those he could with support and
kindness. Donated his long thick locks of hair numerous times to ?Locks of Love? and did many appearances at the State Fair and at Children?s Hospital as a professional player.
Brett will be sorely missed. His wit, quick retorts on texts, and artistic postings on ?Instagrams? were appreciated by many of his friends. His love of life, passion for competing, and sensitive kindness will be remembered forever. His love of his cousins and relatives was genuine and he so loved to play with the younger generations.
Brett, we will miss you. You have left a hole in our lives and a hurt in our heart. Beyond your skills and awards, you were a truly beautiful person. We thank God for the years we had with you. May you rest in Peace.
Visitation will be held at the Funeral Home on Monday, July 14, 2014 from 2 to 7 PM. Mass of Christian burial 11 AM, Saturday, July 19, and internment to follow at St. Bonifacius Church, St. Bonifacius, MN. Memorials appreciated.
?He left it all on the field?

Dear Wiesner Family,
We are so deeply saddened by your loss. We had the pleasure of meeting Brett three years ago at a camp our two kids attended. He made a such a positive, enduring impression upon them and they remember that week as one of their favorite camps. He was a incredible coach, mentor and friend who will never be forgotten. Our thoughts are with you all.
In deepest sympathy,
The Quinn Family

Dear Wiesner Family,
I first met Brett when he bacame coach of my North Shore United club team in Cedarburg. Our team was going through a rough time on the field, but Brett came in and helped turned our team mentality and playing style around. I remember him saying "that's magic!" when he liked what he saw.
A favorite memory of Brett: North Shore United attended a Wave game, and Brett's players stood up behind the opposing goal. Brett smiled at us before the game, then scored early...

Linda, Fran & Rachel, My deepest condoloences to you as it was hard & surprising to read of Brett's passing. I have always had a picture on my wall at home of when I first met Brett in Las Vegas when Rachel brought him over to my condo for a visit. I was impressed with him then as I always was for his talents and kindness. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May the perpetual light shine upon him. Roger A. Ludka

Linda and Fran--We are so sorry for your loss. We remember both of you from CYO and all of us were together up north when we heard about it. You've raised a wonderful son. Gordy Wanasek, Susie (Heidenreich)Hamlett, Jerry Metz, Nancy (Przybyszewski) Dolougy. We would have let Judy (Owen)Kilvinger and Madeline (Tooher) Wollemann know about it, but they both died this past year. Please accept our sincere sympathies. Arlene (Wiemers) Skover
