Brett Luddington Obituary

LINCOLN - Brett Matthew Luddington, 53, of Lincoln passed away Jan. 19, 2021, at Bryan Medical Center East, from complications of pneumonia.
Brett was born on Oct. 10, 1967, in Grand Island to Terry and Linda (Denman) Luddington. He graduated from Ogallala Senior High School while living with his grandparents, Francis and Gwen Luddington. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from University of Nebraska at Kearney.
Brett worked much of his life in theatre production and food service. During the past few years, the love of his life was being at Target South in Lincoln as a barista in Starbucks. He considered his fellow Target employees part of his family. Also, he enjoyed the "regulars" who visited the coffee shop.
Brett had a fantastic, quick, witty sense of humor. He loved making people laugh. He was talented in drawing, making beautiful decorations, and creatively restoring junk into beauty. Brett especially loved being with his niece and nephew, Olivia and Matthew.
Those left to cherish his memory include his mother, Linda Luddington of Grand Island; brother, Lance Luddington of Grand Island; niece, Olivia Luddington; nephew, Matthew Luddington; aunt, Dixie (Denman) Sanger; uncle, Jim Denman; aunt and uncle, Susan (Luddington) and Bill Peters; and numerous cousins.
Brett was preceded in death by his father, grandparents and super cool uncle, Warren Sanger.

My overwhelmingly sincere condolences. I really am crushed. We had a lot of good times together. He lived with us when he moved to Lincoln. Lots of holidays, trips in the back of a truck to go skiing, Madonna, waitering at In Harms Way where I STILL had the best experience ever. I still have the map. Brett would think that's funny. Thanks for letting me share.

Brett is unforgettable. Though we lost touch, I´ll never forget him helping me paint my apartment and make it
a beautiful space to call home. He always made me laugh; and we shared some great adventures together. He had a caring heart and a sharp sense of humor. Condolences to his family. So sorry for your loss.

Rest In Peace Brett. So sad to hear this. Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

I´m so very sorry to hear this. My heart is sad. I kept waiting for him to get better and come back to Starbucks as I´m a regular customer. He´s a lovely soul and may that live on in all that were touched by him...

To Brett's family, I am very sorry for your loss. He was far too young. I went to college with Brett and we laughed a lot. He loved to host get togethers, he was very involved at school, we did many shows and dance recitals together, and he loved to have fun. Brett was very talented. He will be truly missed by many.
