Brett Flikkema Obituary

On Dec. 26, 2010, our loving son and brother, Brett Flikkema, left this earth suddenly for a quieter, calmer place. Brett was born Jan. 2, 1981, in Bozeman.

As he grew up, Brett loved to swim, play football, fish, the great outdoors, and photography. Brett had a very special place in his heart for children and animals. He valued his friendships deeply and was always an advocate for those who needed someone to stand up for them. He wanted the best for those around him and had a very tender, loving heart for his family. Brett was always willing and ready to help out in any way he was able to.

He is survived by his father, Everett Flikkema; mother, Tami Moe; sister, Heather Flikkema; grandma, Nene Flikkema; grandma, Marlene Gates; grandfather, Burton Moe; great-grandmother, Marie Hagen; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. He will be deeply missed by everyone who loved him.

The service will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 30, at Journey Church at the Commons, Baxter Lane and Love Lane.

Donations may be made to a charity of the donor's choice.

Arrangements are in the care of Dokken-Nelson Funeral Service; www.dokkennelson.com.
