I miss Brett, but I know where he is. Even though he has loved ones still here, I don't believe that he would change places with any of us. Aunt Naomi,

I worked with Brett at Liberty. I was only there a month or so, but this literally sent a shock to me when I heard about it a moment ago. Brett was a great friend for the time I knew him, and could always cheer everyone up when they were down. He will be dearly missed...

Brett will be missed by more than just family. He was always a great playmate during those awkward family reunions where 1-2 days a year was never enough time to enjoy my family. I will never forget playing "Paper, Rock, Scizzors" against Brett to sit "shotgun" in Roberts obnoxiously loud dually pickup...and losing...and getting ribbed because he won 3 times in a row. May God give his family strength and hope for as long as it takes. Rest peacefully cousin.

Our hearts ache for losing a beloved nephew. We will always treasure this summer's family reunion which included Brett and his sons Stephen and Joshua. May God's comfort and peace surround us all with a difficult loss but one who was surely loved. Uncle Dave and Aunt Shirley and family, Chesapeake, VA
