Ok I hope this doesn´t sound weird, but I was looking for a different obit of someone with the same last name and came across yours. I started reading and realized it was not who I was looking for but just had to keep reading because of the wonderful way it was written and the obviously delightful qualities spoken of your beloved husband. Your sense of humor came through loud and clear and your whole very large extended family sound like an awesome lovely group. I don´t think I have ever...

Dear Karyssa & The Marino Family, I only met Brett a handful of times over the past 20 years. However, I felt like I knew him very well. My P'burg buddies spoke about Brett with the highest regard. It was easily understood that Brett was a wonderful P'bug man, family man, friend and someone that you would want on your team. Brett was clearly a man of high integrity, heart-centered, honest, humble, mentally strong , spiritually grounded and had the heart of a lion. In the last ten months,...

Fresh off of field training, my literal first day on the job and LT. Baylor gets shot. I was one of the first on scene and relatively shook but wanting to be useful in every way. Brett shows up almost immediately and instantly took me under his wing. He showed me where to start questioning and looking for surveillance footage. Through all the chaos, Brett took the time to help me when I was lost. It´s a moment I will never forget for the rest of my life. I´m not even sure if I was there a...

We are deeply sorry to hear this! Coach Marino and his family will be on our prayers and remembered for being a wonderful Softball Coach. Our most sincere condolences.

My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. I met Brett a few years ago while in my active addiction. He offered to get me help and that saved my life. I just celebrated 18months clean. I have Brett to thank for that! He was the true definition of community and compassion.
