Sandy and Les,
Brett was in my first class at St. Theresa's. That was 17 years ago. I remember the 5th grade Brett like it was yesterday. He was such an inspirational young boy with so much enthusiasm. I remember the time I watched the kids at your home for 3 days. Ryan and Brett would roughouse, like brothers do, and I was worried about whether Brett would get hurt. I remember Brett telling me, "We do this all the time." Now, a mother of 2 boys, I can only imagine how you must...

To Les, Sandy, Jennifer and Ryan,

Although it's been over 15 years since I had even seen Brett, I was still shocked when I heard the news of his passing through the proverbial grapevine.

I have many great childhood memories with Brett from our days together in Sagewood. I remember this one day, we were playing catch in his front yard. I badly overthrew him and hit the top of Sandy's car :-). Sandy was so mad...

I also remember one of the scariest days of...

Dear Packer Family and Friends-

What a wonderful son you raised. My memories may be few of Brett, but they all make me smile. He always had a smile on his face and was so happy. He
was intelligent and surrounded himself with wonderful people like himself.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with all of you as you grieve. Daryl, Michelle and Donna at Richardson Family Chiropractic

Brett was an important part of our group. He will live on in the stories we tell about him and will continue to make us laugh. Thank you Brett for being you, totally unique, and a positive entity. He was the best of us all. Of all of the people I will meet in my life Brett will always stand out. I will always be so thankful for all of the time I spent with Brett over the years, last summer, and saying goodbye to him the day he left for his surgery.

He sure could shake it on...

Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time. I can't help but think of this quote, when thinking about Brett.
"I shall pass this way but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now.
Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall never pass this way again."
He was a very special young man and touched so many lives in such a positive way. He will never be forgotten. I'm sure the Lord said to Brett upon his...

Having Brett play on our golf team was a great experience for all of us. His great attitude in spite of all he had and was going through healthwise made all of us appreciate much more the opportunities we had. He was always smiling and enjoying his time around us (not that double-bogeys didn't piss him off) and he made us have more fun. Thank you so much for sharing him with us. Our prayers and condolences are with all of you. He is missed, but his strength will certainly live on with...
