Wow this is so werid to be writing this out I really don't know what to say except I Love You Brett! he left this void that I know will never be filled. I can never know what might have been for him and the people he left behind.Know that nothing I could have done will bring this amazing guy back to us. I found this qoute/song in a book and it will always make me think of brett,When your dull from all that gliters, When your thoughts havea hollow ring, When you can't escape from the the feeling your getting it wrong... All your foolproof plans seem foolish, All your status is status quo, All you really need to know is where you belong. Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full into his wounderful face, and the things of this world will grow strangly dim in the light of his glory and grace." To Brett's family I will be praying that you will find comfort in the arms of Jesus. I don't know how any of you are dealing, I only knew Brett sence 7th grade and I still a mess. God bless your family. I will miss you Brett, I love you !!!

Love Sarah McLaughlin

I came on here just to pay my respects to the Amidon family. I myself didnt know Brett. Still I felt as though I should explain why I needed to write. As you probably noticed Brett was truly cared for by so many. To pass at such a young age and still touch so many people is amazing. To many you were their shoulder to cry on and now you are their angel. I give my condolences to you Ms.Amidon, I dont know you but I do know that your son was very much loved and shall never be forgotten. Rest in peace Brett...

I myself did not know Brett. I did however know his Aunt Jeneane. I also have heard how very close they were. My heart breaks for the family, and am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. My world is still spinning and I am still in shock after losing my mom last month. I know what the family is feeling. It is not fair at all. Seems all the good people are always taken way too soon. If anyone needs anything, please feel free to email me. Till then, again my thoughts and prayers are with you.God Bless you All!

p.s. Big gigantic hug to Jeneane. I am so sorry hon

Hey everyone, its so sad to even think that this could ever happen but it did and its tragic for everyone. I've gone to school with Brett since kindergarten and have practically known him my whole life. I remember so many fun times with him, like trick-or-treating with him and my best friend Jenna in 7th grade. Thinking about that always brings a smile to my face. He was such a great person and so genuine. I can honestly say that he succeeds all of the other guys in my life and surpasses them by being the nicest guy i've ever known. He was a WONDERFUL person and will NEVER be forgotten. All I can ask is that everyone prays for him and his family and help them get through this. I love u Brett a.k.a. "Chucky." You're such a sweetheart and you will always be in my heart.

man, i can't believe you are really gone. i have so many great memories of you. i guess i didn't really know brett until last year in bio, but i feel like i have known him a lifetime. this year has been so awesome in photos... i hope you know you are the reason i didn't drop it. well i can remember days where kaitlyn and i would be walking around and i would always ask, "where's brett?" and Brett would be around the next corner. each and every day i walk into photos you would ask me, "Whats wrong?" almost everyday it was the same, "i am tired" and i would let out a yawn. one of the best memories i have of you is when you threw that h2o bottle on me, then i kicked you, then you kicked me, then more h2o on u. but finally we came to a truse... and ate marshmellos... but i doubt any made it into your mouth, we were laughing so hard. man that was an awesome time. i think i had more fun with Brett than anyone at greenway.

Brett was real in a world that is so fake. I respected him for that.i do miss you brett and I really do love you. Brett, i will never look at photos the same w/o you there. Buddy you have taught me so much that i will never forget. thank you brett.

Brett was the kind of guy who could always make you smile. I only knew him for two year, but I will never forget him. He was a friend with everyone not because he was “cool” but because he was friendly to everyone. He would always say hi to you if you were walking down the hall, even if he had no idea what your name was. Brett was an amazing guy. I just hope that everyone will never forget that.

I've know Brett since 7th grade, but didn't really get to know him as a friend till my frosh year like many of us. He would always have a huge smile on his face and a song in his heart it seemed. We recently started talking to eachother more in between classes about our life and how our day had been going. Wednesday there was no Brett to great me going to 6th hour, I'm still kind of in shock about the whole thing. But when he wasn't there I just broke down. Brett could always make me laugh and always knew what to say to cheer someone up. Brett you're missed so much, but we'll see you again sometime in the future. You'll be in our thoughts forever, and in our hearts for eternity. I'll see you again one day, and when I do I expect a big hug :)

Love Always and Forever,

Karen Z.

Brett was an amazing and caring person. Ive known him since 7th grade, but I didnt really start talking to him a lot till 9th grade. The first minute of my first class of my first day, of my first year of high school, there he was, sitting in my class. I was so nervous about my first day, I couldnt even descibe it. He had a way of picking up on whatever you were feeling no matter how hard you tried to cover it up. It was one of the many things that made him special. Well, he just got up, stood a foot from me and stretched out his arms as far as he could. He looked so ridiculous standing in the middle of class like that, opening and closing his fists saying "hug!" in his silly voice he did sometimes. So,of course, I hugged him, and I actually did feel better, he just gave off an aura of kindness and compassion. Almost everyday since then, he would always do the same thing, give me a big bear hug and end it with "I love ya Sabe!". I remember he did that monday morning. All I want now is to hear that again, because I didnt think that was my last brett bear hug.

He was kind without a reason, and I wish I could thank him for that. He would talk to you, and help solve your problem the best he could, even if he didnt know how. Even if he didnt know you! I highly doubt there is anyone like him on earth. Im so sorry we all had to lose you brett, you're going to be missed more than you'll ever know. You are forever my angel and will not be forgotten. RIP.

Love Always,

Sabe

P.S. I love ya, brett!

Brett was an amazing guy. His smile could warm anybody's heart and his laughter make anybody smile. Brett's presence in my life has left an imprint on my soul that will remain there forever. He has truly touched and changed my life forever. I love you Brett and I will miss you. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Wow...I don't even know where to begin. I didn't even know Brett all that well, I went to Sweetwater Elementary with him for two years and our little brothers played on the same baseball team one year. Within that time we became pretty good friends. He was always happy and had a big smile on his face.I've got a lot of memories with him, weather it's watchin baseball games or playing basketball, which we did often. There is one time playing basketball that I will definently never forget though. It was when I was playing basketball with Brett that I met my boyfriend Joe. I can never thank Brett enough for that. Brett is definently missed by many friends and I can't imagine how terrible this is for his family also, you have my condolences. RIP Brett you are loved and missed by many.

Brett was the sweetest guy i have ever met. Ive never none any one like him. To me he was the person i would talk to everyonce in a while to catch up on old times and to tell my problems to. He always had a perfect answer for all of my questions and never let me down. He will always be missed by all of us here. I love you Brett.

I have known Brett since seventh grade but didnt actually get to know him until my freshman year in high school. Brett was such a lovable guy. When my boyfriend broke up with me last year I was sad for a couple of days and he was always there to comfort me and just to talk about what I had on my mind.He would listen to whatever you had to say and give awesome advice to you even if he didn't know exactly what you were going through. Another thing that I admired and truly loved about him was that he always just always could make me laugh. I remember a time on the phone where we were talking about something.(I can't exactly put my finger on it,but)I remember laughing so hard that I coundn't breathe and my eyes were all watery and bloodshot. He was the most funniest guy I have ever met in my entire life. I remember at the beginning of our sophomore year everytime we'd walk by each other he would call me sidewalk beacuse I would always tend to look down when I walked walk to my classes. He would walk by a look down and say sidewalk, sidewalk, sidewalk, in this funny deep voice to make me laugh to know that he was joking around.Last saturday I was on my way to the store and he called me and he told me that he was sitting at the laundry mat doing his laundry there and reading his bible. And I asked him why are you doing your laundry over there? And he told me that his washing machine broke and he only had enough money to do his darks and I told that he could come over to my house and do his laundry. But he said that it was cool he was alomst done anyway. He was such a sweet, caring, happy person.Sometimes you could never tell when he was un- happy because he would always try and succeed to make you laugh an make his frineds cheerful!!! I'll never forget the times we spent together at his house, friends' houses and especially at the mountain!!! His spirit will always live in me and I will never forget the way he made me feel when I was with him!!!! God Bless and take care up there!! Ill miss u and I love you forever!!!!

I LOVE YOU BRETT!!!!!!!!!!!!******

p.s. My prayers go out to his family and Ill always be thinking of you all!!! If you have any questions or need to talk to someone even though I just met you on saturday of last week when I was over but I am always available to talk if you need anything!! God Bless and Take care!!!

i remember the first time i actually talked to Brett. It wa towards the end of 8th grade and I was really upset. He didn't even know me and he comforted me and made sure that I was okay. He was always a very caring person for others. I will never forget that about him. Then we grew closer throughout our high school years and became pretty good friends. We had our rough times but everyone does. The main thing is that we came out caring for each other even more. I'll never forget his smile his laugh or even just having him around. He would alwyas make me happy. I'll never forget you Brett!!!! R.I.P. I'll love you forever and ever and ever...!!!

Love,

Natalie

P.s. My condolences to the Amidon family.
