Brett Godfrey Obituary
Brett Wagner Godfrey
Brett Wagner Godfrey was born Nov. 3, 1963 in Billings, Montana. He grew up in a family of six brothers spanning 10 years apart in age. Brett graduated Billings West High School in 1983 where he met his high school sweetheart Valerie A. Burrowes. The two were married in March of 1990 and celebrated 25 years of marriage in 2015. He cared for her during her long battle with MS and she passed away that same year. Brett was a business owner and managed several operations in the auto detail industry. His last adventure was with Master Lube where he mentored youth with his strong work ethic and dedication to excellence. Brett always had a smile on his face with an endless contagious laughter.
He spent the last years of his life enjoying fishing and camping and time with his angel Sylvia Colunga. While Brett never had kids of his own he had many nieces and nephews that adored him. Family was important to him. He is survived by his brothers Craig, Russel, Chad, Henry and preceded in death by JD. To leave condolences for the family, please visit www.cfgbillings.com.

Brett was an amazing person. He was my head crew chief at Long John Silvers! We served many people great food and we had a great team doing it. My most memorable time is when our Arabian horses were over heating fro. The hot summer sun, and we had to water spray them down with hoses, He ripped off his work pants down to his shorts , threw his pants at my Mom, and said Mom, hold this!" And she did!! Brett helped me save our horses from a bad hot temperature day of crisis. Bless is heart. Val was there too laughing with my Mom. Brett also ran the detail shop at Auto Auction of Montana and he had an amazing team.
God has put Val and Brett together again, life is missed without him but I know he is blessed
