We are incredibly saddened by the passing of our friend Brett. He definitely was a one-of-a-kind person with a most generous heart and soul.
John and I have so many memories of him making us laugh. He had such a warm personality with that spontaneous hug he always gave. He was a gentleman, always.
We are sorry that he had to leave us so soon, and he will always have such a special place in our hearts.
