To Brett, his friends were his family: Mike, Ron, Huy, Gary, Steve, Drew, John, and many more were a huge part of his life until the end. Brett is survived by his wife Cindy, his son Brett (Natalie), his daughters Jennifer (Glen) and Ashley (Josh), his nine grandchildren Jake, Jace, Finn, Isabelle, Haley, Jared, Tate, Luke and Sloane, his two sisters Annis and Vicki, and many nieces and nephews.

Can knowing that God has empathy for us help us deal with adversity?
How comforting it is to know that God understands and feels for us, Ps 94:19 says: when anxieties overwhelm me, you comforted and soothed me.
So sorry for your loss, may you find comfort in God's word.

I remember Brett when he had his GTO & he drove to San Bernardino to spend the night with Marie & I at our apartment(I believe it was 1974 or 1975). He was so proud of his GTO & we remained friends. Our sincere condolences to Cindy & their family.

I knew him from Barstow Music store on East Main St. If I'm remembering right he & his wife decided to move because of wanting their kids to be able to go to some better schools. That to me was extremely admirable. They were an awesome family. Prayers going up for all of them & his/their friends. Having lost family members.. one as recently as last month I know the pain they're going through. Sheryl (Purdy)Bernasconi
