I met Brett through Lori. Although I didn't know him real well, I knew him enough to know he was a good-hearted, kind man. He was so thrilled when Lori and I had our baby daughter. He was known as "Uncle Brett" to her. I can't find the words to describe how good of a person he was. I know he will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him, including myself.

Judie, Tracy and Family
I knew Brett for the longest time and was very sad to hear of his death.I will miss our many phone calls catching up on each others lives. My dog Taz will also miss her monthly nail clipping from him. He was the best friend anyone could ask for. He was so good with my daughter. My prays go out to the whole family.

I want to send out prayers to all of Brett's family. It was a shock to hear of his passing. I knew him through Kohl's and had enjoyed working with him. He had a great sense of humor and that will be missed.

I am sorry to hear of Brett' passing. I had the pleasure of working with him at Pick n save Wales. He was much too young to go.
My condolences

I had the pleasure of working with Brett at Kohl's Food Store, Grantosa. He was always a funny and caring individual and a key part of the store team. I always enjoyed his stories from his work at the dairy farms. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Judie, Rod, and Tracy,

We're all familiar with the expression: “words fail." That's exactly how I'm feeling now with the sudden and tragic loss of Brett. I don't know what to say except I am so, so sorry. Even after having experienced the loss of my own father, you'd think I would have some experience with what magic words to say. But there are no magic words, are there? There is really no right thing to say at a time like this and I know that. But there is no wrong thing to say either - and I hope that every expression of love you receive, every remembrance or kind wish or friendly and loving message of condolence serves to lift you up and help you find peace. Brett was loved. Judy and Rod and Tracy, you are loved, too, and I hope you find the brighter days you deserve in that notion, and in these pages. My sincere condolences.

Love,
Rich Airis

I worked with Brett at Pick and Save (Granville Station). I am so sorry for your loss. Brett and I talked frequently. He was a very nice person who help me troubleshoot many things in the bakery kitchen. He will be missed.

Hi Judy,
I'm so sorry to hear about Brett's passing. I'm not sure that I ever met Brett (maybe the last reunion that I attended in West Allis), but he is family non the less. I know that it must hurt you terribly. He was so young. My heart goes out to you, Judy.... Keep your faith, Cousin Bob
