Born February 19, 1993, Brett lived between High Prairie and Edmonton, with numerous stays in New Brunswick in between. In his younger years he enjoyed playing hockey, soccer, ball hockey, swimming and karate. As he grew older and moved out to the yard, it was dirt bikes, quads, sleds, then turbo sleds, trucks, then bigger trucks, then Big Sexy. He was an active member of Western Canadian Powerstrokes. He was a journeyman B-pressure welder, with numerous inspector tickets. Throughout his life, his biggest asset was his beautiful smile and the twinkle in his eye. He thrived on being the go-to guy – anybody who needed anything knew to call Brett. His biggest passion was being a big brother, a great son, an awesome friend, and tire shine. He will be sorely missed by all.
