Brett KILROE

Brett was gifted in the artful beauty of life and heart. It was evident in high school that this would take him in a direction where everyone involved in his world, would benefit from it. I was very sad to learn of his passing just yesterday. I (along with many) adored him, and unfortunately lost touch.
Time remembered, is grief forgotten,
Blossom by blossom, so the spring begins ...
you brought much joy to many people Brett, who are saddened by your passing but elevated by shared memories with you.

I just found that "zorrillo" left us
I mate Brett in Mexico where i leave ,he was on visit to his dad . We became friends and i visit him in New York.
He was an incredible human been ,so kind and lovefull. My children adored him.
I will miss him

I found out about Brett's passing when I read the remarkable piece about him in The New Yorker magazine.

Although I never knew Brett personally, I knew his Mother and she told me so much about Brett over the years, I felt like I did know him.

My deepest sympathy to the family, especially to Cleo who must miss her beloved son so much.

Oh Brett - so sorry to have missed you. I will always remember the Windermere teen summers; precious times. Reading this tribute to you and your life leaves me filled with joy as you certainly didn't change - full of love and light. I send my deep sympathies and share the loss with Clee, Kent and your friends I never met. You are in my heart & I will feel your Spirit. Friends can find me as @MadelinParks or [email protected]. People knew me as Ines, sister to Radical Al and Carolyn Emery, neighbours and childhood friends w Dubois & Shadybrook campground. We all send our love. Big hugs XO Madelin

Was so saddened to hear the news about Brett, this amazing, wonderful person who was so easy to love. It was a great privilege to know him. My deepest condolences to his mother, brother, family and to all the many, many friends he is survived by and whose lives he touched. There just won't be another one like Brett! <3

We loved our Brett so very much. This writing puts into words what a wonderful human being he truly was. ❤

I can't begin to express my sorrow for the loss of Brett and the shear joy for knowing him.

Though I haven't seen him in over 20 years, the first years of my impressionable life hold many fond memories of Brett and his family.

From summers in Windermere, to listening to Shaun Cassidy in the basement while our parents visited upstairs...you will always have a place in my heart.

Rest easy, Brett, knowing that the impact you had while living will continue to shine on with everyone who had the privilege of knowing you.

See you on the other side!

Much love to Cleo, Kent, and everyone whose lives were touched by Brett.

An aching hole in my heart that can never be filled. I'll never forget him. I will always love him.

My deepest condolences to Clee and Kent and family. Brett was definitely one of a kind and a great, great person and a true friend. I feel privileged to have known him and been able to call him a friend. He was the funniest and most caring person and such fun to be around.
Miss and love you buddy

I am so sorry to hear about Brett, my thoughts and prayers are with you Cleo !

R.I.P Brett will miss you old friend

Some of the best Shadybrook memories for me center around Brett... funny, sarcastic, sympathetic and always a ray of sunshine. Afternoons spent on the lake listening to Platinum Blond to evenings in the park looking up at the stars... he was one of a kind and will be missed.

Cleo and Kent. Although it has been many years and friends drift apart i will always remember the good old days in Canyon Meadows and the summers in Windermere. Very fond memories growing up with the Kilroes being a big part of my life. Brett you will be missed my friend. Because we are only 1 day apart in age i will be thinking about in Oct. So many great memories from Bdays spent together growing up. Love you and miss you.

Forever your friend
