To The Bretz Family,
The death of a loved one is one of the most devastating experiences a human can face. At times, the loss may seem unbearable. Mourn and grieve as you must, and do not be afraid to cry, because crying serve as an emotional release. "For everything there is an appointed time, even...a time to weep." Ecclesiastes
3:1,4. With Peace and Loving-Kindness,

My deepest sympathies to the Bretz Family. I had the honor of meeting Jack when he roomed with my son Steven at the Edge. My son has always said what a truly great guy Jack was. I know he is honored to be a fraternity brother and friend to Jack. May God Bless you and watch over Jack and your family.

I had the pleasure of being Jack's hairstylist, but also considered him a friend. We laughed til we cried, we talked about his experiences with his fraternity, and his friends. He once brought me a picture of Tom Brady and I remember us laughing, who doesn't want to look like Tom Brady. I was honored when he asked me to shave his head during this fight. I'm grateful for knowing him and will continue to pray for your family.

Kimberley and I want to give our deepest sympathies to Jack and your family. We probably only met Jack once or twice and we always saw what a fine person he was. He was a deep friend and Sig-Ep brother to our son Ben and had a major influence on his life. Even though we live in Fayetteville, we could see from a far the great bondage that Jack and Ben had, and was also shared by their Sig-Ep fraternity.
Jack will be greatly missed but will always be fondly remembered within the Coy Family.

My deepest sympathy to the Bretz family. Jack was a great young man. The family needs to know that UFAF loves how you stood by him, and brought all of us into your life. I only wish I could visit with you at this time. I will forever have great Face Book memories of Jack!
