Publish in a newspaper
Brett was known for his passion for his work in the HVAC industry, where he excelled as a business owner and a gifted HVAC technician at K&B HVAC Services, LLC, a business he and his business partner and lifelong friend Keith H Hornsby opened in 2012.
Brett attended school in Saudi Arabia before relocating to Seaford DE where he attended Seaford Public Schools before spending 4 years and completing the HVAC program at Sussex Tech. During his time in Saudi Arabia he enjoyed his "Buddy Boys" group of friends and together they enjoyed skateboarding, playing outdoors and snorkeling in the Red Sea. Brett had a huge heart for animals and he enjoyed all types of music. He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Brett will be fondly remembered by those who knew him, especially his loving wife of almost 10 years, Karyn Ann Elkington, his son, Damien Elliott, his dear mother, Karen Elkington, and his loyal brother and best friend, Michael Elkington and wife, Audra, and his loving sisters, Kelly Elkington Wheeler and husband, Douglas, Jamie Elkington Nicholls, and Ashley Elkington Hatch and husband Jason. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, and a host of close friends and business associates. His dedication to his family, friends, and career was evident in all that he did.
In addition to his father, Brett was preceded in death by a son, Brett Wade Elkington, Jr. and an infant sister, Mandy.

Brett wade Elkington is my uncle and I miss him a lot. I can´t believe he is really gone and I know he loved everyone in his family. I wish you were still here my favorite uncle. We would play the game of life and risk. When we played all together with my grandpa I. Kent Elkington, his brother Michael Elkington, and his son my cousin Dylan Elkington. When it was my uncle's turn ( uncle Brett) I did his dirty work for defending his territory´s by rolling 6 every time. I am going to miss my uncle Brett and I know everyone in the family will miss him too.
