I will always remember Brett's smiling face greeting people at church and at the Walk for Life. He really had a passion to help people. I remember being invited over for movie night when I was going through a hard time. My greatest sympathies go out to you Sheri as well as to your family. ✝♥

Cheri, Brett was an incredible, inspiring man. I admired him so much, and I admire you so much for your strong faith and courage. I am sure you will be reunited some day in Heaven.

Cheri, Brett is and will continue to be missed. He gave so much to the Gideons and to We Care, always upbeat and always willing to help more. At one of the second Saturday breakfasts before a prayer meeting, he shared with me the story of how you two got engaged - he was so proud of you still. His gentleness was evident to all of us who had the pleasure of working alongside him for God's glory.

I will miss my sweet cousin very much. He had a heart of gold and was a devout Christian. Brett helped our son get his first mechanical engineering position fresh out of college and we will forever be grateful. Sending hugs and prayers to his wife, Cheri, and to my aunt Shelby and cousin Marchelle. We love you all very much and will see you at Brett's memorial service in the near future.
