Brett L. Wikstrom, born on February 1, 1991, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully at his residence in Montoursville on January 24, 2026, at the age of 34. Brett's life was filled with love, laughter, and a dedication to family and faith that inspired all who knew him.
Brett was a man of many passions. He had a strong faith in God that guided him throughout his life. A devoted fan of sports, he cheered enthusiastically for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles. His love for music was evident in his talent for playing the guitar, bringing joy to those around him with every note.
He found solace in the simple pleasures of life, whether it was casting a line while fishing or creating laughter among friends and family. Brett was known for his infectious humor and his ability to make any gathering a joyful occasion. He cherished his family deeply, including his beloved dog Abby, and took immense pride in being the family's self-appointed pyrotechnician during Fourth of July celebrations.
Brett worked as a delivery driver for Papa John's, where he was known for his friendly demeanor. He also enjoyed his role as an amateur weatherman, sharing forecasts with anyone willing to listen.
Brett is survived by his loving wife, Cassandra H. (Bieber) Wikstrom, whom he married on May 20, 2023. He leaves behind his cherished daughter, Brianna Bieber of Montoursville; his devoted parents, Jerome M. and Constance "Connie" S. Wikstrom of Williamsport; and his brother, Charles F. Wikstrom of Williamsport. He will be dearly missed by his best friends, Tyler Williams, Ryan Williamson, and Tom McAndrew, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Lawrence and Mary Fischer, and his previous wife, Brittney (Reeder) Wikstrom.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 5, 2026, at Maneval Allen Redmond Cremation and Funeral Home, 500 W.
