Brett Michael Young

Brett Michael Young, a spirited and compassionate soul, left this world on September 18, 2025, at the age of 30. Born on November 17, 1994, in Springfield, Missouri, Brett was a beacon of laughter and ingenuity to all who knew him. He was a graduate of Spokane High School, where he first showcased his love for problem-solving and his knack for bringing joy into the lives of others.
Brett's professional journey began and continued at Russel Cellular, where his colleagues revered him not just for his work ethic but also for his ability to lighten the atmosphere with his humor. He was more than just an employee; he was a cherished team member who brought out the best in those around him. His involvement with the company went beyond his duties; he was an integral part of the community within the workplace, often volunteering for events and supporting his peers whenever the opportunity arose.
Outside of work, Brett was a true handyman. His passion for taking things apart, understanding their inner workings, and bringing them back to life was unmatched. His hands were rarely clean, often stained with the evidence of his latest project, whether it was refurbishing a piece of old furniture or fixing a neighbor's appliance. His love for tinkering was only surpassed by his desire to help others, and he was always the first to offer his skills to friends and family in need. Brett's sense of humor was as much a part of him as his toolbox. He had a joke for every occasion, and his laughter was infectious. Even in the midst of a challenging repair, he maintained his lighthearted demeanor, ensuring that those around him were smiling and at ease. His ability to crack a joke in the face of adversity was a testament to his optimistic outlook on life, a quality that endeared him to many.
As we remember Brett, we reflect on a life that, though cut tragically short, was lived with enthusiasm and love. His presence in our lives was a gift, one that we will cherish and honor in our memories. Brett's legacy is one of joy, generosity, and an unquenchable curiosity for the world around him. His absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, but the impact of his spirit will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.
We bid farewell to Brett Michael Young, a beloved son, brother, and colleague. His journey on earth has concluded, but his story will be told with fondness and admiration for generations to come. Brett, you will be deeply missed, but your laughter will echo in our hearts forever.
