I was fortunate enough to know Brett on many different levels. He is a dedicated husband and father. Nothing is more important to him than his family. He and Morena have raised a wonderful family together. Like Matt Scoll said, Brett will never be forgotten.

A great example of a loving father, husband, Priesthood holder and a friend to many. A priviledge to have been able to know and serve with Brett. He will be missed. Prayers are with his family.
