Brett graduated from Independence High School with honors and was planning to finish his Associate Degree this fall. Brett was a special person who loved like none other. He enjoyed playing basketball and spending time with his large, close family who celebrated him and all of his accomplishments throughout his life. He had a strong work ethic and a spirit of excellence. Brett always gave his best. He genuinely loved and valued others. His beautiful heart will be dearly missed.

As a child, Brett received Christ as his Savior. He attended Camp Cowen (church camp) throughout his childhood and adolescence which had a huge spiritual impact. As a young adult he knew the importance of salvation and this past summer confirmed his relationship with Christ.
