Brett is known to be a kind, loving, and positive person who liked everyone. He was a rock for his family and many friends and held tightly to his faith. He and his family enjoyed the outdoors- often going on hiking trips, kayaking, and many other fun outdoor activities. Brett was an avid traveler as well, having lived in Japan, and traveling to Canada, Moldova, and to New York with his family to see the Broadway show Annie. Wife Krista affectionately says, she’d “never met a man like him.”
