He had his best times at family functions watching his family love each other and make memories together. He never turned down a round of golf, a long laugh, or a good beer. He would want you to do the same to remember him. Brett is most remembered by his ability to connect with those he cared about and to always find a way to make them smile.

A celebration of his life will be held at 1:00 pm Saturday, March 20th at Sedgefield Presbyterian Church at 4216 Wayne Rd in Greensboro. Due to the pandemic, there will be a limited number of people allowed inside at one time. Out of respect for Brett and his family, we ask that you adhere to all social distancing guidelines. Visitation will last from 1 pm-4 pm. We know that there are many of you who would like to attend. To allow this, we have extended visitation hours and we ask that you please flow through and do not linger inside. While we want everyone to have their time of remembrance if you are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms or have been around someone that is experiencing symptoms do not come.
