Brett Douglas Meredith

after a short battle with cancer.

Born to Robert and Roberta Meredith on February 8, 1964 in New Westminster, he graduated from

Centennial High School in 1982 and later attended SFU’s Professional Development Program. Receiving a

Masters of Education, Brett became a secondary English teacher in Burnaby for 17 years. He taught at

Burnaby Mountain, Burnaby North and for the last five years, loved teaching at Alpha Secondary with his

faithful dog Sally by his side. Sponsoring a wide variety of student and school initiatives, Brett co chaired

the grad council and was actively engaged in the culture of the school. He always found ways to reach out

to students by actively participating in the intramural program, after school basketball league and

sponsoring the badminton teams. He was relentless in his pursuit to give back to the Alpha community in

every aspect possible with the motivation of helping students.

Beloved husband of Angie for 27 years and devoted father to Liam, the family travelled extensively and

settled in East Vancouver. Brett had an appreciation and an appetite for life and faced all challenges

undaunted. His abundant generosity and absolute willingness to help others distinguished him in the heart

of students, family and friends. Brett’s loyalty, laughter and love of music will endure forever in our

memories.

Brett is survived by his wife Angie; son Liam; his parents Robert and Roberta Meredith; sister Leslie (Tom);

brother Scott (Debbie); sister-in-laws, Toni (Don) and Franca (Joe) and nieces and nephews, Christina,

Rebecca, Eric, Alan, Megan, Marina, Samuel and Jacob. He also leaves behind many precious friends.
