Brett Richard Kenneth Wilson

Brett was born on January 18, 1997 to Rick and Treena Wilson and was the older brother to Hannah. He was an incredibly generous, passionate, and kind soul.

He was diagnosed with epilepsy at a young age but this never stopped him from living life. He had a joyful “go with the flow” spirit and enjoyed activities like rowing, skiing, playing games with friends and bringing laughter to everyone around him.

Brett had a deep love for learning and was a self-proclaimed history buff. He was an avid political debater and often enjoyed discussing current events with his friends and family. After high school, Brett took a year abroad in Germany to attend Bodenseehof Bible College where he made his forever lifelong friends and went on many unforgettable adventures. While in Germany his passion for History and Political Science had been ignited. He later returned home to Vancouver to attend TWU where he obtained a Major in History and Minor in Political Science. While there, he became avidly involved in the Conservative club--quickly rising as their President. This opportunity led him to various summer internships working for MPs all over BC. It is because of his great work at school and during the summers that he was blessed to join a very prestigious internship in Ottawa; where he went on to do many great things for the Conservative Party. The most important being his advocacy for ALS where he was awarded the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. This internship led him to Prince George where he continued living his dream--working in the political world under the leadership of Todd Doherty. Brett continued his advocacy efforts for ALS where he started his #raceto338 campaign in hopes to unite the members of parliament to end ALS in honour of his father.

Brett was an active member of College Heights Baptist Church and was a strong Christian.

He will be deeply missed by his family and friends. Brett was an incredible son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. Brett was a bright light and will be remembered for his kind heart, compassionate soul, a zest for life that was contagious and most of all his infectious smile.

Brett is predeceased by his dad Rick Wilson who passed November 5th 2022.

A Celebration of life will be held on August 26, 2023 at 1:00 pm at College Heights Baptist Church with a reception to follow.
