I just found out about the passing of Brett.  I was a friend of Brett's at Hinsdale South High School.  He was a funny man...  My condolences go out to the family and friends of Brett.  Pam Mitchell Youngs

I can’t believe it’s been a year . I miss you and all our crazy conversations, even all your funny sarcasm.  All of us miss you on friends date night. It will never be the same without you. RIP my sweet friend ❣️

I am so thankful to say Brett was my friend. His personality and sarcasm was a force to be reckoned with.  Enjoyed every minute. My condolences to the family, Brett was a stand up guy. RIP my friend, you were so loved. 

I worked for Brett at California Colors. he was a great guy, who taught me a lot about screen printing. We were always goofing around. He called me "G". so I started calling him "big G". It stuck. 
      Sorry you are leaving us too early. Too soon, big G , too soon. 

My deepest sympathies to Brett's family.  We met at Lincoln College.  He had a Sunday night poker game in his dorm room.  We used to hang out all the time at school together.  We stayed in contact and went on many adventures until they moved to CA.  I went to visit them for a week.  I got to meet Casy and Brett and I went on a full-day fishing trip with Greg.  Brett and I have stayed in touch over the years.  We liked to share the news with each other as we grew older. I spoke to him after his last two surgeries.  I was planning to visit this summer to show him my latest surgery.  I didn't get a chance to tell him about it.  I'm sorry I didn't know how bad his situation had become.  I will always love him like a big brother!

Mike and I along with our family want to send our deepest condolences to his mom, sisters and daughter Casey and family.

Mike went to grade school with Brett and I met him when I started dating Mike.  Let me tell you, Brett was a force to be reckoned with!  He was funny and full of life.  He cared deeply for those he loved.  Years and distance never made the friendship feel strained.  We always picked back up where we all left off.  His laugh and his sparkle will be missed.  

With love,
Mike, Kathy, Mike Jr. & Meaghan Knox

My heartfelt loving condolences to Brett’s family and many loved ones.  Although I don’t remember ever visiting with Brett, I did feel I knew him through weekly phone visits with his mother, Dossie.  He had a deep love for family and his outings with his mother were fondly remembered by her whether it was a lunch outing or trip for groceries.  And Brett’s love and  happiness with his family of mother, daughter and family, and grandson  also included  that of his three dogs and his fondness for them.  He will be remembered with great love by many.

I will miss Brett, he and I talked about everything.  He always said he could tell me anything and I never judged him. He was an extremely unique man. 

Brett has been my steadfast friend since we met in the mid 90s. His conversation,  influence and presence will be sorely missed. Travel well, my friend. Jake
