Brett was born August 2, 1972, in Guilford Co., NC to M. Jay DeVaney and Susan B. DeVaney. He was a graduate of Northwest High School and Appalachian State University where he received his BS in Business Administration. He was the business manager at DeVaney Dentistry in Oak Ridge.

Brett was a man of many talents but he was best at loving people and being loved. Those who came in contact with Brett were endeared to his gentle loving personality. There is no doubt he will truly be missed by all who knew him. Brett was a deeply dedicated daddy to his girls. He enjoyed coaching Maddie's basketball team, attending Kristin's Violin Recitals and Gymnastics classes, going on nature walks and loved to snuggle them. Always proud of their many accomplishments, he also inspired them to reach higher. He possessed a unique and witty sense of humor.

Brett is survived by his wife, Juliana Williams DeVaney of the home; children, Madelyn and Kristin DeVaney; father, M. Jay DeVaney and wife Amy Smith-DeVaney of Summerfield; mother, Susan B.
