Brett's favorite pastimes were hunting, fishing, old muscle cars, like his beloved '79 Chevy Camero, sports, UT football and 70's hard rock. He spent most of his work life in the auto parts business, with the last fifteen years being at Wolfchase Toyota, where he will be sorely missed. He spent most of his life in Memphis, with a brief stay in Southern California. While there, he missed the southern great outdoors and his favorite fishing hole.
