Todson Brett Schweizer

Todson Brett Schweizer, passed away on May 13, 2026 at the age of 52. Brett was born in Hanover, New Hampshire, and lived a life defined by kindness, dedication, selflessness and generosity. A devoted husband, father, brother, and friend, Brett touched countless lives and enriched the hearts of all who knew him.

He spent his early years in Hanover, where he developed a love for adventure, friendship, and the outdoors. His summers at Cape Cod Sea Camps created lifelong memories that remained important to him throughout his life.

He attended The Taft School, in Watertown CT where he distinguished himself as an athlete in soccer, ice hockey, and lacrosse. His competitive spirit, discipline, and commitment to excellence were developed at an early age. He lived and exemplified these values throughout his life. Following Taft, Brett attended Hamilton College, where he spent four years building friendships while preparing for life after college.

In 1995, Brett moved to Boston and began his professional career with Fidelity Investments. A year later, he met the love of his life, Samantha. After their first date in 1996, they were rarely ever apart. Their partnership was built on unwavering love, friendship, and devotion, and they were married in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2000.

Throughout his career in financial services, Brett earned the respect of colleagues and clients alike. Through his professional expertise he helped numerous clients achieve their financial goals. He earned his Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation in 2019, adding to the expertise he had already attained. He spent the final years of his career with Vanguard, where he continued to make meaningful impact on all those he touched.

Outside of work, Brett was an avid runner and passionate advocate for health and fitness. He was a risk taker. He constantly challenged himself to reach new goals and push his physical limits. A 30 mile run through a forest on narrow, rocky, pathways? Hard to imagine. His determination, and perseverance were remarkable, inspiring those around him to strive for their own personal best. Whether pursuing a difficult run, tackling a new challenge, or supporting a loved one, Brett approached life with focus, energy, and purpose.

Above all else, Brett cherished his family. He was a loving husband to Samantha and a devoted father to Payson and Jake, who were the pride and joy of his life. He treasured every moment spent with his family and found his greatest happiness watching his children grow, guiding them with love, encouragement, and example. He was also a caring brother and loyal friend whose warmth, generosity, sense of humor, and unwavering support created a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Brett was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Sue Schweizer. He is survived by his beloved wife, Samantha; his daughter, Payson; his son, Jake; his father, Tod; his sisters, Wendy and Kristin; his brother in law Pat; his nieces and nephew, Britta (husband Anthony, sons William and Crew), Chloe (husband Dillan), and Doc; his father in law Bob; his mother in law Nancy; his sister in law Lisa and his loyal furry best friend, Mollie.
