Brett married his long-time companion and best friend, JoLyn Marie Blechert, on October 22, 2010. Their marriage was long awaited by family and friends and was celebrated at their home beneath the big ash tree in the back yard.

He served in the U.S. Air Force Reserves. Brett worked for Great Basin Engineering for the past 33 years where he made many wonderful friendships with co-workers and clients. To his friends and clients a€" thank you all for your support.

Brett was a man who was true to his word. A handshake and a promise was all he needed. He made friends quickly and was always offering to help out his family and friends when they needed. In return, those friends and family were there for him in his time of need.
