In loving memory of Brett
I have always been prideful and private in regards to my life and my struggles. I have struggled greatly with even typing this tribute to my first love, the father of both of my amazing children, and someone who I shared 15 years of my life with. I have been mentally preparing for this day, I have been mourning the loss of you for many years now when I first lost you to addiction. I know you tried many times, I wish I could of saved you although in my heart I know I tried. When I got the call I will never forget the rush of emotions I felt anger, sadness, relief, and sobbed until I couldn’t anymore.
Our children and I will remember you as a Dallas Cowboys fan with no filter, a comedian, with a loud laughter that was contagious and our children will know you love them because despite your addiction I know you did and they know it too. We loved you more then you’ll ever know. We’ll think of you always and will continue to love you and keep you alive within us with all of the memories we have together. I’m sorry you suffered for so long, I know that you’re now resting even though I want you here for our children.
Words cannot describe the heaviness that we feel in our hearts with the passing of our loved one. If you have any photos that you would like to contribute please private message me.
Please let’s bring more awareness to mental health and drug awareness bc to many of us are drowning and running from demons and you shouldn’t and don’t need to fight this battle alone. You’re loved, you’re still able to change your life, it’s not too late. To many of our childhood friends are dying and leaving families grieving tremendously.
Please keep my children, myself, and our families in your thoughts and prayers while we grieve the lost of not only my first love but a father, son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, and friend.
Rest peacefully Brett 9/24/85 - 4/29/2021
