On July 17th, we lost our dear Bret suddenly and unexpectedly. He collapsed at his home and was unable to be resuscitated by medical personnel. We are mourning an incredible father, husband, brother, son, nephew, cousin and friend. Bret was one of the most loving fathers to his daughters, Ivy and Daphne and they adored him completely. Bret would often be found right by his daughters’ side encouraging and comforting them. He was as good-natured as he was kind and thoughtful which made others feel comfortable and loved in his presence. He had the best humor and wit that would catch you off guard. 

At this time, we are looking to surround his wife Holly (my cousin) and daughters Ivy (6) and Daphne (3) with love and support during this incredibly difficult time. Holly is currently experiencing a high-risk pregnancy and is due in August. Any financial support you can offer at this time to honor Bret and assist his family would be so appreciated. Donations would be used for funeral expenses, upcoming medical bills, and the care of his family as they face this tragic loss.
