Rhonda Pineda, we were childhood friends in Sterling, Il. We would call each other once in awhile to see how things were going. Brett was always a good friend. My favorite moment with Bret was when he would stop by before going to Military School. Sorry we didn't know of your funeral arrangements in time for one last farewell. Rhonda

It has been a great many years since I last had contact with Brett. He attended St. Mary's Grade School in Sterling, Illinois with many of my friends. He had an infectious smile and a great sense of humor even as a young man. I can't imagine how many more lives he touched on this Great Earth since those middle school days. Rest in Peace Brett.
