Condolences from Legacy.com
I am sorry to hear about Brett. He might have died loving what he was doing but I can’t help myself but to be selfish. I guess God needs all our angels first. I do want to say sorry about your loss to Brett’s family. He was a joy to have around. He helped me through some rough times and I just can’t believe he isn’t here. I mean, I don’t want to make him sound like a saint or anything but he was close to it at times. I just miss the way he made me laugh and cry all at the same time. He was a good man. I remember when I used to call him a boy all the time. Even when he came back on visits. Now, I can’t do nothing else but call him a man. I am and will always be very proud of him as all the people that have ever known him. He was a very big go achiever. He had such a beautiful smile and mind. A lot of the girls used to think he was gorgeous and all that. I think that what he had on the inside was so much better. He was so beautiful on the inside. ~ Samantha, Sabina, Ohio
Brett, you fulfilled your dream, you are and always will be a Marine. Stand tall, tell mom and dad hello and we will someday see you again. Brett always remember you are our Hero. PS: Brett, take it easy on God, I don’t know if he will think your jokes are as funny as we did. Love you always, Uncle Rod ~ Rodney Haines, Sabina, Ohio
You were always my little brother. I am so proud of you for following your dreams. I remember when you and I would talk for hours about you joining the marines. I will always remember our first trip to the ocean, the first time we met Mickey Mouse, the car rides on the way to school, and the last words you said to me before you left. Ever since we were 5 you have been my hero. My heart goes out to your family. Your mom was a mom to me too. Our moms were all we had for a long time. You will forever be in my heart. I love you bubby. ~ Kelly Crowe, Sabina, Ohio
