We knew Brett since he was a baby. We had many wonderful holidays spent with him and his family. Brett was always loving,kind and very caring. We will miss him very much but we know he is with his grandparents  and at peace. 

As I sit here I realize there are way too many stories I could tell about Brett.  I can’t just choose one.  So what I will say is Brett was a loyal friend. Someone you could trust to be there in the hard times.  He was always ready with a story or comment to make you laugh.  We disagreed about Tay Tay but I will miss hearing him play her music over and over.  Brett I will miss you is an understatement. You will always have a special place in my heart.  Be at peace my friend.

We don’t get to pick when or how we leave this earth but we do get to pick how we live it. Living life has fully as you did in touching so many lives- it is easy to see that you lived life to its fullest.  Peace be with you and with those that love you.  

Forever in our hearts!

It was a joy and a privilege to know Brett for such a long time. Since we were kids in school together, I’ve always been able to count on him for friendship, support, advice, and kindness. He was a wonderful person and I’m so grateful for time we had together. The friendships that he forged are a testament to his character, and his memory will live on. Thank you for everything Brett.

The  Tafoya Family send love and condolences  to  your family. We will miss Brett  Jr.

I have so many incredible memories with Brett that it’s hard to narrow down into single places or events. A true lifelong friend, someone I navigated high school, college, and my entire adult life with. Countless math classes I would’ve failed without him staying up late to tutor me. He was by my side for too many joyous occasions to count: UNR basketball games, World Cup soccer matches, concerts, movies, holidays and vacations. Most of all, he was always there when I needed him. Any time I needed help paying rent, a place to live, a shoulder to cry on or a pick me up, I could always count on Brett. I wasn’t just lucky to have known him, but am privileged to be able to call him one of the best friends I could’ve ever asked for. I’ll never forget you and I’ll always love you, Brett. Shine on you crazy diamond.
