We first met in West Hollywood at a place called the Blue Parrot. We were both in our 20's, and we became fast friends! Our friendship has lasted throughout the years, and he will always hold a very  special place in my heart!! He was a kind, loving, caring,  and sharing spirit, who had a long lasting impact on me personally ! There was only one Brett Kester, and my life is richer for knowing him, and having his friendship!! He meant more to me than I could ever express!! But he knew it! Even though I eventually moved to Texas, I never forgot his birthday! I knew he had been dealing with Cancer, but I thought he had overcome it. That's why today, July 14th, 2025, my heart is sad, and I grieve the passing of my dear, and beloved friend,  who left us way too soon in January 2025!! His beautiful spirit shined brightly in my life through the years, and for that I am forever grateful!! I've been blessed beyond all measure to have been a part of his life!! He has my love always, and I will deeply miss him!! I pray his soul is resting in the arms of God until the day  we meet again, Lord willing!! Houston

Brett was an incredible light for me and for others. We were roommates for two years and in that time I got to know his heart on a deeper level, especially during the COVID lockdown. We shared stories, laughed, and cooked (he was an incredible cook and a wonderful host). He was never one to judge or exclude; he welcomed everyone with open arms and was always willing to do favors for those he loved without ever expecting anything in return. The world lost a giant. I'll always miss you, Brett. 

My sincerest condolences for your loss. Loosing a loved one is never easy. During such a difficult time it may be hard to find comfort but I would like to share with you a beautiful promise that God makes to mankind. Acts 24:15 tells us there is a beautiful hope which men can look forward to, it says “there is going to be a resurrection.” May this promise that will soon be fulfilled give you comfort and endurance till the day you can see Brett again.
