Brett AKA Ferg 🤍
It was once written that the value of a person’s life is directly related to the number of people they positively affect. For my sweet friend Brett Aka Ferg- that number is far greater than infinite.Â
As cliche as it is- I really do feel that its not just the time you get with the people in our lives- it’s the quality in that time. I am so blessed by the life-llong friendship that was created in the short time I knew Brett!.Â
Without a single doubt- he was one of the greatest friends I've ever had – and likely ever will. He was the most down to earth person you’ll ever meet. He just had this fundamental and abiding respect for all people– regardless of your age, race or  background...he immediately saw the best in you. Always. He could always make me laugh even in the times I couldn't crack a smile! The most wonderful thing about him was his humor. Especially at the most inappropriate times. His one liners deserved their very own book....Maybe their own awards. His ability to come up with quick witted responses was untouchable!Â
No matter the situation, circumstances or surroundings- you could count on Brett to always cheer you up...and he had a beautiful way of  making you see that you should never take life too seriously. I am so proud to say that I will now carry that reminder with me for the rest of my life bc of him! Life is too short to let anything or anyone make you unhappy.
He never let another man down. He fulfilled every obligation he ever undertook. His word was his bond, and everyone knew it. I never heard him utter a lie, nor intentionally deceive. He was self-made and self-reliant.
He had a quiet dignity, respecting himself the way he respected others. Another thing that astounds me (but does not surprise me) is that he never had one single moment of self-pity- He accepted who he was & whatever path he choose to travel- he choose it Bc that's what he wanted! Another persons approval was irrelevant. Small talk was irrelevant. He accepted who he was & nothing else mattered. Bc of this- he was happy. He didn't just survive the years- he lived them! If the majority of us (myself included) had just one-tenth of the courage and the resolve that he had- life would be so much sweeter.
The generosity he expressed consistently is heartwarming. He was a giver. He would have given you the shirt off his back & would only ask that you, one day do the same for someone else. He was so selfless & was always thinking of others.
In a true testament to his character – a remarkable man.
I haven’t quite come to terms with the fact that I will never hear his voice, receive a message from or see him again. I am sure I share that with many others. The day he passed was the day we truly lost one of the greatest champions that will ever exist.
Let us all – just do as he did- try to make the world a better place- it's really quite simple. Be a good person, love with all you have, don't allow hate into your heart, forgive & forget & just simply be happy.Â
The world is a better place because he lived in it! Life is a beautiful cycle! Â Regardless of your beliefs in the afterlife, this much I can assure you: He remains alive and well. His joyful personality, his sweet soul & his selfless heart will live within me every second of everyday.
Thank you Brett, for being the most incredible, loyal friend I could've ever asked for. Thank you for making me want to make the world a better place and for showing me the path to do so. Thank you for making sure that Kase & I were always content & always ensuring we never went without! Thank you for the sense of peace you gave us when we needed it the most. You always spoke so highly of me & always reminded me of my strength in my moments of weakness! Â Out of all the billions of people in the world, I was given you as a friend- a true friend- & for that I will forever be grateful!Â
I'll miss you more than I can ever say. I will miss the light in your eyes when you seen Kase after a long day at work.  I will miss your trademark cowboy boots (usually paired with neon colored gym shorts) your bright eyes, your contagious smile & the way you lit up a room when you entered it. I will miss your voice, the knock on my door & the sound of your laugh. Mostly, I will just miss you. I will ensure that Kase will always know how much you adored & loved him. Bc of you we will always know that some of the greatest things we  will ever witness in life- can't be seen with an eye- but can always be felt with the heart.
I will always be proud to call you my friend & will always consider myself the lucky one for having crossed paths with you!Â
Time waits for no one. Today is a gift, yesterday was history & tomorrow will always be a mystery.
With all my love, Always
