Brett Joseph Everett was born on Sept. 7, 1987 in Orange, CA and passed away on May 16, 2023 in Colton, CA. Brett came into this world filled with love. He was a free, passionate spirit, but it was his love for others, for adventure, and for the world that served as the common thread throughout his life.
He loved his Lord and Savior. Brett was a devout Christian and shared his walk in faith and his deep-rooted relationship with God with anyone who would listen.
He loved his parents, Bruce and Jean, who adopted him and his identical twin brother Bradley, and brought them home at five weeks old. These baby boys were the answer to their prayer to become parents.
He loved his twin brother. The two were kindred spirits and had an uncanny connection that only twins can share.
He loved his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and his cousins. He loved the time spent with family, those near and far.
He loved his friends. His big heart and magnetic, outgoing personality drew people to him. Brett had many friends from many walks of life. He would give the shirt off his back – and anything else – if he thought someone needed it more than he did.
He loved music. Blessed with a God-given musical talent, Brett had a beautiful voice and with just a few lessons, he played keyboard, drums, and guitar. He and Bradly spent a lot of time playing music with a band they formed. Brett quickly learned to play guitar just so he could participate in a Talent Contest in Middle School.
He loved sports and the outdoors. With his slight build and agility, Brett was quite the athlete and played soccer, baseball, football, tennis, and karate. He also loved skate boarding, bicycling, and motorcycle riding. He was a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout, making Star Rank.
Brett tragically passed in a bicycle accident, but love was still at the forefront of his death. He was an organ donor and by giving of himself, he saved five lives. It is his love that will forever be remembered.
Brett is survived by: his parents, Bruce and Jean Everett, Cedar Hill, TN; his twin brother Bradley Everett, Cedar Hill, TN; his niece Ava Everett, Redlands, CA; his uncles and aunts, Dennis (Pattie) Everett, Mt. Juliet, TN; Kenneth Everett and Becky Kujawa, Ashely, IL; Jamie (Carleen) Herndon, Cedar Hill, TN; Carolyn Daye Allander, Kaelowna, BC, Canada. He is preceded in death by paternal grandparents Clair & Irene Everett, maternal grandmother Rene Bowzer, and his cousin Brock Everett Haley.
A graveside service will be held on Sun, Aug, 27th at Bellwood Cemetery in Adams, TN at 2 p.m. with Pastor Rebekah Votral officiating.
