I didn't know you Brett but you sat behind our family in church. I still smile about the morning in church when we were to greet the people around us. My brother in law greeter my sister with a kiss and then turned around to shake your hand and you advised him you were not excepting a kiss from him. Lol you are a funny guy. we still laugh about that. You are with Jesus now and I am sure you are a blessing in heaven and a funny guy there as well. God keep your family through their great lose.

Brett was a great friend and co worker for many years at sysco. We shared many laughs through those years. He was always happy and had a belly laugh like no other. The true meaning of a hard working family man who I will dearly miss. Our thoughts go out to the entire Simmons family. Be rest assured our night starry sky will be that much brighter because he is now a part of it. Sleep well my dear friend. Until we meet again.

Brett always brought a smile to my face and sunshine to my heart- he was a character but, that's what made him so special. He dearly loved his family and was always proud to have them by his side. He never hesitated to offer a helping hand. He will be fondly missed.
