BRETT, Jonathan. The Angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. ~ Quoted from The Angels’ Little Instruction Book
by Eileen Elias Freeman.
It is with profound sorrow that we
announce the sudden passing of our
dear son, brother, grandson, nephew,
cousin, and friend, Jonathan George
Brett, on May 18, 2012 in Quesnel,
BC at the age of 17. From the moment Jonathan entered the world on June 22, 1994 he was deeply loved. A quiet young man, Jonathan was most at home sitting
with his family, listening and laughing,
going for walks, and playing games or working on his computer. He was a master at cards, and could play his game and everyone else’s at the table at the same time. He enjoyed biking, watching movies, boating, snowboarding (even in the freezing rain), and playing chess. He felt a deep connection to animals and loved his dog Mercedes. For several years his Ouma took him twice a week to the Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Centre. His very favourite horse was called 'Red'. There were several others he rode, but each and every one was treated with the same
love and care, which meant hours of
grooming. During this last year his
mother Theresa took him to the 91Ô´´
Stable 204. His favourite horse
here was 'Ebony'. The day before he
left for Quesnel to see his grandparents, the stable owner gave him permission and encouragement to come
every day, as she trusted him around
her 29 horses. Jonathan will be remembered with much love and will be greatly missed by his brother Jordan, his mother, Theresa, and his father, Colin. He was loved by many and will be
forever remembered and missed by
his Ouma and Oupa (Kitty and Colin
Brett of Brookswood), his Papa and
Grandma (George and Susan Cooper
of Quesnel), as well as his aunts and
uncles, Ian and Ina Brett, Tom and
Rosemary Rowan, Alan Brett, Laura
and Stephen Posein, Crystal Lawrie,
his friend Blair, and his cousins,
Benjamin, Logan, David, Amalia,
Alex, Jonas, Carissa, Story, Keramia,
Mateo, Cadence, and Payton.
The Celebration of Life for Jonathan
Brett will be at 2 pm on June 4, 2012
at the Seaview Pentecostal Assembly,
14633 16th Avenue, Surrey B.C.
