Brett Aaron Abrams
Our much loved Brett was born on Sunday, May 11, 1975 (Mother’s Day), and passed away on Sunday, February, 11, 2024 at the young age of 48.
Left to mourn his loss are: Richard and Dianna; Jayson, Tanya, Gabby and Tyler; Christian, Willow, Sawyer and Walker (and Nickie); Shauna; Brant, Isabella and Ryker; Jenna and Corey; Trent, Danya and Jordan; Deb; Jodie; Dayne; Taylor, Megan, Ada and Rori; Kevin and Lisa; Curtis, Amy, Makenna and McCoy; Cassandra, Savannah, Jack, Ricky and Addalynn; Jeffery and Ashley; and many other relatives.
Brett lived most of his life in Alberta and spent 12 years living in BC; Langley, White Rock and Surrey, where he enjoyed the milder weather.
He travelled to Greece, Hawaii, Palm Springs and spent many summer vacations in Kelowna and area with family, as recently as 2023.
He was hoping to enjoy watching more Oilers games, more Blue Jays games, more of Gabby’s and Tyler’s hockey games, more vacations in Kelowna, and driving his ‘92 Mustang, but sadly this was not to be.
Brett did believe that there is something beyond death and we hope he has been reunited with our many loved ones gone before him.
We will love and miss him forever.
Interment of Brett’s ashes in his final resting place will take place at a later date.
A Celebration of Life for Brett will be held on Saturday, May 11, 2024 at the Whitemud Creek Community Centre at 1 pm.
Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or to the charity of one’s choice.
Dianne and family:
Just seeing Brett’s obituary now and I want to say how very sorry I am for for your profound loss. My son Christian shared a room in AUH with Brett, and we also also ran into him at the out patients clinic when they got transfusions. Christian was in Calgary for his stem cell transplant when Brett was about to be discharged. We were all so hopeful.
But it wasn’t meant to be. My beautiful boy was taken on March 28th, 2024 and it’s been incredibly difficult ever since, as I expect it has been with your family. There’s nothing worse than the pain of losing your son.
I remember Brett as a resilient and optimistic young man, who handled his diagnosis with courage and strength. I know Brett had been ill for about a year before we met him. Still, he gave Christian and me the hope that all would be well.
I’m so very sorry our beautiful boys had this horrible illness in common. We were all so desperately wanting them to get better and back to their normal lives. Please accept my deepest condolences on Brett’s passing.
