Brett Richard Barlow

Brett is my cousin, and is only 3 mos older than me. We grew up in the same neighborhood experienced scouting and all of those fun things together. Brett was a great friend and always made our adventures even better with his amazing humor.

Brett was like a brother to me. I loved him very much. My memories were like others of his humor and wit. Brett had the best way to make something that was heavy feel light. One of the last conversations we had I asked him if he had tried clear protein because it might be easier to digest.
“Linda, it’s not going to cure cancer.”
I have 101 images of Brett on my current phone… I cherish every single one!! I will try to add other pictures from other devices when I gather them. I love each of you endlessly and forever.
I lost another best friend about 5 years ago. It struck me then as it does now. I truly believe that friends can be friends forever!!!

My favorite memories of Brett of course all come from our many many camping trips our families went on together. He was always rocking the coolest BYU gear, and always would be my number 1 guy to talk byu sports with during camping trips. He loved me so much and always cared to know what was going on in my life. I was so blessed to have Brett in my life. He will be deeply missed

I met Brett when a friend invited me to the BYU tailgate. Brett and I had been twitter friends for some time, but had never met in person. We instantly became friends. Brett has a way of making people feel welcome, comfortable, and loved. I know I only saw Brett a few times a year, but I will miss seeing him. He's so witty and kind. I definitely love Brett and am mourning for his family at this time.

I don't think Brett would mind me sharing of a time when we were on a camping/golfing outing in Green River. Brett disappeared into the bushes for awhile when nature called. Since we didn't have any toilet paper with us, Brett came back to the golf cart missing one article of clothing. You can use your imagination to determine how he used that item of clothing.

I love you Brett.

I’ve been out to Utah 5x over the past decade for some BYU games. The 1st year I meet a group of tailgaters whom I’ve stayed in contact with and Brett was one of those. He always welcomed me with a handshake and a big smile. I’ll remember him as someone who always maintained eye contact when talking (rare these days), his keen sense of style, and his love for soccer.
Gone but not forgotten and my condolences to his family.

I have so many good memories with Brett. We tailgated most BYU games together. We sat by each other for games. Many hours spent making fun of ourselves and people around us. He was very sarcastic and quick witted.

I saw first hand Brett do kind things for others. Many examples of how he'd hear someone mention something and he'd show up with it for them. I have a mug, a jacket and a blanket he gifted me that I'll always be grateful for. Thanks for the laughs my friend.

You will be missed. Love and condolences to your family and friends.

I'm so sad to hear Brett has 'graduated' from his life. May he be free of the pain. He was a friend to so many and could lighten the mood with his witty humor. My thoughts and prayers are with all his family and those who were blessed to associate with him. If he were here I'm sure he'd crack an appropriate (okay, maybe not so appropriate) joke to help others feel a reprieve from their own sorrow and pain. May his family and friends cherish the many memories they have with Brett. Much love to all.
