Her artwork not only showcased her imagination, but also her ability to capture the beauty in everyday moments a trait she treasured and shared with her family and friends. Music was another vital part of Bren’s life with her favorite tunes echoing in her home lifting spirits and uniting loved ones.  A true adventurer she reveled in exploring new places experiencing and sharing these adventures with her husband and friends. Together they all inspired each other to embrace life fully chasing laughter and creating lasting bonds. Bren had a quirky love for the unique and odd; she was known for passing out tiny ducks and cheeses to put smiles on people’s faces. She had a kind heart that radiated warmth and compassion. She expressed and showed love to everyone who crossed her path.

    I was truly shocked to see that Bre was gone. She had survived so much in her short life. Bre was a very loving and caring woman. I am so blessed to have known her and working with her in the animal foster community. I am praying for her husband, Cody and her lovely daughter, Evelynn. God bless them. Fly safe with the angels.

    I know there are no words to truly encapsulate the so many years we spent together. From meeting at Walmart, to becoming friends and spending all of 2019-2022 together almost everyday it was some of the best memories ever made. You made such an impact on people even if you didn’t always think so, I think you’d be happy to know just how many lives you touched. You were wild and unpredictable, but so kind and passionate, and I don’t think I’ll ever meet another person like you again. No matter what happened our energies always seemed to find their way back to each other, and I just wish we had gotten more time. Gods you deserved so much more time. So until we meet again in the cosmos and beyond I’ll never forget you, and I’ll make sure to bring a little extra light for you. Xoxo gossip girl.

    Bre always struck me as such a gentle soul, but strong, a good juggler of many tasks. She will be missed.



  17. Adam Avery on March 5, 2025 at 7:14 pm

    I don’t know what words to use….Bren saved me in high school, and without them I wouldn’t be a fragment of the person I am today. My heart goes out to the family, friends, and everyone who loved and will miss them.



  18. Heather on March 7, 2025 at 9:48 pm

    You felt deeper than the surface of the ground your toes stood on.

    You loved unapologetically.

    You collected happiness and expressed it in the most beautiful way.

    Your kindness was contagious.

    In a world where I can be anything, I hope I come close as I can to what you have taught me, Brenjamin.

    The admiration and inspiration you have shown me will live on forever.
