A true friend. I could call needing help and no matter what was going on Bret would be there.
Bret seemed to do everything he could for his boys. He will be missed, but he truly gave of himself for his boys. For that he will be blessed throughout eternity. My thoughts and prayers are with the Olsen family.
I was one of Brady’s teachers at Cordley in 4th-6th grade. I had many parent meetings with Bret, a very involved dad, which is pretty rare. Anytime we talked, his love and care for his boys was obvious. I live in the Prairie Park neighborhood, so our hearts broke for your family, when you lost Bryce. How very happy Bret & Bryce must be to see each other now! Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers, not just now, during this most difficult time, but in the months to come as well.
