Cousin Bret was such a sweet kind and gentle man and little boy. As little kids I remember one time I didn’t have a cowboy hat and he got one for Christmas so he let me wear his when he saw that I was sad. He was an active little boy and loving, just like his Mom and Dad. On one trip to Kansas he took me down to my Great Aunt and Uncles coffeyville and taught me how to shoot a gun for the first time. One thing we always shared is we loved each other unconditionally and without judgment from either side. I’m so glad that I made it a point to spend time with him when I came earlier this year wondering if I would ever see him again. You were loved Bret. Please give a big hug to your Jeffrey, your Dad, your Grandparents and my Nana and my Daddy, Mama and sister. The only brightness in all of this is knowing that you’re not suffering like you were at the end but the selfish part of me wishes you were still here. ????❤️????❤️ Deepest condolences to the entire Timmons, Bates, Krauss families but especially to Frances, Lisa, Christina, Rachael and Robby.
