This was in my local newspaper. Numbers and address have been removed.

A family statement reads: Everybody that was associated with him was very fortunate, Brett was always there to lend a helping hand. He will be truly missed by all who were touched by him. He was full of more love than any one person could ask for. Brett was a true role model for his brother, Ryan. Ryan always looked to Brett for guidance, and will miss him more than words could ever express. Born in XXXXXXXXXXXX on Aug. 15, 1984, he was the son of Jeffrey and Edith. He is survived by his father and stepmother, Jeffrey and Colleen; his mother, Edith; a sister, Kristy and husband, Andrew; two brothers, Ryan and his brother and godson, Blake; paternal grandparents, Howard and Margaret; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins; and many many friends.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at St. Mary’s. Memorial contributions may be made to the Brett Hunt Memorial Fund.

Its really good and beautiful. But it fails to mention how he died. It fails to mention that he was with his frat brothers. It fails to say he was hallucinating because he was high on mushrooms when he hung himself. He is dead and that is horirble in and of itself. I feel terrible that his family has to go through this. And his friends and people he was close to. Anyone that young dying is a terrible thing. But I’m sorry, I’m mad at him. Just like I’m mad at Matt for dying. They weren’t depressed, which is confusing as it is. Brett was using mushrooms. And I know I should be sad and thinking of what a great guy he was, but I’m mad! He was smarter than that. I thought he would have known. I thought Matt would have been smarter too. Its proven; drugs do messed up things to your mind and your body. So I really don’t understand why people constantly flood their bodies with them. Honor Student, role model to his godson, full of love, lend a helping hand. I’m so glad he was so wonderful, I truly am. But why would he do something like that? How could such a bright loving boy be such an idiot? His obit seems fake to me. Like they are trying to make a perfect angel out of a kid who messed up bad. Who messed up so bad, he’s dead now.
I can’t breathe. I’m so mad and I’m so hurt. I can’t breathe.
