Help Us Channel Our Love for Brett into Action
From Brett with love funds and develops initiatives that unite people, provide tools for growth, and inspire meaningful achievement. Founded in honor of Brett Austin Liddle, we turn ideas into action—building opportunities for growth, collaboration, and impact. Our work is driven by the belief that empowered people change the world.
We lost Brett on August 29, 2024 to a rare form of meningitis. At the time, he was living away from home for the first time. He was working at his first job, paying bills for the first time, and discovering what it meant to be an adult. Brett was spreading his wings, and he was happy.
To some people, Brett may appear to have been a late bloomer who lived a simple life, but to those of us blessed to have had Brett in our lives, we know he was an amazing young man who persevered and overcame significant challenges. He had a huge heart and passionately loved his family and friends. His life is one to emulate.
And so, in honor of his inner toughness, loud presence, and big-spirited personality, we find ways to help people connect, create opportunities for people to grow, and help them find ways to spread their wings.
