Brett Anderson
Donate Now
Family and friends have established this memorial fund in Brett's honor. The funds raised here will support the families and save the lives of children and young people with heart rhythm abnormalities and help raise awareness of SADS conditions around the world.
On December 19, 2009, Brett Ivan Anderson died unexpectedly at his mother’s home near Winterset, Iowa. He had just driven from his home in Wichita, Kansas the previous evening in anticipation of spending the Christmas holidays with family and friends. After telling his mother “it’s good to be home”, he fell asleep on the couch. Sometime during the night Brett went home to be with the Lord. The autopsy results were “probable cardiac arrhythmia”. Brett had shown no signs or symptoms of heart problems: he had never experienced a seizure or fainting spell.
Brett was born July 19, 1985. He lived a full and active life. Brett enjoyed all sports; however, soccer was his true passion. He played soccer from kindergarten through college. He also enjoyed reading, drawing, listening to music and playing his guitar. He loved dogs, the ones he owned and any others.
Brett was a 2003 graduate of Winterset High School, in 2007 he earned his B.A. in Athletic Training from Central College in Pella, IA, and in 2009 received his Masters Degree in Kinesiology from the University of Wyoming in Laramie. Summer jobs during his college years included U-12 Girls Soccer Coach for Next Level Sports in St Paul, Minnesota and Certified Athletic Trainer internships with the Des Moines Menace and the Arizona Cardinals. Following college, Brett worked as Assistant Athletic Trainer for Track and Field at Wichita State University in Wichita.
Although he accomplished many things during his short life, Brett most valued the relationships he maintained with his family and friends. Brett’s gravestone reads “We live in order to change someone else’s life.” In memory of Brett, his family is participating in the 2011 Climb to Conquer SADS. All proceeds will go to the SADS Foundation for research, education and awareness regarding sudden death syndromes.
