Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryBRETT TYLER BOURNE January 18, 1998 - June 2, 2015 Winnipeg, Manitoba It is with the utmost sadness and with immense love that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of our beloved son, brother, and dear friend. Brett is survived by his mother Jamie lee Bourne, his father Carl Nolte and his older brother Montana James Bourne, and countless friends and family. He touched everyone's life he met in one way or another with his amazing charm and smile! Brett had a beautiful spirit, which remained selfless and unconditional to those lives he touched. We are forever blessed to have had the honor of being in your presence, and in your heart, and you, Brett, will remain forever in our hearts for eternity. For those of us fortunate enough to have truly known Brett, knew he loved the Military, and one day wanted to become part of the Canadian military if possible. He was a part of the Minto Armories Air Cadet program where he got to experience so many adventures. Brett loved and played football both for the Valour Patriots and Kelvin High School Junior Football team. As a little boy Brett was a very active member of the Winnipeg Model railroad club and never missed a Thursday or Tuesday night if possible, to hang out with the old fellows, learning about the HO scale trains at GOOCH'S and setting up track...Those were such great days.... Brett truly was a gentle soul, but beware, for somewhere there was a joke or a prank about to be unfolding.. He loved to laugh and his smile will shine on forever....Oh his contagious smile. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff at Kelvin High school, and the medical team for all their efforts. Goodbyes are not forever Goodbyes are not the end they simply mean I will miss you Until we meet again Service will be held on Tuesday, June 9, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at Westwood Community Church, with viewing one hour prior to the service. Private cremation at Chapel Lawn. For those who wish to sign the online Guest Book please visit our website. Chapel Lawn www.chapellawn.ca 204-885-9715

Brett will be remembered as an amazing man, and better yet a great soul and son. We all love and miss him, but I can't begin to imagine what you're dealing with Jamie. You a strong woman and we will all push threw this together! He was a golden heart and he was the best he could ever be. I will never forget Brett coming to my house every morning 2 summers ago to hang out with me. I will never forget the countless times Brett has been there for me when I felt nothing was ever gonna be okay. Are all the stories me and him would used to make up, sitting down and just creating a random story as we keep it moving. His amazing cooking, he could cook up a wonderful breakfast. His eggs were great! My prayers goes out to you, and Montana! <3 - Posted by: Shaynna Kelli Andrew (Bretts close friend) on: Jun 09, 2015

Our family is currently grieving and still in shock over the terrible news of Brett's untimely and tragic death. Brett had attended our in-home Family Daycare in Wolseley when he was about 11 years old. Israel was best friends with both Mike Welbers & Brett whom he had met in the community. All three loved spending time together and often hung out at the very active Wolseley Community Center. Brett had also attended at least one of Israel's Birthday Parties, so we have pictures and videos of him having a fun time with our son and other friends. Brett was a great kid with lots of wisdom, intelligence, a wonderful sense of humor, and so much potential for living out a beautiful life! We all have fond memories of him and are deeply saddened at the news of his passing. This is truly a great loss to many who knew him. We mourne with you, Jamie... Our most Sincere Condolences go to you, Jamie & family - we will miss Brett, but we will never forget him! Praying for you and your family in this hour of Sorrow... Sylviane, for the 3 of us (PS. Unfortunately, Grant & I will not be able to attend Brett's Funeral, as Grant will be at work with our vehicle during that time. However, it is possible that Israel may take the bus there, but I cannot confirm this.) - Posted by: Sylviane, Grant & Israel Kahane (Brett was one of Israel's best friends from the time we lived in Wolseley. He also had attended our ) on: Jun 08, 2015

I ask for God's blessings for you Jamie and Montana.

My deepest condolences to Brett's Mom Jamie, his brother Montana and to Brett's entire family. My heart sunk when I saw Brett's picture in the paper. I was devastated. So tragic and much too young, Brett had a life of promise ahead. He was a good young man. RIP Brett You touched an awful lot of lives in your time on Earth. Sadly missed Craig - Posted by: Craig Cottrell () on: Jun 06, 2015

My deepest condolences to you all. My heart is heavy, Brett could have been my grandson, age, high school football etc. The dreams and hopes we have for our young ones, Brett's cut short so needlessly. I will be praying that God gives you strength, peace, whatever you need to get you through this sad time. - Posted by: J. Wendy Browne (None) on: Jun 06, 2015

I am so sorry for your loss I do not know the pain you are going through tragic and senseless loss I wish you all the respect and love any one can hope to give to Brett's Mom Dad and Brother. May he rest in peace - Posted by: Donna Leonard (former foster family of Jamie) on: Jun 06, 2015

Such a totally senseless and tragic thing to have happen to your son and your family. I lost my daughter to cancer 20 years ago, so I can relate to the loss, but not the senselessness of this tragedy. May God bless you and help you get through the dark days, which never end, but do get easier with time. - Posted by: Joan Knowles () on: Jun 06, 2015
