Brett Torres

B rett Allen Torres was called home on May 22, 2020. He was born in North Platte, Nebraska, to Ray and Vicki (Vigil) Torres on April 15, 1995. He grew up in North Platte where he was baptized at Holy Spirit Catholic Church.

Brett’s pride and joy was his dog, Rawlk. They enjoyed the outdoors and loved goose hunting, bow hunting and skateboarding. Rawlk never left his side and comforted him at his time of death. He enjoyed spending time with his many friends and family around the firepit. He loved to cook and share what he had with anybody.

Brett lived life on his terms. He believed in respect and kindness for all. He stood strong for what he believed was right. He would hold you over the troubled waters while he stood under it.

Brett had a piercing smile, amazing sense of humor and an infectious laugh that will continue to shine in the skies of Heaven. He is now proud to be God’s warrior.

Brett leaves behind his family which includes his mother and stepfather, Vicki and Dan Czech; father, Ray Torres, and fiancé, Dana Scott; brothers, Tylor (Kendra) Torres and Zachry Torres; step siblings, Corey, Summer, and Cortney Scott; and grandparents, Dave (Pat) Vigil, Janet (Doyle) McIntosh, Pete and Deloris Torres.
