 Brett D. Townley left our earthly world suddenly on Thursday.
Brett leaves behind his father, Raymond Townley of Baldwinsville, his mother, Patricia Townley of Liverpool, brother Joel (Melanie) Townley, nephew Alexander of Columbia, SC, several aunts, uncles, cousins. His love Sara Harrington, his associates Doug Russell and Miles Anthony.
Brett graduated from Baldwinsville High School and Oswego College majoring as a sports commentator. Brett loved playing and coaching sports. He was a walking encyclopedia on sports.

He took care of the New York State Troopers, Encon, Forest Rangers, IBEW & CWA. Brett achieved the Million Dollar Round Table early in his career.
Everyone thought the world of Brett.

Sara,words cant describe the hurt I feel for you right now. It breaks my heart to see you so hurt and confused. I know you can get through this because you are one of the strongest people I know. I love you. "It is better to have loved and lost then to never loved"
Brett- RIP and Thank you for showing Sara what it is to love and be loved.
Ray, Pat, and Joel, My Deepset sympathy goes out to you and your family. You are such wonderful people and don't deserve to have such a tragedy hit you so suddenly. Brett was such a great guy and just from the tribute he had you know he was loved. He did such wonderful things for so many people including those kids.
PS.. Ray Back rubs on me anytime.

Raymond, Pat and Joel,
There aren't enough words in the english language to descibe what you must be going through, nor enough to describle What those of us that only knew Brett from a far are experiencing.
I only had the pleasure of knowing Brett for the past couple of years, and please know it was a true PLEASURE.
I only knew Brett through playing softball on Sunday's with him. When I joined the team, Brett was one of the first to make me feel at home. I felt like I played wiht him for 20 years. He always tried to lift up the team when we were down, and tried even harder to boost us up when we did something right.
The more I heard about Brett on Monday night, I more I wished that I knew him like you did.
Keep his memories close, and know he truly touched the hearts of all young and old, and made his newest friends (like me) feel like his oldest and dearest friends.
May God and your memories try to provide comfort in this time.
I only knew him from 2 years, but I am glad to have had the pleasure.

Townley family,Sara,Doug,and Miles
Brett will be missed by so many people. He was a great guy who had many clients that became friends. I was lucky enough to be one of those friends. Through me, Brett became friends with my family. Ironically, we shared the same last name. We will all miss him. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Words cannot express our deepest sympathy to the Townley family and all of his nearest & dearest. Brett has taken care of our financials since 2002 and we enjoyed chatting with him when he came for his yearly visit. Our two sons always had to get in on the conversation and loved to talk hockey and lacrosse with him. He will be greatly missed to say the least. In this time of loss, many thoughts are with you Brett & your family. God bless you.

My husband bill was a client of Brett's in roch.

Sara,
I am so sorry for your loss. I wished there were magic words that could help the pain you're feeling or heal your heart. So far I haven't found them.
You were so strong on Monday, I just don't know how you did it. You must be one incredible lady.
It's sad to say that I didn't know Brett for very long, but the stories that were shared on Monday, shows what a loss this really is.
The more I heard the more I wished that I had known him better.
Please take comfort in the memories that you have, in the times that you shared with him.
You will have that FOREVER, no one can ever take those away.
Although you will never forget, in time you will learn to cope with Brett's passing.
I wish you only the best and wish that we could have met under very different circumstances.
Please know that Brett was loved by all, ESPECIALLY you and that you will forever be in our hearts and our prayers.

I only just got to know Brett for the past 2 softball seasons...obviously making me wish I had known him for more. He is an amazing person. Always happy, and always was there to help me remember how to play the game...lol.. There are obviously no words to help ease any pain so I want to make sure I keep this funny, and acknowledging what a great guy Brett is...and I emphasize IS, because he will always be with us. Whether its on the field or off Brett is someone that is always remembered. When he pulled his leg muscle (very painful) all I said was to put mud on it, and instead of yelling at me he laughed..lol. Instead of yelling at how bad our team may be he would always laugh it off and just throw ideas out there to help us get better...and when I say us I mean me...lol. I truly hope your family once again finds happiness despite tragedy, and comes to his teams game to share a laugh. And when you see what I wear you will truly laugh!!

Where to begin? All of our love goes to all who knew Brett. He is in God's loving care, now and will be an angel to comfort us through our grief.
Brett had a smile that stretched for miles and a twinkle in his eyes that lit up the world around him. To have known Brett, is to have touched the face of God. Our memories of growing up will forever be locked up in our hearts and shared for all the ages to come.
One of our fondest memories revolve around hunting camp: playing cards and telling tall tales until the early morning hours. As we reflect, we wish those days had never come to an end. We will leave a chair open at the euker table this fall, and remember all of the joy you have brought to us.
We love you, Brett. We will miss you.

To Bretts family I offer my deepest sympathies as only recently meeting you I can feel your warmth. You will be in my prayers.
"A reassuring presence, a light when times are dark, a hand reaching out, is what friendship is about."
Sara, you have been my best friend for twenty years now and I cannot tell you how it tears me apart to see you with this pain and confusion. You and your family are my family and you are my strongest friend. I wish I could make everything better like you always have for me. I love you with everything in me and will be there everyday to assist you in your grieving and keeping the memories of Brett alive. And although he is gone the love between the two of you will never go away.Your friends and family love you, and will help in whatever way necessary, no matter how long it takes.
Brett although I will never understand why, I believe that you are at peace. It is obvious how loved you were and I wish you could see that. We will miss you. And we promise always to root for North Carolina, no matter what the circumstances :( :)
