Brett Hamilton Gage, age 52, of Kirbyville, MO, graduated to his eternal home on February 9, 2022 after a short, but well-fought battle with covid.

Brett was born on July 2, 1969 in Tucson, AZ, to Daniel and Margaret Gage. At the age of 17, Brett entered the Navy and served for three years as a submarine machinist’s mate second class.

Brett served in many capacities throughout his lifetime, from driving for Pepsi, to working in aspects of nuclear services, to waiting tables (always with a winsome smile), to expertly selling insurance with American Family, Brett did it all with an incredible passion. Brett loved to make others laugh and was a great encourager. Brett was an avid fisherman and boater. He was an active leader at The Grove Christian Church in Branson. He loved his country and most importantly, his Savior. After Jesus, Brett’s biggest passion and love was for his children, Abijah and Aviela. “I sure do love you!” was a constant mantra in their home.

Brett is preceded in death by his parents, Daniel and Margaret Gage and his brother, Forrest Gage.

He is survived by his children, Abijiah Forever Gage (age 14) and Aviela Everlasting Gage (age 11), and his aunt, Charlotte Calderone.
