Brett Chavis, only thirty years old, will be remembered this coming Saturday in a memorial service
at 1PM at the Brown Wynne Funeral Home on Saint Mary's Street here in Raleigh. The family will
receive friends immediately following the chapel service. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be
made to the Children's Museum of Winston-Salem, 390 S. Liberty Street, Winston Salem, NC 27101.
Many of us in the ultimate community have played with Brett one time or another over the past 10
years, whether on a summer or winter league team. He played just this past winter with Nick
Poores team. Brett could always be counted on for a strong layout defensive bid, and he knew how
to keep the disc moving. His humor was of the sarcastic sort, just needling enough to get a rise
out of you, but never mean.
Teams that Brett has played on since League Centrals inception:
WL 07 Poore
WL 06 Rubber Red
SL 05 Tasty Navel
WL 05 WTF
SL 04 White
WL 04 Ninjas
WL 03 U
