Britt was like family. Even though he didn't have much, he would give you the shirt off his back. Granted he would probably give you a little story to go along with the shirt but that was Brit! Going to miss his love of life. He just didn't let a whole lot get him down. He's up there playing catch with my dog and his friend Izzy! Catch you on the flip side!💛

To the Opperman family, I’m so very sorry for the loss of Brit. I never knew him personally but wanted to reach out and give his family some support somehow. Recently I’ve had close friends and relatives pass away and I have found so much comfort from the Bible and what it promises. Isaiah 26:19 says  “Your dead will live. My corpses will rise up. Awake and shout joyfully, You residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of the morning, And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” The Bible promises that you will see Britt again! Please be assured your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I worked with Brit and he was such a good guy. Always had a smile for you and was a very kind and humble man. I will definitely miss him.

Brit was always a free spirit. I'm sure him and Dave are fishing that salmon run wherever they are.
