Brett G. Briscoe

Brett Golden Briscoe, 53, left this world suddenly on Wednesday, January 12, 2022, following a motor vehicle accident. He was born in Woodward, Oklahoma to Robert Golden "Goldie" Briscoe and Joyce Darnell "Nell" McLeroy Briscoe on July 16, 1968. He attended high school in Woodward where he played football and made lifelong friends. He graduated in 1986 and then went to Oklahoma Panhandle State University on a football scholarship. His dream was to play pro football, hopefully for his beloved Pittsburg Steelers. Unfortunately, an ankle injury ended his football career while still in college. Brett then chose to join the Army. His military career ended shortly afterwards when he re-injured his ankle. He worked in several careers throughout his life, including as a manager at Sonic restaurant, a truck driver, and oilfield worker. He was married to Shelly Ballard from 1987-1991 and had two children, LauraJo "JoJo" Stone of Woodward, Oklahoma and Tayia Overton, of Shattuck, Oklahoma. Brett was then married to Theresa Graham Alexander of Pampa, Tx from 1998-2010 and had two additional children, Jaylin Briscoe Tafoya and Seger Briscoe, both of Casper, Wyoming, and became a "step"-father to Cheryl Wilson and Tyler Alexander, also of Casper. Brett was also a "Bonus Dad" to many other kids, too numerous to mention.

Shortly after Brett and Theresa moved their family to Casper in 2001, he broke his ankle again in a work-related incident, and shortly thereafter was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. He was placed on disability and shifted roles into being a full-time, stay at home dad. Despite numerous obstacles, he never stopped fighting. Brett was a lifelong learner and attended Casper College numerous times and received an Associate's Degree in General Education among other degrees. He loved fixing things and was in the process of returning to college to pursue a welding degree, mostly to be able to work on his vehicles, which was one of his passions. Brett loved animals and was never far from one of his beloved dogs, Meeka, Merlin, or Bella, among others. Brett had a huge heart and was never one to turn away a friend, and he loved his family without fail. He loved spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

Brett was preceded in death by his father, Robert "Goldie" Briscoe, his mother, Nell Briscoe, and a brother-in-law, Grover Mack. He is survived by sisters Sheila Mack of Shamrock, Texas, Brenda Martin (Leonard) of Carrollton, Texas, brother Rick Briscoe, of Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as children LauraJo "JoJo" Stone of Woodward, OK, Tayia Overton of Shattuck, OK, Jaylin Briscoe Tafoya, Seger Briscoe, Cheryl Wilson, Tyler Alexander, all of Casper, WY, 11 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Memorial will be held at a later date and will be announced. In lieu of flowers, the family humbly requests that donations be made to the Multiple Sclerosis Society, Casper Humane Society, Metro Animal Shelter, or Asperger/Autism Network.
