Brett was born on March 19, 1970 in Wichita, Kansas to Roger and Nancy (Hosch) Ericksen.  He graduated from Sioux City East High in 1988.  In 1995, he was united in marriage to Karla Stolle.  Together they had a daughter, Elizabeth Ericksen.  Brett later married Penny Muckey in 2020.  Throughout his life, Brett lived in Sioux Falls, Hinton, LeMars, and Sioux City until his time of passing.

Brett’s heart was open to anyone who wanted to be his friend.  His dry sense of humor brought smiles to everyone.  He was a very social person who enjoyed time with family and friends.  He enjoyed long drives through the countryside and photography.  Brett also loved technology, gadgets, everything automotive, action movies (especially Star Wars), the Vikings (the people of legend and the football team).

Those left to honor his memory include his wife, Penny Ericksen of Sioux City; daughter, Elizabeth Ericksen of Lincoln, NE; mother, Nancy Ericksen of Sioux City; brothers, Grant (Annette) Ericksen of DeWitt, Iowa, Trent (Bryna) Ericksen of Liberty, Mo., and Kyle Ericksen of Sioux City; and several nieces and nephews.
