Although Britton’s time with us was cut far too short, he made a great impact on those around him, bringing humour, and charm to the spaces he entered. He will be remembered for his brilliant personality and bright spirit; nicknamed ‘Bright Light’ by his Uncle Rod.

Britton had a great passion for soccer. He advanced through several teams throughout his adolescence. He loved to read and engage in games like chess that challenged his intellect. He also enjoyed golf.

Britton enjoyed spending his summers at his Uncle Rod and Aunty Cathy’s lake cabin, boating, ATV-ing, swimming, and hiking. Britton was particularly proud of graduating high school and was eager to begin his law education.
