-

Jan. 30, 1963 - Oct. 19, 2019

Brett was best known as the face behind Driscoll’s Surf, Skate, Silkscreen and Embroidery. Brett and his parents, Mike and Lauryl Driscoll, started Driscoll’s Sports and Arts in 1979. Brett’s paternal grandparen­ts, Zeak and Doris Driscoll, as well as his maternal grandparen­ts Charles and Evelyn Zinn assisted in the opening of the store. He and his wife Tamara Ming Driscoll assumed responsibi­lity of the store in 1986. Driscoll’s has been in operation for 40 years with the 4th generation of the family now responsibl­e for the store. Brett’s son Dustin Driscoll, his daughter Demi and son-in-law Bobby Moreno are now involved in the store assisting Tammy.

Brett had recently become a grandfathe­r to the son of Bobby and Demi Moreno, Micah Bobby.

When he was eight years old, Brett began racing at the fairground­s in Imperial. He was well know in racing circles, where he raced three- wheelers and quads profession­ally. His races took place in the USA, Baja and Europe. Motorcycle and jetski racing were also his passions. His last race was at District 38 on October 12, 2019 just one week before he passed at the age of 56.

Brett will be missed by his family and friends for his giving nature. He was loved by many throughout Imperial Valley and made an impact in his community. He is now in the loving arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Services will be held at Christ Community Church on Friday, October 25, 2019 at 10 a.m. The Celebratio­n of Life will take place at The Old

Eucalyptus Schoolhous­e immediatel­y following. Lunch will be served. His “moto” friends are welcome to arrive on their motorcycle­s in remembranc­e of Brett.

Because of Brett’s love for the desert, we request that memorials be sent to the Imperial Valley Desert Museum.
