In Loving Memory of Brett Joseph Fabian

October 21, 1972 - August 9, 2026

Brett Fabian, 53, passed away suddenly on August 9, 2026.

Born on October 21, 1972, in Yonkers, New York, Brett lived and attended school in Yorktown Heights, New York, before moving to Dutchess County, where he attended and graduated from Arlington High School.

Brett worked for many years at Walmart before becoming an associate with Home Depot, where he worked for the past 20 years. Most recently, he worked in Palm Coast, Florida, where he had moved to be closer to his mother.

Brett was a loving son, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend. He was known for his compassionate heart, his kindness, and the genuine care he showed for the people around him. Above all else, family was the most important thing to Brett.

He especially loved the holidays and looked forward to spending time with his family. His niece and nephew held a very special place in his heart, and he cherished every moment he shared with them. His love for his family was evident in the way he showed up for the people he cared about and in the memories he created with them.

Brett is survived by his mother, Marilyn Neste; his brother, Craig Fabian; his sister-in-law, Sarah Fabian; his beloved nephew, Carter, age 13; and his beloved niece, Hunter, age 3. He is also survived by his step sister, Jennifer Muro, his aunts, Irene Diehl and Sheila Broder, along with many cousins, extended family members, and friends who loved him dearly.

He was predeceased by his father, Vincent Fabian, his step father, Joseph Neste, and his grandparents.

Brett will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving him. Though his life was unexpectedly cut short, the love he had for his family and the memories he created with them will remain forever in their hearts.

Rest peacefully, Brett. You were deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.

There will be no public services. The family will honor Brett's memory in their own private way, cherishing the memories they shared with him and celebrating the life he lived and the love he gave to those around him.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that you consider reaching out to someone in need or performing a random act of kindness in Brett's memory.
