Brett Cosner

Brett Maverick Cosner, 50, of Morgantown, passed away on Friday, Dec. 2, 2022, at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital. He was born on Feb. 10, 1972, in Oakland, Md., son of Paul William Cosner Jr., and Dorothy (Paugh) Cosner and stepmother, Alma (Mum) Cosner.

Brett worked as a truck driver for Mountain State Waste. He was known throughout his life as a hard worker and missed working during his recent time of illness. His “work” family greatly appreciated him.

He loved dancing and music, had a passion for Harleys and side-by-sides and was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan. Brett was a credited wood worker along with other primitive arts.

Brett excelled with his perfectionism in both his work ethics and hobbies. He also had a love for nature and recently became an avid bird-watcher. He loved his fur babies, Minnie, Beanie and Chester and his ducks. Overall, he had a love for life and was considered an easy friend maker.

In addition to his parents and stepmother, those who are living to cherish his memories include the love of his life, Amy Bacorn; two sons, Austin (Alison) and Ryan Cosner; grandchildren, Oliver and Amelia Cosner (children of Austin and Alison); siblings, David Cosner, Mary Tolari, Randy Cosner, Timothy Cosner, Dottie O’Lear, Robert Moats, Terry Cosner, Jerry Cosner and John Cosner; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Brett was preceded in death by his sister, Darlene Cosner.
