It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our founder and beloved friend, Brett Jones.

After a courageous 10-month battle with brain cancer, Brett passed away peacefully on February 16. His passion for music, his generosity of spirit, and his unwavering commitment to helping families of fallen heroes shaped the heart of Gold Star Mentors.

Through his vision, more than 800 guitars have been placed in the hands of children and young adults, offering healing, hope, and connection through music. His legacy will continue through this mission and the lives he touched.

We honor Brett’s life, his love for music, and his dedication to serving others. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and all who knew and loved him.

“If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” — goodbye for now, dear friend.
