Written By Jesse Kahn
 
 

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former G&STC therapist Brett Wagner.

Brett approached their work with clients with compassion, love, kindness, connectedness, dedication, and openness. As a coworker and colleague, Brett was smart, supportive, vulnerable, inquisitive, and playful - and gave that same compassion, love, kindness, connectedness, dedication and openness to their colleagues.  Brett will be deeply missed by all who knew them.

We’ve been in touch with Brett’s family to express our sadness and condolences, asked for permission to post this, and have been directed to share that donations in Brett's memory may be made to the Pride Center of the Capital Region, Lambda Legal NYC, or to the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC).
