Brett Schwanbeck was 61 and from Bullhead City, Arizona. A retired truck driver who loved the outdoors, he was a father of three and grandfather to five. Family remembered many outings—camping, hunting, fishing and dirt‑bike rides—and that he enjoyed remote places and getting lost in the woods.

On the evening of Sunday, October 1, 2017, Schwanbeck attended the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas with his fiancée, Anna Orozco. During the first round of gunfire, he was struck by a bullet and, with help from several people, was placed in an ambulance and taken to Sunrise Hospital. He fought for his life but succumbed to a head wound and died on Tuesday, October 3, 2017. The attacker, identified as 64‑year‑old Stephen Paddock, fired on the crowd from a 32nd‑floor hotel room at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and was later found dead of a self‑inflicted wound.

Did anyone who knew Brett or was at the festival with him want to share memories or details that might help complete his story?
