This weekend, the pool industry lost one of the good ones.
We lost Brett Ellworthy—a man who made a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know him. My journey in the pool industry began in early 2004, and Brett was one of the first people I met along the way. From that very first meeting, it was clear he was someone special.
Brett had a way of making everyone feel welcome. He genuinely cared about people, always had a smile on his face, and could make you laugh no matter the situation. Whether it was poolside happy hours, industry trips, office visits, or simply a conversation when you needed one, Brett was always there. He was the kind of person who showed up, supported others, and never asked for anything in return.
His kindness, friendship, humor, and unwavering presence touched countless lives throughout our industry. He built relationships that went far beyond business, and those connections will continue to be part of his legacy.
The pool industry won’t be the same without him, and neither will the lives of those who had the privilege of calling him a friend.
Rest easy, Brett. You will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and never forgotten. ❤️
From the entire Sharper Image Pools Family- Our Hearts and thoughts and prayers are with you.
