Jim Neeley: The Plan of Happiness As Taught By My Son Brett

David Mickelson and KC Cowles welcome Jim Neeley to honor the legacy of his son, Brett. A vibrant young man who served a mission among the Kuna Indians in Panama, Brett was a pilot and outdoor enthusiast who shared a deep bond with his father. Jim recounts how Brett, upon returning home, shared a prophetic prompting that his mortal life would be short, leading to sacred father-son discussions about the afterlife. The conversation centers on Jim’s profound spiritual experience where the “Plan of Salvation” seemed to rain down on him for days. This overwhelming feeling ceased the instant he learned of Brett’s accidental death, providing Jim with immediate divine preparation. Jim also shares miraculous encounters where others felt Brett’s presence, including a young woman who miraculously spoke to request a priesthood blessing Brett had previously promised her. Finally, Jim reflects on the “off-the-charts” joy he felt when hearing his son’s voice from across the veil. He testifies that because of Jesus Christ, death is merely a brief separation, transforming grief into a witness of hope. Jim’s story serves as a powerful reminder that our loved ones remain active participants in our lives as we wait for a joyful reunion.
