Born in New Brunswick, he resided in Edison before moving to Kendall Park in 1996. Brett was currently a student at the University of Delaware, and a graduate of South Brunswick High School class of 2008, where he was a member of the wrestling team. Brett loved playing the guitar and listening to music.
Brett is survived by his parents, Timothy M. and Juliann C. (Swallick) Griffin; two brothers, Ryan P. Griffin and Corey M. Griffin; great-grandmother Dorothy Hoover;
grandmothers Dawn Swallick and Trudy Griffin, and several aunts, uncles and cousins.

Griffin died of alcohol poisoning after participating in a fraternity ritual, in which the pledges lined up in the basement of the fraternity house, ate raw onion slathered with hot sauce, and drank concoctions that made them vomit. Griffin then drank a 750 ml bottle of Southern Comfort. He was propped up on his side on a couch with a bucket or trash can in which to vomit, and later found "foaming out of his mouth." He died with a BAC of 0.341.
