How U of D Jesuit’s Spirit of Service Inspired—and Saved—Don Brezinski ‘64

In April 2022, Don Brezinski ‘64, called University of Detroit Jesuit. He mentioned that he had suffered a stroke which resulted in aphasia and affected his speech. Then, in August 2021, he had been hospitalized with COVID-19, as was his partner who died shortly after. He spent months in treatment. He didn’t think he had long to live, and said he wanted to leave a bequest because he valued his U of D Jesuit education and the emphasis on service to others. He also asked about some of his former classmates and expressed his desire to connect with them. If you would like to know what happened when U of D Jesuit reached out to his classmates and what they did to truly be “Men for Others,” please read the Wall Street Journal article.
