Bre Payton, Beloved Staff Writer At The Federalist, Has Passed Away
 December 28, 2018 By The Federalist Staff
 
 Bre Payton, our beloved staff writer for The Federalist, passed away on
 Friday in San Diego, California following a sudden illness.
 
 Bre was born in California on June 8, 1992, to George and Cindy Payton.
 
 She received her high school diploma from the Western Christian High School
 Private Satellite Program. She graduated from Patrick Henry College in 2015
 with a degree in journalism.
 
 Bre joined The Federalist in April of 2015. In the space of just a few
 years, she became a rising star on cable news, regularly featured as
 political commentator on Fox News Channel, Fox Business Channel, and OANN.
 
 Bre brightened the lives of everyone around her. She was joyful,
 hard-working, and compassionate, and she leaves behind friends and
 colleagues for whom she brought nothing but sweetness and light.
 
 Though we are heartbroken and devastated by Bre's death, we are comforted in
 the knowledge that she was a woman who lived a life marked by deep Christian
 faith, trusting in her Savior, Jesus Christ - in the God who promises the
 way our story ends is that "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and
 death shall be no more."
 
 Bre is survived by her parents, George and Cindy; siblings James, Jack,
 Christina, and Cheekie; and boyfriend Ryan Colby. Her family would
 appreciate privacy and your prayers as they grieve this loss.
 
 Details about funeral arrangements will be shared once they are known.
 
 
Regards,
 
Roger
