No. Let be the quiver over a field , and take the representation of a quiverAn endomorphism is a pair of scalar maps satisfying , so its endomorphism ring is . Every nonzero endomorphism is therefore an isomorphism, making this representation a brick module. It nevertheless has the proper nonzero subrepresentation , so it is not an irreducible module.
Equivalently, this is a nonsimple module over the path algebra whose endomorphism ring is a division ring.
