I didn’t know Brent as well as most of my other co-workers, but during the past week I’ve heard so many nice things about him, and truly regret not knowing him better. My prayers are with his friends and family at this time.

My heart breaks at the thought of Brent not being able to continue the beautiful life that he lead. I will cherish the times I had with him. You always knew if he was with you then it was going to be a time full of laughs. Brent was a very accomplished young man. I learned a lot sitting next to him in the office. My heart goes out to his family. I cant imagine what you are going through. Brent will always be remembered with the highest respect and the thought of him will always bring a smile to my face.

I knew Brent for only a short period of time. But in that time I knew him to be a kindhearted, genuine, and caring person. Always putting others before himself and never hesitating to help those he cared for, Brent proved to be a special and rare breed of man. You will be greatly missed my friend.
