I would like to offer condolences to the family and friends of Brent. I knew of him from going to Franklin Tech also. He seemed bright and energetic and friendly.
Later years running into him he would always exchange greetings with enthusiasm. I rarely saw him without at least a few people around him engaged in some random conversation. All seemed quite entertained!
