Grant,,

Hey guy, I miss you you and Koons you are riding your bike around up there and relaxing! It’s hell down here! You would not want to be practicing law during the pandemic! It’s weird!

What an amazing guy! Brant treated me more like a friend than a client. You could tell he really loved his family by the way he talked about them.

He will be missed. He was a wonderful person, attorney, and family man. He was always there for me while I was in a time of need. I loved buying him cookies he just loved them. I will always remember him. So sad to see his life end so suddenly, God bless his Family and Friends. Lorrie Dunn Euless Texas

Mrs. Krueger: It is with such sadness that I sign this Guest Book. Brant helped me through the worst time of my life and I am forever grateful to him. I met you one time in San Antonio while Brant was handling my case and your kindness has always stayed with me. Brant was indeed everything everyone has said about him and I am grateful that I had the priviledge to have known him.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Brant's passing. Although we had few cases over the decades, we spoke frequently at the court house. He was a true gentleman; always greeting his colleagues in a warm and friendly manner. He and his kind civility will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Brant's passing. I know I saw him up at the Family Law Center last month and he was as friendly as always. I had a case with him a couple years ago and found him to be very professional in his dealings and personable as well. He will be sorely missed by the lawyers in the family law bar. My heart goes out to you and your children.

Miki,

You have my deepest sympathy at the sudden loss of Brant. I have practiced family law with him in Arlington for almost two decades and I always enjoyed working with him. He was such a nice person and a true gentleman. I also was involved with him through the HSTA motorcycle club and cherished the discussions we shared about this mutual interest.

I saw him at the court house the week before we lost him, and we had a short but friendly conversation as usual. He could always put a smile on my face. I shall miss him.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this very difficult time.

I am also President of the Arlington Bar Asociation and the Board members extend their condolences to you as we acknowledge a great loss to our Bar Association and community.
