Uncle Brent was a good husband and a good father who was a very nice person to be around and was loved by many people. He will be missed very much. Uncle Brent is in peace now looking over us. He isn’t in any pain and with his parents once again. May GOD bless Uncle Brent and may he rest in peace. With all my love,
