Hi John and Geneva I have known you as long as I've known Denise. I didn't really know Brent but I want to extend my sympathy and tell you that I 'm thinking of you and your family. I went to the celebration of life and I can see what a great family you have. I hope you will be able to draw on each other's strength to get peace with this. I can only relate to you as a parent and I can't imagine loosing my own son. My heart is heavy for you and I hope somehow you can carry on with your grandchildren and know that this too shall pass. God Bless you and all your family.

I've always felt that the entire Kinney family were like family to me for many, many years. This news breaks my heart and my thoughts and prayers go out to John, Geneva, Janelle, Colten & Casey and rest of the extended family. Please know that Brent made a lot of people smile and laugh and that's what we'll remember about him most.

Dear Colton and Casey & family,
No one needs to tell you what an amazing man your Dad was, you already know. Sometimes it helps to hear this from others who knew him for who he was and loved him because it is impossible not to love your Dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I will never forget the good times shared. And the memories will live on forever with all of us. The care free spirit and not a care in the world and a smile that went on for days. The lives touched will always be grateful to have known.

I can remember Brent from when I was just a kid and he would be at my dad's house and hanging out with my family. When I got older I would run into him all over town and he always had such a beautiful smile and a cheerful look. My deepest sympathy for the entire family in this time of sorrow. Having been through this myself I understand the pain and sorrow. Brent will always live on in the hearts and memories of many people especially though whose lives he touch so deeply.
