Brent Whitmore

I knew Brent back in the seventies while working at AVTEC. He was truly a wonderful man...

Brent and I first hooked up working for Radio KRXA-Seward where I was the seasonal news director in 1977 and 1978. With our co-worker, Rick Tillman, we had many adventures chasing and reporting the news. Notably, we were instrumental to bringing attention the triple avalanche that took out the road link between Seward and Moose Pass and getting it repaired.

Then, Brent and I sort of lost touch with each other when I moved to Fairbanks for the best of 11 years and got engrossed in...

I will surely mis Brent. We first met while in the Navy. He flew as a crewman with one crew and I flew as a crewman in another crew. After our various flights we usually got together with other crewman for a drink and tell "war stories." His e-mails, phone calls and conversations will be missed by me.

I read each and every entry that was posted on E-mail and Brent was in my daily prayers. I kept hoping that he would be one to beat it. I lost my husband to head & neck cancer and know first hand the agony of this disease. I worked ASLC and Princess with Brent and considered him a good friend. He always brought me a bouquet of lilacs from his yard each spring. I will miss him.

Brent is one of those unique people where you have so much to say your words run together. As i have tried 3 times to express myself. Brent was a kind soul. with a giving smile and always kind words. I personally will miss you at the post office and all your great words and advice and caring ways to people. rest in peace my friend

I first met Brent in 1972. We worked together as announcers on KRXA Radio, Seward. That was the beginning of a long friendship. We had many great debates and discussions over dinner, coffee and drinks. I miss him already.

Hello Whitmores All ... especially Janice, Arden and Ann ... Very sorry about Brent, as you know. Since I was with you and Brent for several hours prior to his passing, I know his last hours were laborious and difficult. I share your sadness. Having experienced a similar loss, I know there is little one can say in moments like this that compensate for the loss of an iconic presence like Brent's. As neighbors, I remember him during frequent visits back and forth between our houses during...

Brent topped off his impressive and varied education here at the University of Hawaii where he was an excellent student and soon became a good friend. He was with me when I met Selena who later became my wife; hard to believe that was 23 years ago. Brent took very good care of us when we visited Alaska. Too vast to see much in a short visit, but Brent made sure that what was important was on our agenda. We shared a lot of political and economic ideas, but also our mutual love of living marine...
