My grandparents Polly and Raymond Walker knew Brent down home and were long time friends of his
Every time he saw my grandma he would sing Pretty Polly to her.
Grandma will miss that and him. Brent was a good man.
Our thoughts are with his family.

Another one of my heroes has moved to heaven. My Dad made the journey in January and I know him and Brent are already singing together in that heavenly choir. Our prayers are with the family . Just remember we'll all be together again in a few days.

Really sorry for your loss. It was always such a pleasure when your family came to Mt Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Acton. It was always a
treat listening to Arnold sing and talk about the Lord
