I knew Brent and Susan from a job I had in Etowah. I loved Brents sense of humor. I was happy to see Brent walking through Etowah. He seemed to have a bit more pep in his step! I am very sorry for your loss.

The last post about the gift of trees to a forest in need was from Jan Kastens, significant other, not grand parent. I only knew Brent for a short time, but we loved each other very much. God bless him!!

Hey old friend. Haven’t seen you since some of our Sigma Nu days. Too long of time to not run into each other, but I did hear of your success in the construction industry. Looks like it took you to many nice places.
So Long. Rest In Peace.

Such a gracious, kind and caring person. It was an honor working with him in the finance department. Our church now has a large void. My prayers to all the family. God keep you in His care.

Brent always had a smile and kind words to share. He was always a willing helper to friends and the church. He was a dear friend for many years to my late husband, Skip, and myself. It is such a sudden loss for family, but may many great memories warm your hearts and souls and bring a smile to your lips.
