Dear Marc & Mike,
I was truly saddened to learn of your Father's passing. I have always had such respect and appreciation for our friendship. I approached him 20 years ago, as a young business salesman, looking for a break to earn his Musco business. He gave me that break, and we had many successful projects together, of which I've always been proud.

I have never forgotten his help, and will always be greatful for his friendship. Brent was always the consumate business man, and taught many people the road to success through hard work and high standards.

I am proud to call him my friend and I will truly miss him.

I know all of you will miss him too, but wholeheartedly agree that he is happy now being reunited with his love, Diane.

May you find comfort in knowing they are together again, looking down on you and your families with great pride and love.

With sympathy,
Allan

Mike & Marc,
I was your dad's neighbor on Tequestra and truly enjoyed chatting with him in the driveway and seeing him walk his dogs. He was a great neighbor and a lovely man. I was lucky to know him. I send you my prayers and deep sympathy for your loss. He will be missed on Tequestra.

To Marc, Mike and Families
Was very sad to learn of Brent's passing. When your family moved to Tustin and Brent took the position of Director of Parks and Recreation, I was the Assistant Director. We had a great time working together and I still remember those years fondly because Brent was was not only a true professional, but also such a great guy to work for. Although we lost track of each other for a few years, in recent times we would still see each other at Louie's barber shop or the market where we both shop. My sincere condolences to all of you.

Dear Marc and Mike and Families,
We are so sorry to hear of you fathers passing. We went to high school with your Dad and just saw him at the 50th class reunion. He was always so fun to be around. Carbon County was a great place to grow up. Friendships stay forever. God Bless all of you during this sad time.

Mike and Marc,
Although I did not know your Father very well, I always knew the great amount of respect the two of you had for him. He was obviously a great man as witnessed by the amount of character his sons show as fathers, husbands and friends. That same character is already reflected in his beautiful grandchildren that Melissa and witness daily. Our prayers are with you and your families during this difficult time.

Brent was a real wonderful, standup guy. Always ready to help and someone who will truly be missed. He is in a better place. He was a real "bringer" of light in many ways (no pun intended). My condolences to the family. Sincerely, Richard Mayer
