Dear JoAnn,
There are no words to express our deepest sympathy during this very difficult time. Your sadness and grief must be so unbearable. Know that there are so many people in the WBHS community who are keeping you in their thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Brent for over 4 years. He was a positive and encouraging individual, never willing to back down from helping those around him. His help in the office continues forward, as just today I was sharing results from one of his investigations to a colleague. Brent's smile and laughter will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to those he left behind.

I worked with Brent for several years at Honda. He was a great guy to work with and it was always enjoyable to be around him.
Rest in peace my friend.

I knew Brent at work. I never got the opportunity to work with him on anything closely, but I passed him at work all the time. He was always energetic and happy, and you couldn't help by smile as you walked past him or talked to him. What a great heart he had, he will be dearly missed by everyone who knew him and even those who didn't. My prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends as you all mourn the loss of such a wonderful person. We at Honda will miss Brent's smile and positive attitude!
