Brent Atwater Obituary
GREENSBORO HEAVEN SHONE BRIGHTER IN THE MORNING hours of May 10 when Brent R. Atwater, age 47, passed peacefully away to his eternal home. Born in Massena, NY, Brent graduated from U of M with an economics degree and received his Master's in Counseling from UNH. Brent was a deeply committed and loving father and husband. Thoughtful, intelligent, curious, and compassionate, Brent was like the ocean he so loved, wide and expansive, seeking to know the Lord and others more deeply. Brent's greatest passion was ice hockey, which he played from the age of 5. He played goalie for several teams at the Icehouse and was a life-long passionate fan of the Montreal Canadiens. He was a blessing to so many and will be greatly missed.Brent is survived by his wife, Caryn and his children, Lindsey and Luke, his parents, Richard and Sherry Atwater of AZ, and his brother, Christopher Atwater and his family of MI. There will be a celebration of Brent's life on June 7th at Christ United Methodist Church in Greensboro at 3 pm. Casual attire please. Gifts to honor Brent's memory are suggested to Christ United Methodist Church, 410 N Holden Rd, Greensboro, NC 27401 or to the Greensboro Icehouse, 6119 Landmark Center Blvd, Greensboro, NC 27407
