I have many happy memories from my youth of getting together with Brent to play board games, go to movies, or just hang out, and I'm so very sorry to learn of his passing. He was always kind, helpful, thoughtful, and enthusiastic, and is greatly missed.

Many fond memories of him gaming with the "Nerd Herd". He was a great teacher, intellectual in many subjects and he was so interesting to talk with. He'd usually bring a yummy food dish over, to share for game night. He would always be there for anyone he cared about whenever he could. He was that type of person who'd literally give his shirt off his back, if it would help you out, he was that generous. He was a wonderful and wise man and he'll be greatly missed. He adored and worried over his family and his friends, he never spoke badly of anyone, ever. Rest in Peace, Brent.
