I only knew Brent by being a longtime customer of Boss. But almost from day one I could tell what a great person he was, smart, kind, caring, and funny as well. It sounds weird but I really looked forward to our chats while he would stop by for our "two year appointment".....

I will really miss those chats....

God bless you Brent. Thanks for the talks.

My thoughts and prayers go to Brent and his family. I have wonderful High School memories with Brent. I dated one of his best friends and Brent thought it was only right to start calling me Ma. That never stopped whenever we would talk. He is in Heaven now with Jim, and I find that comforting. May God bless you all through your trials and moments of sadness. Brent was a one-of-a-kind gentleman. Hold tight to your memories.

I remember playing touch football with Brent, his brother Matt, Scott Evert and others at Prosperity Elementary School playground, a half a block from the Bostrom home.

I remembet Brent was always a good and athletic kid, and became a fine young man. Reconnected on Facebook in recent years, and enjoyed sharing our perspectives and our faith in God. Brent's faith in God was very strong, and I know he is at peace and with God.

I remember being in 7th grade and how I really looked up to Brent and John G. They were both Seniors in our church youth group and seemed to go out of their way to make us Jr Highers feel included. I was really impacted by them both & knew they were great role models that I wanted to follow.
