Brent, I am so sorry I didn't have the time to get to know you better. Just know that my son will take very good care of your sister & your parents. I know that you are watching from heaven as God's new angel. You will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Although we have lost touch over the years, I think of you often & remember the years we worked together & giving Brent a ride to work or school. He was always so pleasant and fun to be around. My thoughts & prayers are with you always.

Althugh I almost never knew you,
I feel like I really did.
Aunty Nikki has been talking about you,
Since you were a little kid.

Over the years and as time went by
I grew to know you through your Aunty's eyes.
When talking about you she'd say "Ah that Brent,
and I wasn't always sure what she meant.

I remember you best when you walked down the aisle,
Everyone in the church had no choice but to smile.
You had an important job to do and you were ready,
to be the ringbearer at Uncle Doug and Aunty Nikki's wedding.

There was always a twinkle in her eyes and a smile on her face,
When talking about you, she couldn't erase.

Today I learned so much more,
and it really touched me deeply right to the core.
You had become a remarkable man,
the friendship love and compassion that you showed others...
is it any wonder they all wanted to be your brothers.

You're not here right now,
you've gone to another place,
the legacy you leave behind,
will forever leave a smile on everyone's face.

Your Mom and Dad and family will miss you for sure,
from the smile on your face
to your heart so pure,
Your spirit will never ever be replaced.

So thanks to Aunty Nikki,
I think I really did know you,
When it came to nephews she was very picky,
Of this I am sure because it came true.

Fond Memories

I remember the day, I received the phone call
It was a beautiful day, the beginning of fall

How excited I was, I jumped in my car
Thank goodness the hospital was not very far

I was finally an aunt, you meant the world to me
So proud of my nephew,I wanted everyone to see

As the years past on, our love grew so strong
You were a gift from heaven, nothing could ever go wrong

A very fine gentleman, you turned out to be
You loved everyone, including me

You chose not to judge, you chose to love others
You had such fine qualities of your father and mother

I remember the day, I received the phone call
It was a beautiful day, the early beginning of fall

How saddened I was, how empty I felt
My only nephew was gone, I wanted to melt

That's when I remembered, I could hear your voice speak
"No sorrow, no tears aunty, just remember me

I thank god for his gift, I understand you must go
I love you Brent, just want you to know

Love Uncle Doug ,Aunty Nikki and Tyler
