Brent you were a good friend. I will always remember you by coordinating events so that most of your friends in High School could celebrate a great party!You were thoughtful of other friends like that.We got into our mischeif; Great America for example when we were 12 or 13, we just had to have those shirts! I think I saw you last in 98' Leland Reunion. I met you through Mike Woglem when I was about 9 or 10.We always got along great since then. I remember you for the KLEL days @ Leland and your love of music.I am truly saddened that I will never be able to see you again in this life.My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Rest in Peace Ol' Buddy.

I went to Bret Harte and Leland high with Brent, he was always a very kind soul, and never seemed to have anything bad to say about anyone. I had kept in sporadic contact with him after high school, and was delightfully reunited with him in the last year. He came to a couple of my Jimi Hendrix tribute gigs and we had a wonderful time. He really loved music, we definately connected there and in our love for sports. I will miss Brent, but am happy that he now has relief from his ailments. May God have a place for you, see you soon.

Brent's passing comes as quite a surprise. Him and I were housemates in Santa Barbara at one time, and still managed to stay in touch after we both moved to the Bay Area. Though regrettably, not as much after I moved to the central valley.

I know I will miss Brent for his love of music. I remember many fun times with him at Electric Blue gigs, and he certainly was responsible for keeping me up to date about them after I left Santa Barbara.

I also know the children that he shared his love of sports with will sorely miss him as well.

Thank You Brent for touching our lives. May you be at peace.

Brent and I were housemates in Isla Vista for a year. We knew each other during that magical time in life when we were figuring out who we were and posing as students along the way. I remember when Wet Blanket was created. I remember coining the term "minstrelating" to describe Brent roaming around the house with his guitar. We shared a fondness for writing and an appreciation of good music. We had lots of great chats and saw a lot of amazing live music together. I will always think of Brent with a smile. I miss him.

With heartfelt condolences to Brent's family and friends,

Anne

The only people I've known longer than I knew Brent are blood relatives. He's my oldest friend. He was my first friend in California...

We met when we were 5. And as friends do we got off to a great start. Knocking over every trash can on our street while on our way to Kindergarten on Garbage day. We broke a few windows here and there. Attended hundreds of concerts together. Formed our first real band together.... Wet Blanket And contrary to what a lot of people might think....they weren't all Grateful Dead shows. I only went to two of those...and yes...Brent was at both. We Formed our first real band together....Wet Blanket

after college you drift apart as often happens but maintain contact with phone and email. The last time I saw him was in Oakland in June of 04...I was there doing a show and he came up from San Jose to check it out. There were only 8 people there as we had booked it the night before. All friends...it ws great... i was stoked to finally have him see me play again as it had been over ten yrs since the Blanket's last gig. Then we didnt speak for quite sometime...i lost his email address etc. You can really find these things if you look hard enough....Then about 2 months ago I found an old photo of a singer we like....Ronnie James Dio, that I had gooten signed for him by Ronnie about 6 yrs ago that was in a box in my garage . It has been hanging on my wall at work since, I wanted to send it to him then two weeks ago i fired up an instant message program that I hadnt used in god knows how long He was on line, I couldnt belive it we chatted for about a half hour.....so nice to get back in touch with someone. He sounded really happy...I told about the picture and I wanted to send it. Im brining it to him instead. I miss my friend
