Coming up on the one year anniversary I still think about what a kind and wonderful person Brent was and how funny he was. He had the best sense of humor. Love and prayers to all who knew him.

One Halloween Brent dressed up as Doctor Octopus from Marvel. The costume was brilliant and so much fun! He would ride his bike and when he passed by our house always a smile and a wave. Such a wonderful person. The Frietch family will have fond memories of Brent and our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
