Brent Plaisier Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 29, 2023.
Brent Plaisier, age 59, lost his battle with cancer on November 25, 2023. Brent was a very kind and loving man whose passion in life was helping animals. He did so professionally in the past by working for the Kent County Humane Society and Animal Control, as well as participating in volunteer roles. Brent was a man of integrity and had a strong faith in Christ and a work ethic we should all aspire to. Prior to his illness, he had a 25-year perfect work attendance record at S. Abraham and Sons. Brent was also a dedicated volunteer for many years to the Celebrate Recovery program, which is a wonderful organization that reaches out to people with addictions at New Community Church.
Brent was preceded in death by his father, Raymond Plaisier; and his brother, Bruce Plaisier. He is survived by his mother, Darlene Plaisier; brother, Brian Plaisier (Elizabete); nephews, Colin Plaisier and Bradley Plaisier; nieces, Briana Plaisier and Megan Rosman (Colton); and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
We will celebrate Brent's life on Saturday, December 2, at 1pm at Pederson Funeral Home, 127 N. Monroe St., Rockford, MI 49341.
To honor Brent's passion for animals, and his dedication to Celebrate Recovery, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Humane Society of West Michigan, 3077 Wilson Dr. NW, Walker, MI 49534, or New Community Church/Celebrate Recovery, 2340 Dean Lake Ave NE Grand Rapids 49505.

The years pass too quickly - We remember Brent especially as the anniversary of his joining family and Jesus in Heaven comes around. He will always be remembered as the gentle, kind man he was - our parakeets were in good hands when he had to babysit them and he always had time to smile and talk when we were neighbors.

I just remember that from the day he became our neighbor he was always willing to lend a hand or we just enjoyed a nice talk or laugh at our fence. We will always remember him interacting with his dogs in their yard. We need more people like him in this world! former neighbors, the Robleske family

I am happy our family will again see Brent in Heaven. I´m sure he´s taking care of animals as he did when he was our neighbor for many years. He was always taking some critter that needed help and love into his home. I´ll never forget the day I caught a skunk and together we took him out to a spot in the country but he didn´t appreciate it very much and sprayed! It was a long ride home !
He was just a joy and I´m happy we haven´t lost him - he has just gotten to that perfect place before us .

Brent was a very nice guy. I knew him from Community Recovery, we both volunteered there. As mentioned in his obit he had a very strong work ethic, he was there every Friday night, no exceptions. He loved animals too, especially dogs and cats. He was always feeding stray cats, and taking some into his home to live. There is no doubt he is in heaven now with no more pain. I look forward to seeing him again.
