Dear Setterstrom Family,
Thank you so much for your wise and caring gift in Brent's name that brought the "Pure Performance" program to Northfield's high school athletes, coaches, staff, parents and community members. This information was needed, enlightening and will make a difference as our community continues to move forward with broad, consistent information and action to help keep our young people healthy and safe.

Setterstrom Family,
My name is Patti McDonald and I have had the privilege of working with Tom Graupmann and the Mayor's Task Force who will be bringing the "Pure Performance" program to Northfield this September. I never had the opportunity to meet your son Brent but pray for him and your family.
Thank you for your generous gift from the Brent Setterstrom Memorial Fund to the Pure Performance community initiative. In Brent's honor we will work hard to have a positive impact on your community's kids, coaches, and parents!
Once again, my prayers for your healing.

Setterstrom Family-
I'm extremely sorry for your loss of such an extraordinary individual. I had the honor of knowing Brent during my time at UWSP. His personality lit up the room when he was around and we all have become better from what he has given us. Please remember there are many people out there for you to reach to, and there will be light at the end of this.

So heartbreaking, one could hardly believe the news. My mother, Bonnie, and I were talking and there is hardly a 4H memory that didn't include the boys. Everyone is in my thoughts, I'm profoundly sorry for your loss. May peace find you.

Setterstrom family,
I'm very sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you in this time sadness. Brent was a true best friend and will forever be missed. He brought life to lives and smiles to faces. He was one of the most intelligent people I have ever had the honor to know. Often when we went fishing he'd yell out "walleye" to let them know we had arrived. I do it now in Brent's honor. His presence will be deeply missed but his memory will never be forgotten. Again, my deepest of sympathies.

I was so sad to hear about Brent. What a shock. We will miss him tremendously at Hawks Nursery. He was such a pleasure to work with. He always knew how to put a smile on my face even when I was having a stressful day. He was just so helpful. No one can fill his shoes! My heart goes out to all of Brent's family at this time. May God comfort you and give you strength.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I remember having so much fun with the Setterstrom boys as a little kid and trying to jump over the pine trees that separated our yard from your old yard. I always thought Brent was so cool because he could jump so high and clear the trees with ease. Please know that Brent and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
