I met Brent in high school at BCC. I transferred from Handy and felt I didn´t know where I fit in high school. Brent showed me kindness, he was a good friend to me. We would hang out, sometimes play pool. He played football and the oh fun of Friday night lights as I cheered on the sidelines. He had a ready smile always and had such an easy spirit. I wish I could´ve thanked him for being a good friend. Praise the Lord he is in victory! I see he knew Jesus and my heart is comforted for his family to know they will see him again in glory. Deepest condolences-Marci Cottick (Perry)
