Sadly I just learned of Brent's passing today. My classroom was next to his office so we saw each other daily. I loved his sense of humor, pleasant personality, and willingness to drop everything and come to help me with the smallest problem. Brent was my friend. He will be dearly missed.

My deepest sympathies to Brent's family.

I just learned of Brent's passing today, the 19th. Brent was a fun-loving guy who always worked to serve others. He was caring, kind and had a great sense of humor. As my head custodian at Bonneville Jr. he always had the kids and staff he worked to serve as his upmost concern. He will be missed. My prayers go out to his wonderful wife and family.

Michele, Michael & Sara - I was so sorry to hear about your Dads passing. It's been quite a few years since you lived in Continental Estates, but I have thought of you over the years and remember what great kids you were.
May you always remember the most wonderful times with your father to help you through life. Love,

Fender Family:
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for Brent's passing. Although I didn't know him personally, one of his greatest achievements was raising his son Michael to be an exceptional human. He is married to my niece Christy and I see firsthand how he interacts with his children and how he treats his wife. May the holy spirit bring comfort and healing to you all.
Sincerely,

Dear Pat, I'm so sorry to hear about Brent. I wish I would have know when we were in Las Vegas together...I've known Brent for years..I was married to Stan Marvidakis, Luann's brother in law. It never rang a bell when I saw Brent, he just looked like someone I knew but could not place until today. My prayers are with you. Pat Shanda (Skillicorn)It's a small world.
