Smith Family, we are so very sorry about Brent. Though we didn't see him too often, he was a kind neighbor and will be missed. He was always the type of guy that would help you with snow shoveling your driveway or would give you pointers on using a chainsaw. Rest in peace Brent, and our deepest sympathies to you all.

We can never know what battles and struggles people are fighting or the weight that they carrying with them every day. But we can honor their memory by being kind to one another and understanding that although our smiles may be covered by masks today our hearts don't have to be. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Smith family and Brent's many friends that loved him and are hurting by his passing. May you hold the memories of him close to your hearts. Rest in peace Brent.
