Our Family's Thoughts  Brent was a very caring, smart, intelligent, ambitious, hard working and sports oriented young man. He was a loving son, brother, grandson, cousin and friend second to none. He gave his all to everyone who needed him and was so accommodating to others needs. Brent was known for his desire to help others. He would put his life on hold to help those who needed him. His family always came first and he enjoyed life to the fullest. Brent was like a magnet to people. Everyone loved to be with him and he loved being with lots of people at all times. The more people Brent was with the happier he was. Brent was just such a pleasure to be around and we miss him so much. The pain of losing Brent will never go away. We live with it each day and life will never be the same. It will be very difficult to redefine our lives. Redefining our lives will take prayers, faith, strength, energy and commitment to engage with life again. We have such intense moments of longing to be with Brent, to talk and laugh and just be together with him, sitting at the kitchen table and having our chats. Brent had an infectious laugh; he always had a smile and he was such a good listener. Brent always made time for his family and his many friends. Brent never missed an opportunity to say "I love you". He never went out the door without saying, "I Love You" and they are the last words Brent said to me. We know that he loved us and he knew how much we loved him. The love will continue on inside us, like a song that plays on, quietly, in the background of our days. We are sure any parent who has lost a child knows that one of the great difficulties is continuing on into a vague unimagined future. Our wish is that we could have traded our lives for those of our children. We just weren't given that choice. This time of acute grief often feels like a nightmare - something so terrible it could not be real, and there is an intense wish to awaken and find the horrible reality was only a dream.  Brent was a gift from Heaven and never caused us a moment's grief. Brent was so pleasant, such a pleasure to be around, always willing to help make you feel better, he was caring , giving, made you laugh, made you smile and for those who didn’t get to know him that was too bad, but for those who did have the pleasure to know him, he will always be remembered. "We miss you so much, honey, and we love you more than life itself and nothing or no one could ever fill the emptiness we all feel every waking hour". Brent gave us 21 years of love and joy that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We honestly can't describe how much we miss him. He made us all so very proud and we know that he has gone on to a better place. Although his gifted life was cut tragically short, he lived more in 21 years than most people do in a lifetime. As his legacy, Brent has left footprints in our hearts. This Foundation as given our family a purpose and an opportunity to keep his beautiful memory and spirit alive because the biggest fear is that the community forgets your child. This is an opportunity to leave a legacy of Brent to last a lifetime. Brent was all about helping others and this is a way to give back to others. Please visit our video files below.
