Brent was as smart, gentle and caring guy. It was always a pleasure to have him wait on me at his uncle Kevins auto parts store. He was always ready to go out of his way to help. I will always remember Brent as his grandfather Dicks under study. They would travel around the country together going to auctions,getting parts and usually stopping along the way home for a glass of lemonade….He always spoke of his family well and he will be missed by all who knew him. He was a first class guy and a friend that anyone would like to claim. Mike West
Brent you were such a bright star in my life, so many smiles you gave me. It was such an honor for you to have called me Aunt Dawn. Watching you grow from a stubborn, strong willed pint-size squirt into such a wonderful and loving adult ( but not loosing that stubbornness & strong will) made me so proud to have been part of your life. I could only hope to have half the strength you had throughout your life. Heaven is blessed to have you in their mist. I will miss you!!! love, hugs and kisses God Bless Aunt Dawn/Mamma Woody
