Brent was an outstanding man and a wise business person. He had a heart of gold and the integrity of a Saint. Always a smile and a wonderful outlook.
He and I spent many childhood days playing "and fighting" as cousins tend to do but we looked out for each other when we needed to.
Brent will be ma seed by countless people who were fortunate enough to have known him
Love you cousin
