So sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family. I worked for Guy in Harrison when he opened his shop behind the old Wal- Mart . I was his employee but it seemed I worked with him instead of for him. He made a big impression on my life, as I was just maturing and he was a great role model. He treated everyone with respect and was a family man. He will be missed.

My heartfelt prayers are with all of you. Brent was always such a big part of my life growing up. My brain knows better but my mind and my heart still see him as a young man with his family, happy and so very proud of each of each. He will be missed by many and was always respected. Heaven has surely gained another angel. May He bring you comfort and peace.

I have fond memories of Guy Brett and all the cousins riding in the back of Uncle Dencil’s 1953 Chevy truck with cattle racks going to Mountain View. Spending time with him at the Dairy shack. Fishing and craw daddy was the best. He was one of the kindness, nicest person I have ever met.

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
