Bob and I send our deepest sympathy. Although we never met Brent, he sounded like a very compassionate and loving man. We know you will cherish the memories you have of him, and rejoice that he is no longer in pain and is whole again with our Lord Jesus in heaven. We love you dearly. Bob and Harriet See
My family knows Brent and his family from Baruch HaShem. We were so very fond of this family. Brent taught the new members class – not an easy task. He just went out if his way to connect and smile with people. He had a delightful twinkle in his eye when he was visiting with a person. Brent & April were always there to pray with people. We knew of the injuries in Iraq and did not know how he suffered daily from pain. Our hearts are broken for Brent and family. We trust in the Lord Jesus to BE eternal love & life for Brent.
One of my memories is when Brent taught service when I was in my first trimester of my miracle pregnancy. He was teaching about hard time and how sometime it feels like you are being tossed to and fro on the waves of life. He had every one stand up and sway to the left then sway to the right and so on. I got sea sick! It was a great message about how G-d is our anchor. Thank you for sharing it. Our prayers are with his family.
I have lots of great memories of Brent from the time I first knew him when he was a little boy of 5 years old in Boulder, CO. He was a terrific little boy who grew into a wonderful man. I loved his posts on Facebook of his adorable lab puppies. He will be missed.
I met Brent in August, 1983, when we were dorm mates at KU. We were both 18, and about to embark on our college experience. I was immediately impressed by Brent. He was serious, dedicated, loved his Lord, and someone I felt I could talk to any time. While most of the guys in the dorm were out doing silly things on the weekend, Brent and I were usually in the dorm, so we got to know each other fairly well. He was smart and kind to everyone. And he was a very handsome young man, particularly in his uniform which he wore with pride. I took a series of photos of him in uniform, standing in the lobby of our dorm. We parted ways when he left JRP dormitory the following year, but I never forgot him. I was glad to reconnect with him on Facebook a few years ago, and really enjoyed watching his webcams when his labs were giving birth. I was glad to get to know him again these past few years, and am terribly saddened that he has left us. But I will never forget him, and believe someday we will see each other again. My prayers and thoughts are with his family this Labor Day Weekend. Sincerely, Brad Moore in Overland Park, Kansas.
