"First I must say I'm shocked and very saddened to find this obituary so long after. It really hit me hard. I was a Bay Colony Club, Fort Lauderdale, neighbor and friend in the late 90s. Brent was a friend to me when I didn't have many friends living in Florida that I could count on. One time our elderly neighbor fell and Brent ran and lifted her up to help. We were both dental specialists from the northeast, young and single at the time. We had many fun times together and outings on my boat. I deeply regret losing touch with Brent after I moved back to my home town in Maryland about 19 years ago. I had the honor to meet his loving parents atleast once. I moved several times and my life changed and became busy with family life. I did track him down stopping by his old previous dental office location about 10 years ago. Brent was unforgettable with his enthusiasm and fun loving ways. He was larger than life and magnetic. If I had someone who also knew Brent to talk with it would have been better but more importantly my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. God bless, Pat Ousborne "

"It's been 20 years... Life wanted that our ways separated at one point... and we lost track of each other... Oceans and continents between us. You were one of the most generous, big-hearted persons I've ever met and I'll always be grateful for the moments spent together and for all you did for me. I still see your smile in front of me as if it was yesterday...the years went by and all of a sudden you popped into my mind more often. I wanted to find out where you were and tried to look you up. More than once I had the phone in my hands and wanted to dial the numbers I had found online. I never got to speak to you... as at the end... I switched the phone off . I don't know why... maybe because even today, continents still lie between us. It was only last week that I tried to look you up again...and I never expected to find this... to find out that you had passed away. I'm still in shock, so so sad despite the fact that we've been out of touch for such a long time. Memories keep on sneaking out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks ... I wish courage had not left me... Hope you are in a happy place now. Rest in peace. Love always, Anja "

"Brent, I first met you at Fairview elem. beautiful eyes and smile, that's how I remember you. I also remember the heartbreak you dealt with losing your best friend John during your high school year. How devestating that was for you at such a young age. I know you are with him now. I'm saddened by your passing, but know you are in a wonderful place. Cyndi"

"John I can never say what it meant to be a neighbor and a good friend. To hear of your passing is unimaginable. You loved to drop into our place unannounced almost every day, with a smile and cheer and usually a laugh. You always brought out the best in people. I am not sure how, but I do know that I will never be the same again, you changed my life, for this I thank you. God must have taken you to his eternal kingdom, where we all hope to be. I look forward to seeing you again my brother, love always -Dave Wynn and Stacey Roy, your neighbors next door."

"It's really hard to phantom that your gone ,I can't seem to wrap my head around it. I spoke to you on Wednesday , you sounded so tired ,i even said to you, you've been knocking yourself out on the hummer, you need to take a break , and you said. "I know, should be done in a couple of days." I'm really sorry that i declined that offer for dinner I couldn't have been with you...thank God you you understood ,if only i knew that it would've been the last time that I would hear your voice or see you, I would've been there in a heart beat. To know you, is to love to you . You were Gods gift to mankind ,you were born to serve ,share and that you did selflessly ...,you gave of yourself ,and did it your way until the very end. I never knew you long....but you sure touched my life and left a long and lasting impression with me. To your immediate family ,friends , and your beloved Sasha, and all those whose lives you've touched , my heartfelt condolences to you all. May your soul rest in perpetual peace. Your friend Susan. Xoxo "
