Brent was a truely genuine person. His humble kindness and mannerism left a lifelong impression on me. A teacher friend once said "love is a verb not a noun. It is a doing word". I will always remember Brent's compassion and generosity. My thoughts are with Brent's family and friends, to all those who shared the privilege of knowing the man.

We were very very privileged to have known Brent and spend so many wonderful caravanning adventures together. A truly incredible man, and a very brave and devoted husband and father to his poor family. A huge burden x4 he had to wear, but always kept his chin up. A really Good Buggar
