I am sad today knowing we’ve lost a force of nature. Brent helped me write better – but he showed me how to be a better man, a better dad and a better human. I am – as so many of us are – blessed by the time we got with him. Thanks for a lovely piece on such a terrible day. WG

He always strived for the best for himself and everyone around him. He maintained an amazingly positive attitude when he was diagnosed with cancer and defied the odds multiple times to recover. He is an inspiration to everyone around him, we will miss him and his energy.

We, in the aquatic world, will miss him more than we know. Rest in Peace, Brent!
