So sorry to hear this. Way too young to go.

Original link to the obituary in the first post wasn't working. Use this instead:

"No" was what popped into my head when I read this news. Total gut punch.
I had the privlidge and honor of meeting Brent a few years ago. He stopped by the Red Barn when he was in CA. As genuine as he was funny. I always looked forward to his comments on my build. Brent embodied being an overall great guy - quick to help others with his experience and opinion. Gentle with his constuctive critisism. His build thread has and will continue to help and inspire others. Just one example of his lasting imprint on this world.
I was worried when he stopped posting regularly and I trust he's at peace now. He will be missed by many.

Word fail at times like these but the other thought I have at times like this is:
Hold your loved ones close.

Brent,
Your comment on one particular part of my car means I think of you every time I see it - and I see it often. Know I'll be thinking about you. Thanks for being you and for what you added to our lives. Godspeed, my friend.

Ugh, just saw this. He was such a positive addition to this place. Great skill, enthusiasm, and sense of humor.

Godspeed, Brent, and to your family as well.

Saddened and a bit shocked to read this. Figured he was on the road to recovery from that major life speed bump. I didn’t know the man but can genuinely relate to his trials and tribulations. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I’ll say it again, if you’ve hit the half century mark it’s time to schedule a colonoscopy if you’re due. Cancer really sux...

That is no kidding. You want to make your doctor laugh, I was on the table they were putting me under and the doc walks in and I asked him if he was going to buy me dinner first…

I’m gutted by this news. I consider Brent my 914 restoration brother and am going to miss him very much. I’d hoped we’d get to meet up with our 914s someday.

Ah crap. Brent reached out to me after a post over a year ago when I bought my BB. He was so gracious with offers of help and to meet up if I were driving through his area. We really didn't live that far apart. Now I wish I would have made that drive. RIP.

Very sad news. I believe I have read every page of his excellent built thread. He contributed so much to the 914world and most likely did not have enough time left to enjoy his beautiful 914 like he would have deserved it.

Hope there are some 914´s and open roads up there...RIP

He offered help when I was stranded in Montana, even though given the size of the state, well it was a great offer. Brent had the career that I was too timid to follow, spending time with the mountains and the creatures. Seems like heaven won't be too much of a change for him.
I cannot though say that I am surprised at our loss. He faced a terrible disease, modern treatments not withstanding. Which speaks to the courage of his final posts here.
I am getting too old for this kind of thing.

And Intro from Montana is like seeing a ghost.

Enjoyed his thread and always checked his updates. Fun when he got it running and shared with his experiences with his 914. He will be missed. Sorry to hear this, condolences to the family.

So saddened to hear of Brent’s passing. We were both restoring our ‘73 2.0s over the same time period and communicated often to compare progress and share tips. His commitment to the DIY nature of his project was unparalleled in the community.

He was one of the good guys and will be greatly missed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
