He was in the Boy Scouts of America, and attended Koelsch Grade School, Fairmont Junior High, and Capital High School where he graduated in 1981. He was an incredible friend to Scott Hadley and Randy Rouse. They were quite the trio, like the three amigos. Always together and in some kind of mild mischief. They would ride their bikes all over Boise, the Greenbelt, and out to Lucky Peak, taking hills and mountains with ease. He married Lynette Bushman in 1984 and later divorced. They had four sons together: Blair, Lane, Logan, and Porter. He was a hardworking man and owned his own finish carpentry business for many years. Brent took great pride in the quality of his work, often putting in extra hours to achieve perfection. He later became a truck driver in the northwest, working for Frito Lay, where he loved his work. Brent loved the great outdoors, hunting, camping, and fishing. His prize possession was his Jeep that he loved to take out on adventures in the mountains and on the beaches in Washington. Brent had an amazing sense of humor and could do incredibly funny voices and impressions of famous characters. He had such a kind and giving heart, he would help anyone and everyone that he could. He was acutely aware of others' needs and would go out of his way to provide for their comfort. Brent enjoyed cooking and making up his own recipes. He loved to try different food from all over the world and experience the flavors. He loved a good steak, Thai food, and anything hot and spicy. He also enjoyed sampling various kinds of Root Beers. Brent was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in the Boise Idaho Temple.
