He was a dependable chauffeur, driving his daughter Brittany and wife Reba to countless volleyball tournaments and matches. Brent was also the master swing pusher for his grandchildren, always making sure they had a fun time in the backyard.

Brent is survived by his wife, Reba Kay Collins, daughters Stephanie Rae Pruit and Brittany Nicole Arduini. He was preceded in death by his father, Paul Edward Collins, and mother, Patricia Lou Collins.
