I’m looking at a picture of his art that I have framed on my wall right now (a heart), and I’m reminded of how absolutely awesome Brent is. Creative. Kind. Funny. Easy to talk to. Brilliantly talented. An incredible, amazing friend. I miss him and will always cherish our conversations. One of a kind to say the least. Words do don’t him justice. Everyone who knew him, knew they were in the presence of someone special. Love ya bud. ❤️

Dear Jay and Barb
Deepest sympathies to all the Flicks family and cousins in the loss of cousin Brent. Sadly we just heard of this profound news and the loss of Brent. The memories you have of such a talented son will be reflected on many occasions, and live on as Brent’s legacy.

So sorry for your loss of Brent .
I had the great opportunity to see Brent grow up at West End Y day-care. Brent  I will always remember your smile . RIP my friend

Brent and I would talk for hours on Facebook, and for a few years a day didn’t go by where we didn’t communicate.  We talked about everything from work, family, music and even our fears and insecurities.  It was this dialogue which helped me become the man I am today. 

At our wedding  in June of 2017, Brent travelled hours to come make a speech.  Recited from memory, Brent flawlessly executed his speech with such kind words that I began to think he was talking about someone other than me.  It’s this type of energy that Brent brought to the world which helped me gain confidence in myself.

I can only imagine that Brent is in heaven hitting up 2Pac and Biggie for a feature, or perhaps even XXXTentacion or Lil Peep since he was always up to date with current music.   One thing for sure is that he isn’t stopping the hustle because he never did.

I may have lost a friend but I’ve gained an angel.  You will always be there with me Brent, every step of the way.

RIP Brother <3

Jay, Barb & Jason;
We are so sorry to hear that Brent has passed.  He was a wonderful young boy who grew into a wonderful young man.  We remember many fun weekends together as the College Crew made some great memories with our families. Our visits to your Cottage were filled with Brent enlightening us with his amazing knowledge of his sports stats, seeing his passion for his music and many laughs.  Our family was very excited to buy and listen to Brents CD when he made it.  It was heartwarming to listen to his unique voice and his talent. 
Please know that our thoughts and hugs are with you all during this difficult time. 
You will be missed B-Flix. 

This ones for you Jay. I remember Saturday Leafs hockey games.When the leafs where bad in are day .if you remember he would say” skate you bums”

Dear Barb and Jay,

My heart breaks knowing how sad you must be to have to say goodbye to Brent.  Brent was a one of a kind person and I will cherish every memory I have of him.  Oh, the things he had me do! Bologna faces, March madness, foot massages, poker games, waiting room antics, PlayStation, shopping, train rides!  The list is endless.  Everyday we spent together was filled with fun and nonsense.  Brent, it was my honour.   May you be centre ice, smiling as you hear me yell, 'skate ya fat lards'!  

Dear Barb, Jay, Jason and family .......I am so sorry for your loss.  Brent was such a special special young man.  An inspiration to all.  Prayers for comfort and peace xoxo love Frank and Cathy Zamboni

I had the great pleasure of knowing Brent during his years as a student at SCS, where I work.  We crossed paths many times, chatted often, and one year for Halloween, I was Batman to his Robin (I believe there's a picture of us in the yearbook).  Last year, I was part of the committee that recruited Brent to star in one of the Board's pro-diversity and acceptance-based videos, which was incredibly well-received and shown in numerous schools at both elementary and secondary levels (indeed, Brent will live on through that video, which will continue to be used in teacher-training and to foster and promote inclusion among our youngest thru teenage students for years to come).  Please accept my condolences on his loss.  Here at SCS, we are remembering and celebrating Brent's lasting impact on our hearts and minds.  He will not be forgotten.  ~Mr. Dale

Dear Jay and  Barb.  Sorry to read of your loss.  Just had to drop a note to let you know  I  are thinking of  you.  Sincerely; Deb Erdelyi


I remember the first day Brent began his education at Boston Public School with Sandy McDonald as his teacher. Next he moved on to Grade one when I had the privilege of teaching him along with his EA Sherry Haviland. Brent was a unique force.  He was brave and strong beyond all measure. I know how much you loved him. It should in his every day of life. May he RIP.

I never met Brent, but always heard the most amazing stories of him when Barb would come into Meridian. My condolences are with you Barb and your family. I know how hard this is on you and i know you're strong and will make it through this with the love and support of your family. I'm so sorry, but also glad that Brent is not suffering anymore. He is no longer in pain, and that is a blessing for him. Stay strong Barb and family💕

From the time Brent was a baby, his smile was infectious. Our families shared many fun weekends together as the kids grew up. We so appreciated Brent's expertise in picking the winning horse so Steve could win the bet (smile). His music was  incredibly powerful, reminding us of the absolute necessity for  inclusiveness and to break down barriers.  While his time with us was all too brief, Brent  brought out the best in those around him. He truly touched our lives and made us better people for knowing him.  Jay, Barb & Jason, there are no words to express our heartfelt sympathies to you.  We love you & are always here for you. Love & hugs, Steve & Nancy

My heart is broken. You were taken from us way too soon. Brent is the strongest guy I have ever met. No matter how much pain he was in he still pushed on with the support of his amazing loving family, a family that I grew to love, they made me feel like I was family. I am going to miss our hockey talks and how bad the habs played lol. He was truly gifted with his love for hip hop music and looking up to his idol Drake. I was so excited and honored to listen to his music/videos and lyrics that he created. I still listen to his CD in my car! What I will miss the most is talking to you about Survivor every Wednesday. You, Karen and I were always guessing who would get voted out next tribal council. I hope one day I get that opportunity to play for the both of us. You’re with the Survivor Gods now free from pain. Until we meet again BFlix ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Brent was the bravest young man I had ever met. He was a hard charger who never complained and was never the victim. He took what life gave him and made more than the best of it! I  admired his courageous spirit so much and was inspired by his positive energy. 
I think about him a lot and I shall miss him. I thank his amazing parents for being amazing parents. 


Had the pleasure to perform in brantford alongside this dude and in hamilton, was a great dude inside and out and happy to have known him

Barb and Jay, 
We only knew Brent through your eyes and your words as you shared your pride and your love for him; we share your pain in losing him today.  
In the days and weeks ahead you will find that he gave you lots to remember, to laugh about and to be grateful for, to love.  Hope you can smile, even through your tears when you think about how precious the time you had with Brent was and all the joy you shared.  
With our sincere sympathy.
Angela, Nic, George, Kevin, David, Bailey, Celyn, Jennifer
Your Meridian family.

The Flicks ROCK!! In early 2016 around 1:00 am in Hamilton, at Club Absinthe I went to support Dan-e-o. Brent was opening up, performing and I felt like I was in another world. I didn't know what to think. I went to buy merch' from Dan-e-o and seen Barb and Jay at 1 am in the morning selling B-Flix shirts.

The love and support B' has had his whole life is just so heartwarming to me. To thee most loving parents a person could ask for, Jay and Barb you are truly loved and appreciated. For all the Leo's I have known, Brent was the most strong willed stubborn and focused Leo I know/knew (in a great way). A Leo sign is about being true to self. The determination that BFlix had to inspire and ignore the issues he had will continue to encourage all of us. His lyrics say it all. www.bflix.ca 

R.I.P. Brent. 

Thank you for being the best fighter I know.
In our hearts, and on earth and in heaven I know you will "Keep Hip-Hoppin".

I remember our SON Cody coming home many times from school talking about Brent and saying how brave he was. He also used to say how nice he was to talk to. Cody never treated him differently, he always thought of him as one of his dear friends. Rest in peace Brent. So very sorry for your loss.

Brent is so inspiring. He is a huge inspiration and really proved to not let anything hold you back and that you can do anything you put your mind to. He will be dearly missed in the music community and in my heart forever

Dear Flicks Family, 
I have so many  memories of Brent and all he contributed to our group of school friends at Boston. Please know you have my condolences.
Adam Buchwald   

Dear Flicks family, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Brent always had a great attitude on life and he will be greatly missed.  

Barb and Jay...I’m so sorry for your loss...no words can heal your pain. I remember those days way back when the boys were little and played ball together...take care of yourselves 

Dear Barb, Jay , Jason and family, My deepest condolences to your family over your loss. It was a privilege to be able to teach Brent in Kindergarten.  I will never forget his enthusiasm for life and the joy he brought to our classroom and his classmates. There were no limits on what he could and would do from taking part in our classroom to playing with his friends outside. One special memory was his love of the Toronto Maple Leafs! I watched him grow throughout his years at Boston Public and then to reconnect with him on facebook was wonderful.  We reconnected by sharing our thoughts and stories as friends. I could listen to his music and follow his accomplishments. Once again Brent enriched my teaching career with his zest for life. My memories of Brent will always be with me. He had a wonderful  caring family who devoted their lives to him. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers!

Dearest Flicks Family ...
Please accept the entire Shrubb families deepest condolences .
I have never met a young man who truly loved life and took life as it came to him with such grace and determination as Brent did , May you find peace and surround yourselves with love and loved ones . 
With deep sadness
John , Dori Lynne and Ethan Shrubb

Dear Barb and Jay, Jason and family
