To Brent's Family and Friends, 
I was a classmate of Brent (class of 72)  and played middle and high school basketball with him.  He was a pretty darn good athlete for sure.  I remember us running up and down the court and enjoying one another's company.  Good memories he provided to us all.  Brent was incredibly funny and respectful.  My condolences to all the family and friends who knew Brent Jacobs,  especially this Christmas holiday season.  

Pam and Pat Kelley:
I am so sorry for your loss.  I thought Brent was a really good guy and, while in office as a City Councilman, a wonderful public servant.  I will miss him, and I am sure many others will as well.

My heart, forever and always. No one else matters!

Sorry for your loss, Brent and I partied together on Harvest Homecoming two years ago.

Have known Brent for many years and will  remember him as a fun, handsome man that laughed easily, dressed meticulously, and was always kind to everyone. He was above all, a gentleman.
 Surely it was hard for those of you that loved and cared for him to watch his deterioration. He was comforted by the love that surrounded him and all the visits from his family and friends. I so admired the way he humbly accepted  his fate and made the best of each day.               Pat Mann

Robin and Pam,
We are so sorry for the loss of your brother, Brent. It saddens us that we are out of town. It was a bitter sweet coming together again at Windsor Ridge and we were happy to sing for Brent and always get thumbs up from him. Our childhood memories are the ones My brother Pat (McCrite) and I will cherish always. Blessings to you and your families. (Brent can hear the angels singing now)

My heartfelt condolences to Brent's family and to all who loved him. There was so much I admired about Brent. He was fun-loving, generous and kind. If you were lucky enough to be his friend, there was nothing he would not do to help you. His resilience and ability to deal with and overcome whatever setbacks he encountered in life were absolutely amazing. His final and most difficult challenge he met with a courage, grace and determination that were inspiring and touched me beyond words. I will miss him dearly.
(I loved the pictures of happier times, especially Brent in the powder blue leisure suit!)

So sorry for your loss, prayers be with you today and in the days ahead.

Rest in peace Brent, seems like yesterday we were together at Harvest Homecoming. I'll drink one in for you this year.

Thank you Brent for such fond memories from my childhood!   You made me feel special...not just "Rick's little sister"

"There is a sacredness in tears...
     They are not a mark of weakness, but of power.
        They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. 
They are messengers of overwhelming grief,
       Of deep contrition and of
                  Unspeakable love." ~ Washington Irving

Loss is never easy or comfortable or celebrated, it leaves a hole that cannot be filled. I think the one thing that consoled me most, was when an acquaintance said, "Maybe He didn't want Bo to suffer any longer." That made some sense to me. I hope you can find some comfort in that same statement for Brent. Oh how I adored him, so handsome, riding in his AMX listening to "Benny & The Jets" & laughing at his jokes. Buying "Hot Dantes" (hot donuts) from the bakery on Vincennes St. at 3 a.m.or hanging on to him for dear life as Pops ran all of us out of the pool with his 9 iron, lol ! No, one could ever be around Brent without laughing, especially at the drive-in. He was also a sensitive guy, he was the consoler of the broken hearted. I will always be grateful to him for checking in on me from time to time after my son died. That was the Brent Jacobs I knew & loved. I will miss him. Jack, Robin & Pam, know that my prayers are with you & your family now & always. Much love.

Rest in peace Brent. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Brent was a fun, nice, thoughtful person. You will be missed greatly.

Pam and Robin so sorry for your loss.May god take care of you and your family.

Rest In Peace Brent no more pain or suffering happier times ahead

Rest In Peace Brent, your sense of humor will be missed.  I'll see you sometime driving that black AMC.

I am so sorry for Brent's family's loss!
Brent was such a kind person!
Prayers for your family and friends Brent.
