Brent attended high school in New Glasgow. He joined the military and was based out of Germany for several years. Brent also went to NSCC where he learned carpentry. These skills would take him to many places in Canada and eventually see him settle in The Toronto area.
Brent was an avid hockey player his entire life and won many trophies as a child and young adult. He was often called upon in leagues in Toronto because of his talent between the pipes. Brent spent many hours enjoying golf, often, but not often enough, with his brother Brian.
A graveside service will be held on Monday, August 8, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. in the Lorne Street Cemetery. New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.
