While growing up, he lived in several cities in Kansas, but at the age of 18 he jumped in his car and drove from Hays to Wichita to attend Auto Mechanics trade school. Through mutual friends, he was introduced to the love of his life - Brigitte. Brent and Brigitte were married on October 7, 1978. Shortly after, they welcomed two beautiful children into the world - Nicholas Vincent and Kiera Maria. Brent prided himself on his work and being able to provide for his family. For 16 years, Brent was a mechanic for Sears Automotive before switching career paths into construction. He started off doing commercial construction and then settled into residential working alongside his dad at Cherrywood Construction. Brent remained with this company until he settled into early retirement a few years ago. He continued to work for customers doing odds and ends remodel work along with friends he built over the years in the same industry. His work spanned several cities across the country, but mainly Wichita and surrounding areas. While Brent is no longer here with us on Earth, his legacy will live on as future generations enjoy his craftsmanship. Likewise, the world is a better place due to impressions Brent left on people's hearts. Brent was a fun-loving and easy-going soul that always saw the best in every person or situation. If you had the privilege of knowing Brent, you had the privilege to see the world from a softer angle and believe that you were capable of anything. Brent joins his wife, Brigitte, to start their eternal road trip. B&B Together Forever!
Brent is survived by his son Nicholas "Nic" Herbert; daughter Kiera Wilson (Chris); brother Mark Herbert (Tonia); sisters Lois Gibson (Brian) and Laura Schneider (Pete); Sid Gibson; grandchildren Autumn Wilson and Leah Wilson.
