Brent grew up in downtown Haughton and has spent much of his life there surrounded by lifelong friends. He graduated from Haughton High School in 1979. Brent was an accomplished athlete in both football and baseball and was involved in some memorable games during his time there. He enjoyed keeping up with college and professional sports and was an avid NASCAR fan especially of Bobby Labonte. Brent’s family and close friends also knew him for his culinary skills, and it was always a hit when he made his special gumbo, jambalaya, or country style ribs.
Brent had a successful and fulfilling career. He spent a number of years working for Goodyear and later transitioned into the Oil and Gas Industry where had been working as the Wellhead Systems Division Manager at Valveworks USA in Bossier City, LA. His former customers and colleagues still speak highly of his hard work and dedication to getting the job done.
