Great Dude! Kind Hearted ,very Uplifting ... miles away from Texas I'm at a loss here ...

Miss you bro!! Brad and Scott just built gios new bike in your memory last night,you would be proud! See you on the other side!

Today I was talking to a friend about BMX racing and thought to myself I wonder what some old family friends are up to?  Then came across this extremely saddening news.  

I knew the Sterriker’s from church way back when.  Tim Sr. and my dad played in the band for the church and we used to spend a little time with them every so often.  What a great family!  

We didn’t really stay in touch through the years but I saw Brent out at ninth street with his truck/shop a few times and ran into Tim Jr at the pump track once or twice.   Although I never met their growing families, the posts here show that Brent had a wonderful relationship with his wife and son.  As well as filling many lives with joy through the years from just being a rad human!   

My heart goes out to y’all and I hope you find peace through this hard time. 

With love from the Davis family.

Brent was the most generous neighbor and loving father and husband. In his tragically short life he outclassed us all by the widest margin-always putting others before himself, fully dedicated to the BMX community and youth programs, and forever smiling. Amber and Max, we are thinking of you and will remember Brent as someone who will remain unmatched, in our generation and forever after. 

As Brent's maternal Grandparents Nancy and I we're so very proud of Brent and his love for others. He expressed his love for others in a unique and humble way by simply being himself. I believe he loved Lord Jesus as his personal Redeemer, if he didn't he would not have respected me enough to let me send my Great Grandson Max  each and every month DVD episodes in cartoon form of God's Holy Word, Bible Stories that a young child like Max can understand, for over three years straight. My prayer is that little Max can find Lord Jesus some day also.  Amber please contact us. We love you and miss you very much. We only wish and pray for God's best for you and Max. Hyland and Nancy Cobb 

Great guy! We had him crash out at our track. Great guy to take photos of, he always rode well. Good to everyone I know of. Godspeed. 

I'm at a loss for words. As kids Brent and his brother, Tim Jr, would show me their BMX bikes and tell me how much they enjoyed it. They were always so excited and passionate about it! As they got older I'd hear about their competitions, injuries, businesses they'd started, kids they'd inspired and sponsored, and I was always impressed.

Brent was passionate about racing and a big part of the community. He inspired and encouraged others around him. He loved his family and friends. He was a good man who is loved by so many, and he'll be greatly missed.

So incredibly sad to see this today, to his  many friends and family you  are in my thoughts and prayers. He treated my son and his bike with great service and helpfulness. He went above and beyond to receive, assemble, disassemble and ship back to us in California when he was visiting several summers ago.  
Forever grateful 


I find this so hard to believe...  Wow, he was  really one of the good ones, we moved from Ohio to Texas and I had the pleasure of working with him at Penske for only a short time.  But it was long enough to make a Freind. He was a good Dood,loved yanking his chain and he would throw it right back, we had fun! There's no doubt he would help with anything if I asked him. He offered for my Wife and I to come over for dinner but we ended up heading back to Ohio and never got to. I am at a loss here even 1400 miles away my heart is broken... R. I. P  Freind....  I'll see you again some day... 

It is with great sadness that I share our fond memories of Brent.  He invited Christian to ride on both PC Bmx.net and Striker Wheels teams.  He was his coach, his mentor, his bike repair guy but most importantly, he was our family friend.   
I hope we all realize how precious life is and how quickly it can be taken away.   He leaves a huge void in the BMX community and our thoughts and prayers go out to Amber and Max forever.


My husband Mark & I remember  bringing Brent home from church with us from time to time with our son Steven when they were both about 5.  We would drive through the car wash and they would both be scared of the machinery and brushes moving over the car.   As Brent grew he became courageous on the bike tracks but remained as precious and huggable as ever.   We miss you Brent, and honor your humble courage!  We are so happy to know with confidence that Brent had a saving relationship with Jesus and now enjoying His presence.  We pray  blessings and limitless comfort from Holy Spirit to everyone in his family.  Love Mark, Roseanna, Steven, Victoria, Robert 

My earliest fond memory of Brent was church nursery. He was the cutest, sweetest baby. We all fought to take him and play with him. He was all giggles and hugs. We are so heartbroken at this tremendous loss. See you in heaven some day. Love. 

Thank you Brent for giving Max his first bike upgrade and inspiring him to ride.  You were definitely an influencer!

   I have been the neighborhood FedEx guy for a number of years, delivering to Brent's shop at both addresses 800 pecan as well as 200 east and later (off route) to his home when something came across the truck with former address.  Brent was always upbeat and would pause building a wheel or talking to a customer to say a quick hello and throw tips on what to look for in shopping for a mountain bike (at the time I thought I could beat down a trail on a walmart special lol boy did he set me straight)   .  
        After finally finding a suitable mtb Brent asked to send him a pic and immediately without prompting instructed "bring it to my house, already see a few adjustments I gotta make to get you trail ready".   
   When the day came to pick up my newly tuned bike Brent gave an extensive walk through of all he did to get it up to snuff,  even down to properly mounting the bike, posture and hand positioning.  Then we talked injuries, therapy... all at the cost of a handshake.  Just an all around great warm caring guy.   His parents give out the same vibe , a happy cool family that I have always enjoyed delivering to.    Brent's passing came at such a shock.  My heart goes out to his wife, son, parents and loved ones.

Brent, man still cant wrap my mind around you going on home so soon. You will definitely be missed. Maybe go fishing with Jesus and toss a fish in his lap, hahaha you had Willis and I cracking up. Ride on up there brother!

We are new to the area so didn't have the good fortune to have as many interactions with Brent as so many of you. But, like tons of others, Brent was one of the first people we met. And, of course, he was available to help us. He built us up a few bikes, tuned a few more, and built us a couple sets of wheels. Hanging out in the Sterriker garage was like being in a BMX jam with all the greats. We met all sorts of folks while we hung out watching Brent get things done. Brent was a connector. He linked folks up selflessly and helpfully. 

At the Houston national this spring, a park rider approached Jack and started raving about Jack's red carbon striker wheels laced up on his screaming profile elites. He went on and on about how much respect he had for Brent's work and texted Brent to say he ran into us and by the way, could he get some Striker Wheels stickers. Brent was world wide. 

We've been around BMX for quite a while and never felt more welcome than in our time with Brent. Brent, like his mentor and dear friend Big Alfred Freeman, was an ambassador for Austin, Texas, and global BMX. Thanks for sharing him with us Amber. Our hearts ache with you. ❤️


I first got to know Brent and Amber when I moved to Austin for work. Every week we had so much fun hanging out at the track, joking, and just having fun. There was a road trip with the Austin crew to DeSoto that wouldn’t have been nearly as fun without them! Brent was such a caring, good person and would go out of his way to help anyone who needed it. He cherished his family, and was so proud of Amber and all of her accomplishments. He loved Amber and Max more than anything. He was the best dad to Max, and would grin ear to ear whenever he was around. I was proud to have a friend like Brent. The photo I attached is him and I with the bike he built for me a few years ago, wheels and all. He is holding his son, Max. 

Brent and Amber were so young and so lovely. Someone forgot to put gas in the car, they just needed a lift, for that short time we spent together, Brent talked and treated me like I was someone so special, After we enjoyed lunch together and I delivered Brent and Amber to their destination,  all gassed up. Brent tried to pay me ,which I refused, later I found that payment stashed in my car. It was his duty you see to take care of him and his love.
Such integrity and genuine caring for one so young. 
Brent your smile warm and real was never held back every time I saw you, no matter when or where.
You will be missed, rest. 
We'll never be the same because you touched all our lives.
Friends from Life and Life Church!


When I first came to the area a few months ago, Brent was one of the first people I met and he always had such a great outlook on everything in life. He helped introduce me to so many great people and his involvement in the community was inspiring to everyone he came in contact with. It's sad to see such a great person go so soon. Ride in peace, Brent. You'll be remembered.  

Brent was a huge asset to our beloved bicycle community since the early 2000’s. It’s rare not to see his logo on a bike and if you see it, you know it was built specifically for that rider right here in Pflugerville, Tx. 
The growth of our cycling community is largely an affect of Brent’s passion to make sure everyone that he had a conversation with, loved riding their bike. 
Aside from two wheels, Brent was a family man that endured his wife Amber, and his son Max. 
It’s rare to find a partner in life at a young age and Brent and Amber are the exception. High school sweethearts till the end. Showing the world that love can be forever. 
Our community is in mourning from the sudden loss of our dear friend, but we can look back on so many great times sharing a passion together and know that Brent was included in them all. 
Ride In Peace my friend.

We took our son Tucker to Central Texas BMX for the first time over 3 years ago. We met Brent and he helped us get Tucker's first race bike. Tucker was 3 at the time. Once Tucker started racing which then I started racing, Brent brought us on his team. He built both of our bikes. Brent also let us add a Jersey for his team that helped us get American Soldier Network's name out. If it wasn't for him, the team of American Soldier Network probably would not have started. He was well known in the BMX community and volunteered his time at the track helping new riders get into the sport.  It was a pleasure to know him and his family, even watching him and his wife race each other.  RIP Brent.  Tucker and I say thank you.

Brent was the first person to welcome us to our BMX racing family when we started, his friendliness and dedication to new riders at our local track is going to be impossible to match. Countless bits of advice and coaching for our boys will never be forgotten. Brent you are a legend among men. Ride fast and Rest In Peace. 

Brent helped us from the beginning. Sure he built us wheels, but he was there when it counted. Wether you had a flat between motos or needed a tool or gearing advice- he was there. You could call his cell, go to his home shop or actual shop.  You can't talk about Texas BMX and not include Brent.  My family prays for your family Brent. The Law will proudly run your wheels for many years! And then they will hang on his wall.

Brent has been such inspiration in our lives. When my son Gio wrecked badly on his first day ever on the track, he wanted to quit. Brent told him” your not quitting today”, he took Gio back on the track with the TO Jason Crouch and they both mentored him for a good while and Gio over came the fear of falling again and came in second in his race. Ever since then we’ve all had such a good friendship with Brent, Amber and Max. Not to mention he built almost every bike Gio has had. He will be missed dearly. RIP dear friend. 

Brent was one of the first people we met when my son started BMX. He took my son under his wing, bringing him in his team (Striker), coached him and was a huge cheerleader for my son when he needed to be uplifted at a race. He will be forever missed and loved. We will treasure our Striker jersey!
