Serving as a sweep at an endure race in Union S.C., Brent suffered a fatal heart attack and spent his last moments on this earth holding onto the handlebars of a motorcycle.
Exactly the way he’d want to go-just a couple of decades too soon.
Brent was born in Logan Utah, the eldest of 6 children.
He graduated from Saxonburg HS in Butler PA, attended the Univ. of Utah.
Earning his Associates degree and then moving back to the Midwest.
Where he exercised his artistic talent in the Chicago area, designing and
constructing outdoor living environments. He had MOTORS, indelibly embossed on his mind and heart from an early age, If it had a motor, he loved it!!
He met his life’s love, Laurie Kasperski, when she caught his eye at a retail store and the rest is history.
He never waivered in his Love and devotion to Laurie and their two beautiful daughters, Casie Marie (19yo) and Haley Clare (13 yo). If there is one word that sums up Brent’s larger-than-life Personality, it is PASSION! He was passionate about everything he did, knew about, worked on or was responsible for.
