I am so very sorry for your loss. Brent was a one-of-a-kind man who always put a smile on my face and the faces of everyone else around him. I loved his quick wit and his laughter. All my prayers for you - his loving and treasured family.

Janet, Angela & Sara,
I have no words for the loss of your husband and daddy. My whole heart aches for all of you. I was so saddened by the news of his passing and immediately heard his laugh in my ears. We have been a part of your families lives for over 30 years and have been through some good and tough times but I never forgot if I ever needed something no matter how large or small your family would have been there for mine. Brent gave my cousin Georgiana a job right out of high school to help her out. She talked of him often right up until her untimely passing, they are probably laughing over past times right now!! Brent also gave my daddy extra work plumbing tubs to help our family in hard times. The blessings Brent bestowed on the people he loved and some he did not know was emense. I don't think he ever met a stranger. We sure lost a great man on Earth and Heaven gained an angel. My deepest thoughts and condolences are with you all in this time of great sorrow. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26

Love you all very much, may the song "Jealous of the Angels" give you peace by Donna Taggart

My deepest sympathies to the Lewis Family in their loss of Brent. I was one of many people he employed through the years and greatly appreciate his business acumen and passion for various construction enterprises. We and all our families benefited from his life's work and are so very grateful. Personally, my fondest memory of Brent is when he took me out the gun club to shoot out some targets. I was a rookie gun owner and he was anxious to share in his knowledge of handling a firearm. Brent, I believe you will get this message somehow, THANK YOU. And may God's grace cover Janet and your children as we commend you into the loving arms of our savior Jesus Christ.
