There are no words to say to even begin to help you with your pain. I never met Brent, but if he was anything like his father Winn or his sister Carmen, he must have been an amazing man. My love to his family during this unbelievable loss. ❤

Dear Wink, Diane and family,
My heart is truly broken. I remember Brent as a young man at the 2001 Wynhamer family reunion. What a joy! Paul and I had so much fun playing games with all the cousins. He loved the “pigs” game. What a blessing that I was able to talk to him on the phone the last time I was at your house. He will be so missed by so many. Love you guys Linda & Paul Wynhamer
Carmen Merghart

Dearest Tonja and family,
To say that I was shocked to hear of Brent’s passing is an understatement. I spoke to him almost everyday because of work. He made me laugh every time we spoke. I enjoyed listening to Brent and Tonja joke with each other because the love they shared shined through. I especially appreciate that he was so proud of his wife and children. Please know that he loved you all so very much and let anyone and everyone know.
Brent spoke boldly of his faith and his love for God. I know how very hard it is to lose a family member. The feelings can be so overwhelming. When it becomes too much, remember that Brent is in Paradise with our Lord and Savior. I hope you can find some peace in that knowledge.
I was beyond blessed that God allowed Brent to be a part of my life. Love to Tonja, his children, and the rest of the family.
