To Brent's family:
My heartfelt condolences on the of loss of Brent. I met Brent thrity years ago at a local gym where a small group of insomniacs started their daily routine before the sun rose. For years, we exercised together and he shared stories of his beloved wife, Sandy, their dogs, his children and eventually, grandchildren. He introduced me to his "Little Buddy", Wells, and they both told tales of growing up in "their Deep River". He gave advice, encouragement, and added humor to what otherwise would have been a tedious daily routine. Family was always first in his heart and he spoke lovingly of all of those in his world.
I last spoke with Brent on my birthday, two years ago. He called and reminded me that I was "getting up there" and that he always remembered my birthday because it was the day after his beloved, Stephanie's, special day. Sadly, it was the last time we spoke.
Brent Taylor was a very loyal and special person whose selfless service to our nation and his community touched many lives. If you were Brent's friend, you were his friend for life. May the beautiful memories your family shared with Brent bring you comfort always.
Sincerely.
