My thoughts and prayers are with Brents family, I had worked with Brent for many years at McFry Excavating, when he came to the company as an apprentice, he learned well from us older Journeymen, and did very well for the company after the old guys were gone, I also had the priveledge to have Brent work with my company -SNOW-BUSTERS, This guy was like Superman, whether it was shoveling sidewalks in the deep snow for many hours, or plowing Snow with a Bobcat or a pickup, he always did a great job, Brent will be missed by many, I'm sure of it, I do know that Brent loved his son Jake, was very proud of him, Big Guy This caught me off guard with your passing, Hope our paths cross again someday

Our prayers are with all of you in this time of loss. Brent was one of the best pitchers I have ever seen at the high school level. When you look up the definition of what it means to be a Great Teammate and a Great Competitor and Great Friend you will find his name. We all have many Great memmories of Brent and the Patzner family. I will never forget the rides to the legion games in the big Van with Brad driving so we could speed and I will never forget the time we beat Hutchinson and were trying to leave Carey Park and some of their team was trying to block us in on main street and Brent slid the van door open and hurled an 80 mph plus fastball at their car! He will truly be missed but he will never be forgotten! I loved playing with that big dude! May he rest in peace!

Brent had such a big heart. He always looked out for the little guy, which was me and he always had your back. He was a competitor to be feared on the field, but a guy who would listen if you had a problem. We lost a good one. Rest in peace big guy.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to family and friends. You couldn't ask for a better teammate & friend then Brent. He always had a big smile and positive attitude. He will surely be missed. I will always treasure the great memories we created at GBHS and BCCC. Sending prayers.

We will miss you cousin! - Rick

Jake, Shelby, Brad, Joe and Pat. Only time not words will be able to ease the pain. Your Father, Brother, Son and my dear Friend had one of the biggest personalities and spirits I have ever known. I choose to remember the guy that when he walked in was immediately noticed or if you didn’t notice, would hear his booming voice and boisterous laugh. It is not our place to question but heaven has their hands full. I already and will always miss him. My condolences Alvin
