In memory of Brent Elkins.
The summer of 2005, Keile was a newborn, we all loaded up in my little SUV and Brent drove us to Orange Lake in Florida. Every time we passed a BP Gas station he said it was named after him. I will forever be thankful that Brent spent that trip patiently teaching four year old Hope to swim. There are many more good memories, love all of you so much!
Brent’s daughter and my daughter both played on a travel softball team several years ago and he was always so supportive of my daughter and us while we was on the team. I wasn’t in the greatest of health and he and so many other parents on the team always looked after me! Brent your gone way to soon bro! I will keep Mandy and the Girls in my thoughts and prayers for the days and years to come!!! Gone but never Forgotten!!!
Brent was a remarkable classmate! He carried great confidence and showed genuine kindness. My thoughts and prayers of peace and comfort are his family during this time of transition.
Where does one begin when it comes to Brent? Brent was larger than life! The life of any party and a friend like no other. We may have met on a softball field, but our friendship went beyond that. Our families became family and we are going to miss you Brent. I can’t imagine going to the fields and not hearing your voice or seeing you uplifting those little ones with your kind heart. Looking back, you were so in your element when you were out there. I know you will be coaching from the heavens. Until we meet again my sweet friend. We will look after Mandy and the girls.
Sending continued prayers 🙏🏾 to the Elkins family. I worked with Brent at Publix and he was a great man and will be missed.
