Our condolences goes out to all the Holt families in the passing of their dad Brent who will be dearly missed by many and for are brother Bert Brent was a very loving brother cherish all those dear memories Love all the Pearsons
I knew Brent, in his last years and not terribly well, because Bert, who lived with him, was my home teaching companion. But I saw that Brent was not afraid to make decisions, and to carry them out. The decisions I saw were made in kindness, based on love for others, and in response to the necessities of life. He blessed those around him. I have a hunch that when he meets the Savior, it will be with open arms.
Rick, Lynn and Susan : Our deepest sympathy & love goes out to you and your families Brent was a pillar of strength& he was a kind and loving man. Harold and I send our love to you this day and always. Love: Harold and Janet Hayes

I was sorry to hear of Brent's passing. It seemed so sudden. I had the privilege of visiting Brent and Burt each month as their ministering brother from the Church. I was always treated kindly by both and enjoyed visiting with them. Brent seemed like a very caring person and I know that family meant everything to him. May you find comport in knowing that he lived a good life and that he is with family now. I am sure that he is enjoying being with those of his family who have passed on before and they are so happy to see him.
To all of Brent's family, I am so sorry for your loss. I met Brent thru Susan a couple of years ago and even tho I didn't know him well I was so impressed with the love he had for all of you. He was so good to my family that lived by Susan also. My son thought the world of him.He was a special person. My prayers go out to all of you, I know he will be greatly missed.
