I was greatly saddened by the news of Brent's passing. It took me a while before I could write something here. He was a great friend, coworker and a great man. I miss him dearly and often think of him. My deepest sympathies go to Champlin family for their loss.

To the family of Brent Champlin,
I wanted to express my deep sympathy for your loss. I too lost a loved one in death recently and know the pain that it brings. I wanted to share with you something that brought me much comfort. It is the hope that the Bible holds out for our loved ones. At John 5:28, 29 Jesus Christ promised that there will be a resurrection of the dead. When he was on earth he proved that he had the power and the will to do just that. Also Revelation 21:3,4 promises that God will wipe away tears, pain, sorrow and even death. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a time when we would not face the sorrow that we have now? If you would like to know more about these promises, feel free to contact me. Again accept my sympathy for your loss.
Sincerely,
Diana Fryer

Kim,
I was so shocked and saddened for you when Marcy told me about Brent. My heart aches for your loss. I know that you loved him very much and he was your best friend.
Brent was discussed recently with Marcy's son Andrew. He found out that Brent liked a computer game that he liked as well. Andrew had just asked Marcy what level Brent was on. This makes me cry for you. He is at the highest level now.
There is nothing I can say to you to make you feel better. I wish I could. I believe in Angels, and I think that you will always have an Angel looking out for you and your children.
I did not get to know you at Gallagher as much I would have liked before I left. Marcy thinks highly of you. I hope that we can go to lunch sometime in the future with Jim and Marcy.
I hear Jim has been a great help to you. I think it was your fate to come to Gallagher in order to meet him. He will be a lifelong friend to you.
My Deepest Sympathy and Prayers are with you and your children at this time.

I was saddened to hear of Brent's passing. I was friends with Brent during Junior High at May Goodrell. I remember when him and his friend would ride bikes to visit at my grandparents. My sympathy goes out out to his Wife and kids and family.

To Brent's family.
I am sorry for your family's loss. Brent was a neat person.
I will always remember Brent as an enthusiastic member of the four wheel drive community here in Iowa.
Brent was also a past president of the Iowa Association of Four Wheel Drive Clubs, Inc.. And a great one at that.

My heartfelt condolences to everyone in Brent's family. We were very shocked to hear about his passing. In the time's that Brent was around our family we always enjoyed him. He had a gift for making you laugh and was just a joy. Even though our paths have not crossed in some time he would come to mind when I cooked or something I saw or maybe said. There may have been a comment from Brent and that would make me think of him. Brent will be so missed. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Jim and Linda Pearson (parents of Tara Pearson-Davis)
