I just learned of Brent's passing. Reading all of the heartfelt tributes brought back many fond memories of my first RCMP posting in Piccadilly NL where Brent and I met. Brent was NCO i/c and a huge mentor to me. I will always remember his humour, competence and kindness. A life well lived indeed.

To family and friends of Brent we are so sorry to hear of his passing. I spent many hours talking and sharing stories with Brent over the years. We both worked in Piccadilly Detachment over the years and these were times when we had much in common. He was a fun guy to be around with a wonderful memory for storytelling. May her rest in peace.

I was a very young RCMP constable posted at St. George, NB when I met Brent. Due to both of us being Cape Breton boys, we hit it off right away. Brent, who was on General Investigation Section, soon became my idol and how I wanted to become an investigator like him. We became good friends to the point where Brent was the best man at our wedding. Although he has passed on, he will always be in our hearts and memories.

In 1979 Brent was transferred to Sanikiluaq, NWT. These 2 orphaned polar bear cubs were brought to the RCMP station and were taken care of in our home. They were bathed, bottle fed and even had diapers put on. Quite the experience for his first year in the north.

I just lost a schoolmate and a very good friend. Although we lost contact with each other early in our careers, we found one another in retirement. When we graduated from high school, neither of us would have predicted we would both live in Newfoundland, go figure.
I'll miss ourphone calls and visites "old buddy", RIP.

Sending deepest condolences to Marilyn and family. We were Brent’s neighbours for approximately 10 years in Steady Brook up to 2011. During that time we got to know him and the wonderful soul he was, his sense of humour, love of dogs, and love for gardening and barbecuing. He made our children feel so welcome and had an open door policy to drop by any time with our dog Shiloh who he spoiled with affection and treats. We knew we could depend on him if needed and he always had a smile. He will be missed by many including us.
Sincerely, Michele and Alex Gill

New Brent during his his many years of service in New Brunswick commencing when he lived in the village of Gagetown, NB. He was one of a kind both in his service and personality. A character who was always kind to all who crossed his path. A true friend to many and a force to be reckoned with. His door was always open to all where a coffee or an adult beverage was always on the counter. We met during our early years in the Force and he had a positive effect on my career. Rest in peace old friend. Life is indeed very short as I read of your passing much too soon but I guess a fact of life. Until we meet again. Mark Fleming- St Stephen, NB

To Brent's family & friends. Linda & I send our sincere thoughts and prayers to you all on your loss. Brent was a great guy who would always stop to chat about work and leisure. I enjoyed reading his nephew ( Matt McGuire's) sincere thoughts and tributes about Brent. He certainly described Brent's life well; family, friends, fishing, food, career, and a little drink. Keep these special memories close as you support each other through this difficult time. Rest in peace Brent.

My condolences to the family and extended family and friends of Brent. I had the opportunity to work with him on major crime investigations in NB many years ago. He was dedicated and effective investigator, a great team player and fun guy to work with.
May he rest in peace. Mike Connolly

Brent and I worked together as partners in the RCMP’s General Investigation Section at Fredericton, NB in the mid 70’s. The stories I could tell of the shenanigan's he and I pulled while working cases. It was different times and police work was much more fun then. We worked hard and played hard. I learnt a lot from Brent. Sorry to hear of his passing and my condolences to his loved one’s.

My Uncle Brent passed away on February 13. I didn’t expect to hear this news, and I’ve spent the day thinking about him.
Uncle Brent served as an RCMP officer for many years in NB and then Newfoundland. He was proud of that, and I’m proud of that, too. He loved dogs and people - and they loved him. I vaguely remember his German shepherd, King, and of course, the first dog I ever loved - Tugger. Uncle Brent had a radiance about him that people were naturally drawn to.
Lizzy Gresh and I were fortunate to visit with him in Nfld. when Liz was pregnant with Quinn, our first child. After a few nights in St. John’s, we took the bus across Nfld. to Uncle Brent’s house in Cornerbrook.
When we were staying with Uncle Brent, he put on the ritz. When we arrived, he showed us to our room and told us he was going to start dinner. We soon learned that he stocked up on the Nfld. essentials. He made us cod tongue one night, and an amazing salted cod chowder the following evening. It was absolutely delicious and we felt like we really experienced authentic Nfld. cuisine. (I don’t know how often Uncle Brent cooked, but he sure did roll out the red carpet for us.) Uncle Brent also took us out to a beautiful restaurant overlooking the bay. One of our favourite memories was when he arranged for his friend Greg to take us up the Cornerbrook ski hill - Marble Mountain - where the views were breathtaking.
On our last night, while we were taking a walk around his homestead, he pointed out and cursed at a hornet’s nest that hung under the roof. He said it had been there all summer. Of course, we’d had a couple rums, so I was feeling quite confident that I could remedy this problem for him. I told him I’d take the hornet’s nest down with a shovel. He tried to convince me not to try. I went inside, dawned myself with pants, long-sleeve shirt, and a hat. Then I wrapped a t-shirt around my face, leaving only enough room for me to see. I walked out to the shed with Brent watching from the window. With a bit of liquid courage, I quickly scooped off the nest from the roof and darted as fast as I could down Uncle Brent’s street like a thief in the night. He laughed and laughed. When I returned, he said he was going to have to call the neighbours to let them know it was his nephew, and not a hooligan running though their streets.
Uncle Brent was an avid fisherman (and he told stories like a fisherman, too). I have some great memories from my time spent with Uncle Brent, like this one:
My brother, Andrew and I loved to fish with Uncle Brent. One day while we were fishing, Andrew decided to go to the store. While he was out, my Uncle Brent ran into the house, grabbed a salmon he had just caught and tagged, and hooked it on the end of my fishing rod. My brother loved to fish as a kid, and he always took pride in catching a bigger fish than me. You can imagine the look on Andrew’s face when he rolled up in the driveway and saw his 8 year old brother with a huge salmon on the end of his rod. We had a good laugh over that one.
Another story he once told us is that, as both RCMP and salmon fisherman, he led Pierre Trudeau down the Miramichi River in a canoe. The story involved Uncle Brent and our former Prime Minister having such a good time that their boat capsized!
Our visit to Uncle Brent’s house in Cornerbrook rekindled our relationship. The next year when Quinn was born, uncle Brent came to visit us in Fredericton. While in town, Brent told me that the one thing he had to do was to get a steak at the infamous Red Lantern Tavern. I was happy to take him to lunch there, as it is one of my favourite places in Fredericton. He was so proud that the staff knew me by name!
The next year, we were honoured to have Uncle Brent join us at our wedding in Rothesay, NB. He drove all the way from Nfld. just to see us get married, and then he drove back after visiting home for a few days.
Lizzy and I stayed in touch with Uncle Brent through phone calls every so often. We shared a passion for the Blue Jays and we would often “coach” them over the phone together from our respective armchairs.
We will miss him. A lot.
Matt McGuire
