In December 1978, when Brent was working as a bouncer in the bar at the Holiday Inn, he met his future wife. They met right before Christmas and tried to find a place for their date but it proved to be a challenge with the busy holiday season, they would eventually have their date at a piano bar and the rest would be history. Brent and Linda would later marry on August 20, 1982, they celebrated their 40th anniversary this year. Brent will always be remebered for his love of the outdoors, fishing, story telling, jokes, his amazing sense of humour and his all embracing bear hugs. He would share his amazing kitchen knowledge and culinary skills he'd picked up from his mother (Anna- Marie) and would always see to it that no one would ever go hungry on his watch. He was an absolute wealth of knowledge and loved the chance to share the things he'd learned with anyone especially his children. Brent will forever live on in the hearts of his family. He is survived by his wife Linda, his children Brent (Lisa), Trevor (Shannon) and Jennifer (Brad), his grandchildren Alyssa, Dylan, Avery, Liam, Chase, Keeganne and Ainslynn, his father Neilson Greentree, his sister Karen (Bob), his brother Darryl (Melissa) as well as his nieces, his nephews, brothers- in-law, sisters-in-law as well as his extended family and all of his friends.
