No words can really express the depth of sadness we feel for the loss of this amazing family member. An incredible father of 2 girls that he adored and the life partner/husband to our beautiful niece that loved him to the moon and back. Taken from us all far too soon, but leaving us with his memory, his zest for life, his talent, and most of all the love he had and showed for his family. They were his world and he wasn't afraid to show it. Donna, Scarlet and Stella...We are all here for you Love Aunty Cathie and Uncle Ron and extended family.

Brent truly saved my life under the bridge at 635 in 1984 our party spot. God put him there so I could accomplish some things for HIM in my life. I’ve touched a few lives, still more to do.

There is an enormous hole in the world and in our hearts where Brent Jones stood. He was fire, passion, relentless tenacity, and possessed an absolutely an unquenchable thirst for life. He was and will remain an inspiration to me and so many others who were lucky enough to have known him. We'll meet him again on the other side, welcomed into his warm presence with a bear hug and a booming laugh. Until then, we will miss him terribly. Donna, our hearts break for you and your girls. We will do anything we can to help and we hope to see you at Brent's celebration in LA. ❤

I will always remember his kindness, laugh/smile combo and how much passion he had for his work and family! He loved both so much. His eyes would light up and his voice would get so excited when talking about both. I will miss him. Sending love to his family and friends who saw him the same way I did. I knew we would be friends within the first minute of meeting him. RIP, Brent. We love you, man!

Such a heavy heart I have. I met Brent when we were pups, in our 20s, back in the high-flyin LA days. He stood out back then - bright eyed, energetic, always had a positive vibe. Everyone loved/loves him. We all KNEW he would achieve his dreams...and then one of them walked into his life, Donna. Thank you, Brent & Donna, for being such shining lights. For living an honest life, raising a beautiful family, taking care of others, pursuing your dreams. It is rare to find people who honor their spark, their light. Brent, we don't understand this AT ALL, but we know you are still with us (but dammit, really, where DID you go?!) Thank you for blessing us all, and for leaving a lasting impression on my soul. Sigh.

I would not be where I am today in my career without Brent Jones. My partners in crime Ron Warner and Steve Rice worked with Brent and his team on many many jobs together for many years, including my favorite job of all time our “Ride of Your Life” campaign which ultimately propelled my career forward more than anything I had done before. No director worked harder or busted thier ass more than Brent. He was just like us, no Hollywood bullshit, name dropping, just a good dude who wanted to make cool things with good people. We had so many adventures together and over time it always felt like working with family. Always a big hug and a smile, a lot of laughs, a little bit of yelling and always fun. I think we got along so good because we grew up in the same era and we liked a lot of the same things as kids, so it was easy to connect on that level. We love you Brent. This is way too soon for you to leave us, but he will never leave our hearts.

Kristie and I are so saddened by the news of Brent’s passing. His Love for his family, those around him, those he barely knew, enthusiasm for life and great character will live on! Losing this guy hits really hard, he will live on as one of the great ones. Big Brent style hugs all around!!
