We are very sorry to hear about his passing. The family will be in our prayers. -The Reinzans
One of my most favorite memories (I have a lot, but this one always cracks me up). When Brandon, Brent and I were all living together in college, I decided for Brent's birthday that I would decorate our stairway with Balloons, streamers, etc. so that when woke up - he would walk out of his room and see all of the fun decorations, and be surprised! (Our bedrooms where all on the upper floor of the townhouse we lived in) So, early in the morning, I hear his door open, and then a loud thud....and some explicit words LOL! Turns out he stepped directly on one of the balloons I had placed in our little foyer and almost twisted his ankle, and in an attempt to stay up and not fall down the stairs, he grabbed and ripped some of the birthday streamers down....LOL! So.....he started laughing afterwards, and then dubbed the whole experience his birthday booby trap set by Kasey LOL.....a few days later within the week.....he got me back....he had a life size Darth Vador cardboard standup.....so one night after I had gone to bed, he placed the Darth Vador cardboard stand up right at my doorway....so when I left to go to school, I opened my bedroom door and bam! Darth welcomed me, scared me half to death and then I hear Brent chuckling from his room....he opened his bedroom door about an inch and said "I win" .....and then closed it and just kept laughing.....

So many good memories! He was always my protector and so much fun with such a BIG BIG heart!
