Brent’s funeral costs

Donation protected
Hi I’m shanelle I’ve been a long time friend of Brent and his family. Anyone that knows him knows he’s charismatic, he’s an absolute giver and he’s a comedian at heart. Unfortunately he’s suffering right now. He collapsed yesterday and ended up in the hospital. Things took a turn for the worst this morning and now he is fighting for his life in the ICU. Brent has family coming from different states right now. His sister Shelly is flying from Denver. Brother Donald is coming from California. His dad is on his way from Oregon. The doctors are doing everything they can but we got news that odds are very much against him. We all still have hope, but no matter where fate lands us this is going to be a significant financial struggle on the family; travel costs, time taken off work, unexpected hospital bills, food,etc and we’re hoping and praying for no funeral costs, and if anything is left over it will be going to Jessica and Milo. Thank you so much to everyone that donates.

Doctors warned us Brent might not make it through the night. We had hope and the power of prayer as our only source of guidance and strength, and unfortunately Brent just didn’t have anymore fight left in him. He had a pulmonary embolism and a stroke which then caused extreme swelling of his brain, and with no neurological function he passed. Now he had family, friends, and loved ones surrounding him he had people praying and sending love from all over. He has been running and fighting for so long he’s finally at peace. He’s with his mom and you know he’s a giant mamas boy! With that being said what we were dreading has happened and his family is gonna need us to come together and help with funeral/ cremation costs, if you can no dollar amount goes unnoticed if you cant right now that’s okay too please just share. These are amazing people that have enough going on and if we can just help with the financial aspect that can alleviate some of the stress. We all know Brent has a son he loves unconditionally so again anything else raised will go to Milo and Jessica.
Milo would love to send out personal thank you cards so if anyone wants one please send your contact info/ address to Jessica matzen or Shelly Naftel

Thank you everyone and rest in paradise Brent ❤️
