It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved son, brother, uncle and friend in New Westminster, B.C. on September 30th.

Brent is survived by his loving parents Rodney and Sheila Astle, his sister Nancy (Gary Robillard), Janet (Rob Chenuz) and his brother Craig (JoAnn Graham), eight nephews, seven nieces and numerous friends.
He was born January 28, 1971 at the Royal Inland Hospital. He was a happy child and brought much joy and happiness into the lives of his family. He attended school in Kamloops and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work in 2003. He was currently enrolled at U.B.C. to obtain a Master's Degree. Brent loved learning and his teachers appreciated his inquisitive mind. He reached out to those he helped as a social worker treating them with respect, kindness and patience.

He was an avid hiker, loved nature, animals (especially Crissy and Veronica), cooking, music and all things beautiful and uplifting. Brent was, above all, a gentle spirit - generous, kind, loving, thoughtful and considerate. He was a Big Brother and enjoyed the many hours he served others.

He will always be remembered and lives
on in the hearts of those that loved him.

A special thank you to his friends Tuula Helin and Chris Pyett who loved and supported him and to all those who have shown an outpouring of love to his family.

A private funeral and farewell was held graveside on Wednesday, October 6th, 2010, at Hillside Cemetery.
