April 23, 1956 – August 15, 2009
Brent passed away quietly in his sleep at his home in Saanich. Predeceased by his father, David Huggins. He leaves his dear friend, companion and love, Joelene Heathcote; their sons, Ieuan (3) and Madoc (1 month); his mother, Meryl and brother, Craig. He will be remembered fondly by numerous other relatives and friends in Canada and the U.K. Brent lived his whole life in Victoria. He attended Oak Bay High School and the University of Victoria. For the past 22 years, he had worked for Airgas Canada Inc. as a gas applications representative. He was an avid sportsman and was particularly keen on the game of rugby which he played and coached for many years with the Castaway Wanderers Rugby Club. Fishing was another passion and he loved spending time at the helm of the “Wahoo Boy”. Although Brent had children late in life, his greatest happiness was his family, who gave him love and a sense of purpose.
There will be a private family memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Heart & Stroke Foundation of B.C., #107 – 1001 Cloverdale Ave., Victoria, BC V8X 4C9 or a charity of your choice.

I went through high school with Brent and always admired his sweet personality. I was so saddened to hear about his passing last night at our class 35th reunion. Rest in peace Brent and my condolences to all who loved you.
Dear Meryl , Joelene , Craig and extended family.
I was beside myself when I heard the sad news.
I will always cherish many memories of Brent,,,
He had great sense of humor ,,, his “one liners ” always had me rolling over in laughter!
Brent was a true gentleman ( rare these days)
putting others first and would be there whenever you needed a helping hand.
I treasure the time he took my son fishing ( caught a salmon within 10 minutes!)

I am truly blessed to have known Brent and greatful that the LORD took him peacefully.
I will continue to pray for comfort for the family and his young children.
