Brent was born on January 7, 1994 to Kevin and Lou Anne Sanborn. Everyone who knows Brent knows he was driven to succeed. He was competitive. He was a hard worker. He was an “all-in” kind of guy.
It didn’t matter whether it was baseball or business; school or skiing, investing or entrepreneurial ventures; Brent was all-in.
Brent graduated from Granbury High School in 2012. Brent graduated Summa Cum Laude from Texas Tech with a Master’s degree in Accounting in May of 2017. He was the president of his fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi. He invested in houses, sold real estate and subsequently owned his own business before he was 24 years old. Brent worked hard to be successful and he was successful, but that is not the important thing to remember. The important thing to remember about his accomplishments was that he wanted to share his success with others.
Don’t dwell on how Brent died. Remember how Brent lived.

Brent is survived by his parents: Kevin and Lou Anne Sanborn, twin sister: Brittany Sanborn, sister: Brooke Sanborn, grandmothers: Nina Sherley and Bette Lovewell, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
