Brent put on a badge every day and accepted responsibility of being and officer and a family man. Brent passed away August 6, 2015 and is survived by his wife and 6 children.
Brent was the one to run toward the problem when bad things happened. And now, his family needs your help in the transition.
There are also so many unexpected logistics of managing a family of seven without him.

Please honor Brent by supporting his family who is now facing the reality that Brent is gone. As you can imagine, losing Brent has been nothing less than emotionally devastating for his family, his wife Lisa, and their six kids, Emily 19, Erin 17, Kaley 16, Erik 14, Kyle 12, and Kevin 10.

There are so many opportunities to support the family…. Here's a little about the family.

She plans on going into the Washington State Patrol after graduating college with a double major in bio-cultural anthropology and sociology with a minor in music.

Erin, 17, is a senior at Mount Vernon High School. She has five rabbits that she loves and spoils like crazy. She is fantastic in 4-H, and showing her rabbits.

She describes herself as a fangirl for bands like Green Day and MCR. She also loves anime. She is adorably funny and has the best, most contagious laughter ever. She is kind, vibrant, and creative.

He loves to hang out with a few close friends and play computer and board games. He loves science, collecting Pokemon cards, camping, and playing in the water. Nerf guns and Nerf wars are pretty great too! Kyle has a fabulous sense of humor with an infectious laugh, and loves to give great big hugs.

His favorite movies are the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings series. He is adventuresome, smart, strong-willed, sweet and loving,and full of life!

The whole Hanger family loves going to the beach and going camping. Many weeks have been spent camping, fishing and crabbing on the Oregon coast. The family has a total of eight rabbits, two guinea pigs, and a beagle named Zoey. During the summer, they like to play in their above ground pool in the back yard with friends. They spend a lot of time at the softball field and the kids' musical and sporting events. Church is also a top family priority. The kids are all very active in participation in confirmation and the youth group activities. Some of their favorite memories are of camping, visiting lighthouses along the coast, crabbing, riding in Brent's 1966 Chevelle, shooting bows and guns at the range with dad, and playing in the water at the beach.
