Brent was born on July 1, 1987 in Williamsburg, Va., to Mindy Vinson McNaughton. He married Ashley Martin, the love of his life, on May 18, 2019. After moving to Colorado City, Brent owned and operated Premier Sandhills, a waterfowl guide service. Brent was able to do what he loved for a living and share his passion for hunting with hundreds of hunters that had the honor to share the blind with him.
Brent was accomplished at HVAC and often helped anyone in need no matter the time of day with their heating and cooling systems. He was a devoted father who loved his baby girl and never got tired of talking about her or her mother to anyone that would listen. All Brent wanted out of life was to be a father and God blessed him and Ashley with the most precious baby girl that is a perfect combination of the two of them.
