Brent Hansen

When I began working for Convergys I had the privileged of an amazing trainer/coach. His name was Brent and he was an all around wonderful guy. He teased me a lot. He used to tell me I could make big bucks as a adult phone operator because I have a sexy phone voice. he cracked me up. He lost his life and I am so sad. Even though I haven't seen him for several years and did not know him well I am absolutely heartbroken for his wife and 5 young children. His baby is just 6 months old. He was on a motorbike Thursday night with his 6 year old daughter. it was about 9:45 P.M. and I can only assume he was probably taking her for a quick ride, they were close to where his family lives. An idiot drunk driver hit him and his daughter. I am just ill. From what I understand he was able to shield his daughter with his own body, saving her life. She was not seriously injured. Such a senseless waste that he is gone and his wife and children have a life without him because some idiot chose to drink and drive, then flee the scene of an accident. The idiot has a  long rap sheet. He is now in jail facing vehicular manslaughter charges, whatever happens to him it will never bring Brent back. I hope his family can find peace from our loving Heavenly Father. Brent and his wife are LDS and married in the Temple. I know the plan of salvation is true and am grateful of the knowledge his wife and children will be with him for eternity.
