Legend and Trail
Master
of Bootleg
Canyon has lost his battle with complications
from the Quadruple Bypass surgery he underwent in
January.
While surgery went well and Brent
was coherent and talking after recovery, a
series of
post-operative strokes took him back to the
Intensive Care Unit where he eventually
succumbed to complications from the surgery.
Brent's son Barret was at his side with
relatives as his condition worsened. "Brent
appreciated and
was aware of all of the love and support that
the mountain bike industry
has shown through this difficult time" said
Barret. "There's been an outpouring of
emotion and support from all of his friends
and the industry,
and we're making plans for a memorial event
to be held at Bootleg Canyon over St.
Patrick's Day Weekend (March 14-15.)"
Please Continue to Support Brent Through PayPal Donations
Barret can still use financial support as
there are many loose ends to tie up. Please
continue to support the cause by donating to
the paypal account listed above.
Stay tuned for more information, and make
plans to attend the memorial for Brent
Thomson at Bootleg Canyon over the March
14-15th weekend.
Thanks Brent for all the good times. We'll
miss you and think of you when we are out on
the trails. Peace.
