I am so very sorry to hear about Brent, May God Comfort you all during this difficult time, sending love and strength XoXo❤️🙏🏻
Brent, you are so missed in the halls of Northshore Middle School by both staff and students. Our team of three is down to two and we are heartbroken. When we couldn’t find you in your office, we knew you were in the gym with a basketball in your hand…probably challenging a kid to a shooting contest, trash talking the whole time! I will miss our friendly Coug/Husky rivalry. You supported me in the tough job of guiding middle schoolers and were always willing to listen and share ideas. I will miss that. Rest in peace and will you never miss a three point shot again. Love, Christy
We hope your many happy memories lighten your hearts during this difficult time.
Love,
Henry, Mary & Caiomhe

We did not know Mr Holm, but reading the obituary and comments, it is so obvious our district lost a shining star and I grieve for the students and teachers and family that miss him. May his memory be a blessing and inspiration to all of you.
Brent Holm, or as I know him as, Mr. Holm was my 6th grade health teacher, and did wonderful at his job. He will be dearly missed by me, his family, his friends, and other students.

mr.homes was a very nice teacher at our school supporting all students and memders hee was always a lay of light when he came into a room also being a student he was very kind to me Mr. Homes was an exceptional teacher at our school, known for his unwavering support of all students and staff members. His presence could light up a room, and he had an amazing ability to make everyone feel valued and appreciated. Whenever he entered a classroom, his positive energy was infectious, creating an atmosphere of enthusiasm and encouragement.
As a student, I personally experienced his kindness firsthand. He took the time to listen to our concerns, offered guidance when we faced challenges, and always celebrated our successes, no matter how small. Mr. Homes not only imparted knowledge but also fostered a sense of community among us, making learning enjoyable and meaningful. His dedication to our growth created an environment where we felt safe to express ourselves and strive for our best. I am grateful for the impact he had on my life and the lives of so many others.
Mr. Holm was my 6th-grade basketball teacher, and he was amazing. Even though we never one a game, I had fun the entire time. He even bought us donuts! It will be hard playing school basketball this year and not having him as my coach.
Dear Hasse, Noreen and family.
My deepest condolences for your loss.
Mr Holm you are such a cool teacher at NMS. I am so sorry for the loss. I am so grateful to have you as my teacher. We will always miss you and remember you Mr Holm.
Our hearts go out to you and your family and we hope you can find strength in all your wonderful memories.
Your friends,
John & Nancy
I had Mr Holm for 6th grade health and my brother had him for advisory when he attended NMS. we both got to experience how kind he was to all students and he always made time to help someone if they needed it. I remember him asking me about my brother all the time he got me talking even when I was a shy 6th grader.
Mr Holm welcomed me and my friends with a open heart and mind when we entered 6th grade last year. He will truly be missed in the NMS halls.
R.I.P Mr Holm.
Its no surprise to me reading about the man Brent grew up to be. I was Brent’s babysitter and even as a child he had a great sense of humor and a bright personality. Hans, Noreen and family my heart goes out to you.
Noreen and Hans
An accomplished young man. Heartbroken for you. May he now have the peace of our Lord, and may that peace find its way to you and your family!
During my years as a student at Northshore Middle School, I had the opportunity to observe Mr. Holm teaching PE, often while I was participating in classes led by Mr. Wang or Ms. Tucci. Although I never had him as my official instructor, his warmth and enthusiasm were always unmistakable, especially when he addressed the entire gymnasium. His wonderful reputation as a genuinely kind and supportive teacher was consistently reinforced by my friends and peers who were fortunate enough to be in his class. He clearly made a strong, positive impression on the whole student body.
We just read the Facebook posting. Our hearts break hearing the news. We are so sorry and devastated. You’re right, there are no words.
Thinking of you and your family.
Janet and Debora
There are no words that can convey my heartfelt sympathies to the Holm and Sullivan families.
My prayers and thoughts go out to you to help with the days to come.
Rest in peace🕊🙏🪦!
You were one of the nicest, most funniest teachers. I’m so glad I got to have you as one of my teachers, rip Mr. Holm!
