Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Brent: in the short time we worked together in Oakland, you always seemed to be goal oriented, driven and steadfast. At times I'm sure the job seemed like alot to take in, but I never once heard you gripe...the trait of a soldier; a Marine. We're both on to bigger and better things now, but you'll always be remembered for the selfless life you lived. My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless,

Tony

When I put my two young sons to sleep at night, I ask them to forget about Power Rangers, Spiderman, and Yuh-gi-oh. I ask them instead to remember the real heroes in life like Officer Brent Clearman. Thank you for keeping us safe and for giving my sons a real-life hero. God bless you and your family.

I only knew Brent for a short period, (1 week). Brent had just returned from Iraq, Brent was working for HHS International and was teaching a Basic and Advanced Sniper Class at our Departmnet in Rittman Ohio, I was lucky enough to take part in both. Brent had the opportunity to sleep in the nicest Hotel's in our area, but he chose to sleep at our police range in his truck because he did not want to be late and he was always thinking of ways to make us better sharpshooters. The short period I new Brent I could tell he was a very intense person and wanted to go good. Thanks to Brent I know I am a better Sniper and Officer, when we (our class) complained about anything, Brent was there to tell us..."SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP!". your gonna be missed, your friend,

I met Brent in October of 2004 as a Police SWAT Sniper Instructor. He was anxiously awaiting his entry into the CHP Academy. He was a superb human being who led an unselfish life of sacrifice and commitment. He dedicated himself to the betterment of his community, his country and the entire world. No words can ease the pain and sorrow of his wife, family and friends but may you someday find peace knowing that he touched so many lives both here and abroad, and reflect on his legacy rather than his tragic departure. He now patrols the golden streets of heaven with so many heroes who have passed before him. Rest easy now brother, you've earned it!

To the family and loved ones of Officer Brent Clearman and his fellow officers with the California Highway Patrol:

I wanted to express my sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Brent was killed in the line of duty. I hope that you are comforted by the support of your law enforcement family, and other police survivors. There are many people who will help you on the painful journey ahead. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Although I never had the privilege of meeting Brent, I feel as if I know him through the loving reflections left by loved ones and friends. His valor and courage will never be forgotten. I also salute his duty to our country through his service as a Marine. Semper Fi.

I hope that God is holding him in the sweetest part of his heart and the most gentle part of his soul.

I am so sorry that Brent was robbed of his life so young and so tragically, but through his heroism and the profound sense of duty with which he lived his life, he made an immeasurable difference. May his spirit continue to soar and may his memory continue to inspire.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Brent gave to his community and the citizens of California, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on August 6, 2006.
