Weathersfield, Vt. — Brent W.
Preston, Sr., 65, died Sunday, Oct. 5, 2014 at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock

He was born April 14, 1949, in Hanover, N.H. a
son of Edward and Ethel (Brown) Preston. Brent attended schools in
Lebanon and went on to work with several painting contractors in the
Upper Valley but his true passion was his music. He played guitar and
sung lead vocals with several bands in the area, most recently The
Nighthawks. He also operated Brent’s Karaoke and DJ Service. Brent
loved anything to do with music and enjoyed sharing it with others,
including volunteering at senior centers, nursing homes and playing for
the clients at Lincoln Street.
The only thing Brent enjoyed as much as music
was time with his family, especially his grandkids. He also enjoyed
camping and spent summers with his family at Getaway Mountain Campground
in Ascutney, Vt.
