Mass of Christian burial celebrating the life of Brent Henry Lehnen, age 19 of Albany was held Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at Seven Dolors Catholic Church in Albany. Father Michael Naughton O.S.B. officiated and burial took place in the parish cemetery following the service. Brent died in a car accident in southern Minnesota last Monday.
Brent was born October 30th, 1992 to John and Rosanne (Feld) Lehnen in Albany. He graduated from Albany High School in 2011 and had lived his life in St. Martin and Albany. Brent worked for Klaphake Custom Harvesting for four years, Carstens Fiberglass, and most recently R-Way Pumping. He was a member of Seven Dolors Catholic Church. Brent had a strong love of the outdoors. He was an avid sportsman enjoying activities such as hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and four-wheeling. He also loved every minute of his time with friends and family. This included his pointless driving trips in his truck, dancing, training his dog Yukon, and hanging out with close friends at “The Ranch”. He also enjoyed every minute of his time working with his dad on his semi. As a sportsman, he lived by the motto, “If it flies, it dies. If it’s brown, it’s down.”
Brent is survived by his parents John and Rosanne Lehnen, Albany; his sister Brenna Lehnen, Albany; his grandparents LeRoy Feld, St. Joseph; Eugene Lehnen, Paynesville; Emma Lehnen, Paynesville; many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and his beloved dog Yukon.
He is preceded in death by his grandma Beverly Feld, his great grandparents Luella Lehnen, Clarence Feld, Margaret Feld, Lillian Garding, Hank Goebel, his great aunt Betty Kilanowski, and his great uncle Patrick Dibblee.
