Brent Deinstadt was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan to Helen and Alvin Deinstadt. Brent grew up on Vancouver Island just south of Nanaimo.
Brent met and fell in love with his wife Christine in 1977 and they married in 1980. He trained and became a paramedic in Ladysmith and worked his way up to Superintendent over 20 years. He decided at that point to change directions, received his MBA and became a hospital manager/director. He continued to upgrade his education and trained in HR while continuing to work. When he received his HR designation he changed careers again and came to Dawson Creek as HR Director for Northern Lights College. He worked hard and eventually became Vice President Corporate Services there. He treasured his job at NLC and had planned to stay there until retirement.
He loved Dawson Creek and was involved with the community including being an active member of the Hospital Foundation Board and recently joining the Chamber of Commerce.
Brent passed away on May 30th 2014 at the age of 53. Brent is survived by his wife Christine, his daughters Anastacia and Tamsin, his son Alex, his son-in-law Bryan Clarke, and his grandchildren Brody and Cole. He is also survived by his father Alvin, his brothers Wes and Bruce and his sister Betty, as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Brent was predeceased by his mother, Helen.
