Brenten James Longhofer, a cherished resident of Shattuck, aged 37, passed away on February 5, 2024, in Edmond, OK. Born on November 4, 1986, in Shattuck to Larry Lee and the late Marlene Joann (Bowles) Longhofer, Brenten's life was a testament to love, dedication, and achievement.

Brenten spent his formative years in Shattuck, attending Shattuck Public School for all twelve years, graduating with the Class of 2006 as Senior Class President. He played quarterback and defensive back for the Shattuck Indian football team. They were State Champions in 2003, 2004 and 2005.

His coaches said of him, "He was one of the greatest competitors we ever coached."

One of Brenten's lifelong hobbies was cooking. In 2007, he and his two brothers opened Young Guns Saloon and Steakhouse where Brenten ran the restaurant that became a local favorite. Music resonated deeply with him, and he shared his passion with those at Young Guns by providing live entertainment playing the guitar and singing with his friends.
