Brent Street Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Brent Wesley Street died peacefully at home in Benicia, CA on April 6, 2016. He was preceded in death by his parents, Fay and Clarence Street of San Francisco and is survived by his wife of 25 years, Susan Coop Street, his son Douglas (Nancy Wolf) and his daughter Lori Street Chambers, his grandsons Cameron and Kalani Chambers, and Susan’s two daughters, Jill Teising Teer (Steve Teer) and Peg Teising. Brent was born in San Francisco Nov 3, 1932. His life was devoted to Sea Scouts and sailing on San Francisco Bay and beyond. Stories abound of his adventures “up the Delta” with the Sea Scouts. He raced his own and others’ boats most of his life. Brent joined the Navy during the Korean War and was aboard a ship in San Diego as a Quartermaster. Following the Navy, Brent attended San Francisco State, majoring in business. Right after their 1991 wedding, Brent captained a large sailboat that he and Susan purchased in St. Thomas, USVI. Brent and Susan treated guests to gourmet, personally chartered tours of the British Virgin Islands. After moving to Benicia in 2000, he taught sailing at Club Nautique out of Alameda, docked his various sail and motor boats at the Benicia Marina, developed a talent for woodworking with his best buddy Greg Davis, and had the most organized garage in Benicia. Brent was a tireless name gatherer to save the Benicia waterfront from being commercialized and enjoyed his weekly breakfast with his buddies, the ROMEOs (Retired Old Men Eating Out). His straight talk, subtle sense of humor and his loyalty to friends and family will be deeply missed.
