A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the family of Brent Santos, a City of Fernley 

building inspector and Fernley High School assistant football coach who died suddenly and 

unexpectedly on Oct. 5. 

Santos was an assistant coach at Spanish Springs for several years before taking a job with the 

City of Fernley earlier this year and joining the FHS football staff. 

“We’re heartbroken as a football program for that,” Fernley head coach Anfernee Sloan said. 

“My thoughts and prayers go out to that family and they always have a place in our football 

program.” 

City of Fernley Building Official Charity Birkel organized the GoFundMe page, which had 

raised $9,992 as of Monday night. 

“The city is doing its best to help support Tracy, Brent's wife, and his kids through this incredibly 

difficult time,” Birkel said.
