Brent was blessed with several nieces, nephews, uncles, cousins and a host of friends and special people whose lives he’s touched in an immeasurable way.
Brent was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Sherry Wall.
Brent was a member of Whittington Church in Whittington, Il, where he was very active in many ministries of the church, including teaching bible and Sunday school and the group, Ordinary Men.
Brent was the leader of Celebrate Recovery Ministries. On Tuesday evenings, Brent dedicated devotions at Bible Bin at Tom VanZandt’s home.
Brent was an avid fisherman. If he and his son Jace weren’t fishing, you could find him coaching Jace’s other sporting events, including baseball and football or attending his daughter Addison’s soccer or volleyball games. Brent was also a dedicated and devoted fan to the Chicago Cubs.
In Brent’s spare time, he shared his early mornings walking the West Frankfort City Park with his brother, Larry and drinking coffee at Bonnie’s Cafe.
He was a fervent leader and follower of Christ and passionately witnessed to anyone he met along the way. Brent never met a stranger, greeted everyone with a smile and an open heart and left them better than he found them. It was his every wish to share what he knew about Jesus and to leave them with the saying, “Have a blessed day!” He will be sadly missed, but his Godly presence will live in our hearts forever.
