Hower (Jack), and stepbrother Jason L. Hower, Grandmother Bonnie Anderson of OH,and Grandmother Carol Batson of Charleston MO.

Brent had a host of friends who described him this way:

"He was a great co-worker,

such a cool guy,

he had a heart of gold,

an amazing guy,

my good friend,

he had a light about him,

a good man,

he could always make me laugh,

a cool dude,

an amazing guy,

was the best man."

Most of all, his friends hoped he found peace, and that Kyla was waiting for him with open arms.

Brent truly was an amazing son. He was a great electrician. He was the most creative lil guy, always helped his mother on projects, he loved nature, his dogs, and having a good time. He was very artistic.  Yep, quite a beautiful soul.

His smile, his humor, his love, and his grace will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

We will be honoring his life at the latter end of June with a graveside memorial at Routh Chapel Cemetery in Aldridge Mo with his brother Justin Hayton doing a eulogy. A private family burial will follow.

McMikle Funeral Home of Charleston is in charge of arrangements.
