Brent William Marks, born on June 26, 1968, passed away peacefully at his home on August 26, 2025, at the age of 57, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He fought with remarkable strength, grace, and determination, inspiring all who walked beside him during his journey.
Brent proudly served his country as a United States Army veteran, carrying with him a spirit of honor, resilience, and dedication. After his military service, he built a career in the film industry, working in the Camera and Electrical Department on numerous movie productions. His expertise and passion for the craft helped bring many stories to life on screen.
Beyond his work, Brent was a true movie lover. He not only worked behind the camera but also found great joy in watching, collecting, and sharing films with the people he cared about. Whether recommending a favorite classic, keeping up with the latest releases, or spending hours talking about directors and stories, his enthusiasm for cinema was infectious and brought many closer together.
Brent also loved the simple joys of life—spending time around the poker table, sharing laughter and friendly competition with those he loved. He had an adventurous palate, always excited to discover a new restaurant or hidden pizza spot, yet nothing compared to the comfort of a good home-cooked meal. Food, movies, and laughter were often at the center of his happiest moments.
More than his service and career, Brent will be remembered for his heart of gold. He was a loyal friend who never met a stranger—always quick to spark a conversation, share a laugh, or lend a helping hand. His warmth, generosity, and genuine nature touched the lives of everyone around him.
Brent’s absence leaves an immeasurable void for his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him. His legacy of kindness, dedication, and love will forever remain in their hearts.
He will be missed beyond measure.
RIP Good Friend. May you find peace and comfort with your loved ones in heaven.
Thank you for the time we had together, buddy. I hope you find peace and are reunited with your wife. Until we meet again.
RIP my dear friend Brent
We miss you so much and we will always love you. Life won’t be the same without your laughter, your funny late-night texts, our shopping trips, meals together, and all the movie talks we shared. You left a hole in our hearts, but your memory will live on forever.
Say hi to Belly and Brandon for me until we meet again.
