On Monday, March 1, 2021, Patrick Brent Wilson – devoted husband, dog father, son, brother, uncle and friend – left this earth at the age of 38. Everyone was drawn to Brent and became friends with him from the moment they first met. He was smart, funny and incredibly thoughtful, and loved nothing more than doing for others, watching the Memphis Tigers and spending quality time with his wife, Beth, and their dog, Baxter.
A native of Bartlett, Brent attended The University of Memphis, where he met his wife 19 years ago and received a degree in business administration. It served him well, as he had a successful career in sales for the last 15 years.
Brent leaves behind a lifetime of incredible memories – full of laughter and thoughtful gestures – along with family and friends that span the globe. He was so loved, because he loved so big. Brent showed that love for others through cooking, humor and acts of service, and he never asked for or wanted anything in return.
Brent will be forever remembered by his wife of nearly 14 years, Beth, brother Ben (Christina), sister Brittney (Frank), brother Tyler (Marsha), sister Taylor (Blake), father-in-law Fred, mother-in-law Sue (Tony), sister-in-law Laura (Cary), sister-in-law Ashley (Ian), father Gary (Cindy), stepfather Marvin, stepbrother Travis, and stepsister Whitney. He is also survived by six nieces and five nephews, along with many friends’ children, who only knew him as Uncle Brent.
A celebration of Brent's life will be held at 10 a.m., on Monday, March 15, at Memphis Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens, 3700 N. Germantown Pkwy, Bartlett, with Pastor Eddie Davis officiating.
Brent will be dearly missed by his family and friends, but he will never be forgotten. In lieu of flowers, his wife asked that donations in memory of Brent be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
