He was a true business man all his life. He started and operated Certified Security, All American Subs and Hot Dogs at Mall of Memphis, and Russell's Boats and Motors. He also managed most of the Circle K's in the Memphis area. He loved his family and friends, buying, selling, and trading things, collecting guns, going to the lake and fishing, animals, God, and his country. He loved being able to help people. Brent will be missed by so many.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Glenda Sullivan Barnes; grandmother, Iva Glenn Ferguson Sullivan; and grandfather, Russell Sheilds Sullivan.
Brent is survived by his sister, Alisa Barnes; daughter, Melissa Barnes (spouse, Christina); grandchildren, Riley Barnes and Brentlee Barnes; and furbabies, Penny and Pixie.
Family and friends are invited to gather at Memphis Funeral Home on Tuesday evening, May 11 at 6:00 PM to share food and fellowship. A service celebrating his life will begin at 7:00 PM. Brent will later be laid to rest in Memphis Memory Gardens.
