Brent greeted the world on July 17, 1978, in Kissimmee, Florida.  Brent was the cherished son of Hugh David and Geraldine (Kelly) Reed and much loved brother of three sisters all of whom thought they were his favorite.  Brent was born with the gift of song and the ability to win souls for Jesus.  Brent didn't meet a stranger and was loved by all whom met him.

Brent graduated from Jennings County High School in 1996, and worked with his family at the Scipio Auction.  Brent was the charismatic ambassador and greeter at each auction.  He made sure to make everyone feel welcome.  Brent was a member of the Butlerville Mennonite Church and loved going to church.   He sang special music and was head usher for many years.  Brent also enjoyed country music and was able to meet one of his favorites Willie Nelson a few years ago.  Brent loved John Deere tractors, animals, and most of all, he loved being around his family and friends.

Survivors include his parents, David and Geraldine Reed; three sisters, Melissa (Tony) Monday and Anne (Jamie) Poore, both of North Vernon, and Melissa (Eric) Wiesman of Austin; grandmother, Cora Kelly of North Vernon; nieces and nephews, Megan Root, Molly Koors, Gregory Lee, Gretchen Lee, and Noah Wiesman; and great-nieces and great-nephews, Christian and Connor Lee and Regan Root.  Brent's family didn't want to give him up but knew his earthly body was tired!  Brent went to rest high on that mountain, because his work on earth is done.  A went to heaven a-shoutin', love for the Father and the Son.

The family wishes in lieu of flowers memorials may be made through the funeral home to Mercy Rescue and Adoption.  Brent was a volunteer for Mercy Rescue and Adoption sharing his loving heart with both people and animals.
