The Obituary of Brent Wakefield, written by his daughter.

Samuel Brent Wakefield entered this world on December 3, 1972 and left it behind on January 8, 2023. While he will be greatly missed by his wife (Emily), three children (Hollis, Weston, and Eli), parents (Sam and Peggy), and brother (Nick), he rests peacefully in the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Fishing, Star Wars, and sports filled the first several years of his life. After graduating from Arkansas Tech University with a Bachelor's of Arts in History and Political Science, he pursued a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Arkansas in Little Rock School of Law. Brent served in the US Air Force JAG Corps before working at the Barber Law Firm, rounding out his professional career. Foremost to the hours spent in his office, Brent faithfully dedicated his life to his family, friends, and most importantly, his Savior.

Without exaggeration, a song bounced around in Brent's head every second of the day-whether it was 80s, country, or worship music. Some would contend that his stylishness resulted in a new shirt or pair of shoes every month. His sense of humor lightened every room he entered, and his infectious love for Jesus drew others to experience the same full life that he possessed. After every Men of the Ozarks retreat, where Brent taught his fellow men how to truly operate as brothers in Christ, he always returned home with warm hugs and bags of candy snatched from the cooler. He spent countless Sunday mornings on the fourth row of The Summit Church's sanctuary, lifting his voice and hands in praise, and he was ordained as an Elder in the Church for his selfless service and ardent love of Christ. Anyone who knew him would testify that Brent Wakefield left hundreds of changed lives in his wake.

A service in honor of his legacy and faith will be held on Tuesday, January 17th at 2:00 pm at The Summit Church (6600 Crystal Hill Rd North Little Rock AR 72118) In lieu of flowers, donations can be mailed to For King and Kingdom (PO Box 8023, Hot Springs Village, AR 71909) or the following link: http://tinyurl.com/brentwakefield
