Brent William Early, of Homeworth, Ohio, passed away on October 18, 2026, at Aultman Hospital following a brief illness. He was born on September 28, 1960, in Alliance, Ohio. The son of the late Ray and Helen (Dunlay) Early.

Brent served his country in the Army and Army Reserve, a commitment that reflected his sense of duty and dedication. In his working years, he was a driver for Ruan Logistics. Outside of work, Brent found great enjoyment in hunting, fishing, and camping, and he especially loved spending time outdoors with his family and extended family the Chapmans and Greeneisen girls. He was also, in the truest sense, a collector of people, someone who drew others in with warmth and connection and who built lasting relationships throughout his life.

He is survived by his wife, Joanne Early; whom he married on January 19, 1985, his daughter, Jessica Early; his son, Scott (Megan) Early; his grandson, Cayden Early; his brothers, Michael (Tammy) Early, and Philip (Mary) Early and his; and his sister, Pamela (Phil) Harlan, as well as many nieces and nephews
