Brent Edward Neal

It is with deep sorrow and much love we announce that the world has lost one of its brightest lights. Brent Edward Neal passed away on Tuesday June 16, 2026, at the age of 29. He was known for his kind heart, bright smile and comforting disposition. Brent had a deep passion for his dog Marie, riding his motorcycle, and traveling the world. He brought so much joy and light to everyone who knew him.

In his final act of kindness, Brent gave the gift of life through organ and tissue donation. He felt privileged and honored to have the ability to save or even dramatically enhance another person’s life. He gave in death as he gave in life, and his legacy of generosity will live on through the lives he has saved and blessed. Brent was courageous and strong and will always be our hero.

Brent was preceded in death by his father Christopher Saylor; grandparents Jim and Ann Saylor; his cousin Chad Combs; his childhood friend Manuel Cornel. He will be forever loved and deeply missed by his mother Alicia Neal (Robert Ryder); his sisters Briann Lambert, Brooke Lambert, Brittany (Austin) Saylor and Josie Day; his 4 nephew’s Cash Smith, Ashten Hays, Dakota Back and Cassius Saylor; his grandparents Arthur and Sharon Neal; his great-grandmother Vola Ballew and countless aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members and friends.
