Charles Brent McBride passed away in his Tooele home on Friday, March 19th from causes incident to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Brent was born August 15, 1941 in Tooele to Charles and Louise McBride. When Brent was 6 months old, the family moved to Texas to start a candy business, but WWII brought them back to Utah where they settled in Ogden and where Brent was raised.
After high school, Brent served a mission to the North British Mission where he fell in love with the English people. This love attracted him to his wife, Jane, whom he met at Weber State College and married in June 1965. Brent served in the National Guard Special Forces as a paratrooper until Jane decided it was too dangerous jumping out of planes when you have a family.
Brent was involved in public education for forty years serving as teacher and administrator in the Ogden, Tooele, and Nye County Nevada school districts. Over these years he received many advanced degrees culminating in a doctorate from BYU. After retirement, Brent and Jane served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Scotland and later to Boston, Massachusetts. Between these two missions, they also served two church service missions in Salt Lake City.
Brent had a passion for gardening and a great love of flowers, especially daylilies. He also relished traveling both out of the country and within. One of Brent's other loves was running (three marathons) and then walking. Another love was genealogy and attending the temple to complete vital ordinances for his ancestors. Brent also loved the scriptures and enjoyed teaching a Book of Mormon class with his wife.
Brent is survived by his wife, Jane, their four children: thirteen grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. Brent is preceded in death by his parents.
