Brent was born in Warsaw on Jan. 16, 1954. He grew up in the family home on Winona Lake.
As a child, he liked to play in the sand pile at the lake side, water ski and spend time outside with neighborhood kids. He had a drum set in the basement, providing a musical outlet that continued into his high school years.
After high school, he moved to Marion, where he married Jeanne Hart and began a home improvement business, Silveus Siding. In his later years, he moved to Aurora, where he was a professional truck driver for Crete Carrier Corp.
He captured his reflections of life through his photography while traveling the U.S. with Crete. His natural curiosity and power of observation shone through in his unique personal style. He shared his passion for photography with his family and social media friends. Through those friends, he found an appreciative and valued audience with whom he shared his art and engaged in lively repartee covering a wide variety of subjects. All who knew him will attest to his wit and sense of humor.
He was preceded by his parents, Charles Richard and Jean Sims Silveus.
He is survived by his wife, Kimber Nelms Silveus; his stepson, Russell Hungerford; Brent’s two daughters, Linda Pope and Sarah Wegerhoff; the mother of his daughters, Jeanne Hart Silveus; his brother, Steven Richard Silveus; his sister, Sydney Silveus Seaman; his stepbrothers, Kelly Ireland, Mike Ireland, Mitch Ireland and Patrick Ireland; and his stepsister, Cindy Ireland Seward.
A celebration of his life will be planned at a later date.
