Brendan was born on May 8, 1996 in St. Joseph. He worked at Leco Corporation as an IT Tech/Programmer. Brendan graduated from Grand Valley State University in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Computer Engineering. He loved computer programming, computer games, and also enjoyed logic puzzles. Brendan had a heart for animals and had talked about volunteering at the humane society to spend time with the animals there. Brendan also was very talented musically, was in band and choir all through middle school and high school, and even a choir class in college. Brendan had a great sense of humor and a strength for witty sarcasm, and he had the amazing ability to make people laugh. Brendan had dedicated his life to Jesus at a young age and chose to be baptized in 5th grade. Although recently Brendan struggled with depression and anxiety, as well as his identity, we know that he is at peace now, with Jesus, with no more anxiety and depression, no more physical or emotional pain. Brendan will be greatly missed by family and friends. 

Survivors include his mother, Valerie Dent; father, Merle David Dent III; sisters: Ashlie and Natalie and a brother: Trevor Noonan; grandparents: Dr. Lawrence and Susan Cairns, Denny (Sandy) Dent, and Rosalie Kimmerly; aunts: Victoria (John) Rosas, Tara (Jason) Dent-Reeves, and Amy Dent.

Arrangements are entrusted to Pike Funeral and Cremation Services, The Boyd Chapel, 9191 Red Arrow Hwy, Bridgman.
