Brent Michael Holm

Brent Michael Holm, 42, of Kirkland, Washington, passed away on October 27, 2025, surrounded by his family, after a courageous five-month battle with brain cancer.

Brent was born on June 22, 1983, in Kirkland, to Hans and Noreen Holm. He attended Lake Washington High School and went on to earn both his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Washington. Brent dedicated his career to education and was a valued member of the staff at Northshore Middle School.

A lifelong athlete and avid Husky sports fan, Brent had an unshakable passion for athletics and an active lifestyle. His sharp wit and sense of humor filled every room he entered, leaving laughter and light wherever he went.

Brent is survived by his parents, Hans & Noreen Holm; his brothers, Bryan and Zachary; his sister, Brianna; and many other loving friends and family.

A celebration of Brent's life will be held on Friday, November 7, at 11 am at St. John Vianney in Kirkland. In honor of Brent, guests are invited to wear purple. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Seattle Children's Hospital in Brent's memory, supporting the children and families facing the same fight he bravely endured.
