June 6, 1980 – October 2, 2025

Brent Jay Kremer, age 45, of Gardner, Kansas, passed away on October 2, 2025. He was born on June 6, 1980, in Seward, Nebraska, to John and Marjorie (Abele) Kremer.

Brent grew up in Milford, Nebraska, where he attended Milford Public Schools and graduated with the Class of 1998. During high school, he was a proud member of the 1995 Milford football team that went 13-0, winning the school's first back-to-back Class C1 State Championship, a memory he carried with great pride throughout his life.

From a young age, Brent had a deep love for the outdoors. He was happiest when exploring nature, swimming and fishing at the family's farm pond or finding adventure wherever he could. BJ loved the snow. He would be outside all day and would have to be told to come inside when it got dark. As he grew older, his zest for life continued through his passions for working out, hunting, riding his collector motorcycles, gaming, and his joint hobby with his wife, gardening.

Brent's entrepreneurial spirit led him to pursue a variety of business ventures. He owned a successful health and wellness company, inspiring and guiding countless people on their personal wellness journeys. He also operated a roofing company, providing hundreds of families with safe homes, and most recently, he found joy working alongside close friends on a passion project trimming trees. His remarkable work ethic, natural leadership, and infectious personality earned him numerous customer service and sales awards over the years.

Brent will be remembered for his radiant smile, quick wit, and kind heart. He was a loyal friend who showed up when others needed him most, whether through a helping hand, words of encouragement, or simply being a great listener. Above all, Brent's proudest accomplishments were his children. He was a devoted father, a loving husband, and a man of strong faith. Together with his wife, Neena, he cherished opening their home to family and friends for Shabbat gatherings filled with laughter, love, and community.

Brent also had a love for animals and always shared his home and heart with many cherished pets throughout his life-each one bringing him joy and companionship. We are certain that several of those loyal friends were there to lovingly welcome him home.

Brent is survived by his loving wife, Neena (Isley) Kremer; his parents, John and Marjorie Kremer; sons Evan, Drew, Ethan, and Ceo Kremer, and stepdaughter Piper Hall, all of Gardner. Brothers, James (Janelle) Kremer of Milford, NE, Timothy Kremer of Shawnee, KS, and Chad (Kerry) Kremer of Warrensburg, MO; parents in law Jarrod and Patty Marlatt. He is also survived by Neena’s siblings; Trenton and April Salyer (Isley), Stephanie Isley, Mason Marlatt, along with many beloved aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at New Life Community Church, 29200 W 188th St, Gardner, KS..

Memorials may be made to the family for later designation.

Brent's light, laughter, and unwavering faith touched everyone who knew him. His memory will continue to inspire those who were blessed to share in his extraordinary life.
