Robert "Berto" William Arent, 57 of Canonsburg, passed away on October 4, 2021, at Washington Hospital due to complications of COVID, with his family by his side.
He was born on July 11, 1964 in Washington, he was the son of the late Harry "Boots" Arent and Lorena (Hill) Arent. He is survived by his wife Carolyn Shawn Wright who he married on June 8, 1996.
Surviving are his children Madison and Jason, who brought him so much joy in his life. He will also be sadly missed by his sisters, Holly (Joe) Holmes, and Christy Kemp; as well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family that loved him.
Berto was a 1982 graduate of Trinity High School, and he proudly served in the United States Marine Corps.
In 2006, he graduated from the LPN program at Western Area Career and Technology Center. He worked as an LPN at Premier Health Center.
Also, considering his love of talking to people, for the last 3 years, he truly enjoyed driving for Uber, it was a true passion for him. Berto will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

I'm both shocked and saddened to lose such a great bud! He and I "razzed" each other at work and enjoyed recalling our high school days! He will be truly missed. My heart felt prayers go out toward his family and friends. ~ Until we meet again brother.
