Marshall Music-Kennard Obituary

Marshall Brent Music-Kennard, born on February 28, 1958, in Tacoma, Washington was sent to his eternal home on September 21, 2025, in Tacoma, due to a long illness. He was the son of Oscar Kent Kennard and Patricia Ann Eriksen.

Brent, as he was affectionately known, was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His journey on this earth was one marked by his love of animals, art, music and especially his sense of humor. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family and friends. We ask that you remember him not for the way his life ended, but for the way it was lived.

Brent is survived by his siblings, Debra Kennard, Jody Kennard, Pam Kennard, Twyla Eriksen, Dan Kennard and Dora Lee Kennard. His memory will live on with his many nieces and nephews, Jeremy, Tonya, Amy, Heather, Jason, Rusty, Joe Bisson, Carla, Carl, Joe Yusko, Michael, Amanda and many more.

He also leaves behind many cousins.

He was predeceased in death by his father, Oscar Kent Kennard, mother, Patricia Ann Eriksen and his nephew, Markus Basher.

We plan to celebrate Brent's life through music. It will be held November 8, 2025. Get there at 6:00 p.m. to get a seat. Music starts at 7:30-11:30 p.m.
