Brent James Horrocks passed away peacefully in his home on March 3, 2024, at age 72.
Brent was born in Ogden, Utah on September 29, 1951, to Joyce Vivian James and Merlin Curtis Horrocks. Brent was blessed to have two sons, Matthew Shane Horrocks, and Chad James Horrocks with Janis Elaine Brandenburg. He was also blessed to have a bonus son, Galen McCray Brandenburg, with Janice.
Brent served 2 tours in the US Army during the Vietnam War right out of high school. He then retired from Kennecott Copper Mine after many years of hard work. He enjoyed golfing and loved a good time. If you spent more than just a few minutes with him, you were guaranteed to have a good laugh.
He is survived by children Matthew, Chad (Mary), his life partner, Janis, and her son, Galen. He is preceded in death by his parents, and his brothers, Kirk, Lex (Sherilyn), and Kevin (Kathy).
A graveside service, for close family and friends, will be held on Friday, March 22, 2024 at 12pm at Utah Veterans Cemetery and Memorial Park. The family would like to thank the many friends and family for all the lovely messages and sentiments of condolences.
