A graveside service celebrating the life of Brentt Wayne Lawrence, age 40, of Newark, will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 12, at Fairmount Cemetery. Military honors will be provided by the Licking County Veterans Alliance.
Brentt passed peacefully on Sunday, November 8, 2020 with his family and beloved dog, Ripley, by his side. Brentt fought a short but valiant battle against Stage 4 Colon/Peritoneal Cancer.
Brentt was born on February 2, 1980 in Newark, Ohio. He was a 1998 graduate of Newark High School, followed by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps and graduating from Paris Island in 2003.
Those who knew Brentt knew him as a friend, appreciated his sarcastic and sometimes dark sense of humor, and his willingness to always help a friend or stranger in need. Brentt was a simple man who loved the Cleveland Browns, Tae Kwon Do, the Marines, fishing, and his dog. Brentt recently, surrounded by his NA Family on October 31 st , earned his 1 year NA chip, a feat which was not easy and which was hard earned.
Brentt is survived by his loving mother, Diana (Murphy) Lawrence; sisters, Heather Killen and Kristina (Brian) Smith; nephews, Derek, Stone and Brian II: nieces, Taylor, Sara and Abby; and never wavering best friend, Jenn Borgersen.
He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas D. Lawrence.
