Brent Holton Burt, age 70, of Duck River, Tennessee, passed away on August 14, 2025. He was born on January 13, 1955, in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, to the late Edward Wallace Burt and Jeraldene Messer Burt. In addition to his parents, Brent was preceded in death by his grandparents, Buford H. and Jessie Benson Burt, and his brother, John Leslie Burt. He is survived by his son, Brian (Amber) Burt; granddaughter, Keeli E. Burt; grandsons, Cayden James Keeling and Michael Ayden Caudill; brother, Edward Lawrence Burt; sister, Mrs. Jimmy (Sherri Burt) Darnell; and a host of extended family and cherished friends. Brent was a proud alumni of Columbia Military Academy in Columbia, Tennessee, a dedicated member of Little Lot United Methodist Church and a man of strong faith who loved the Lord and his family fiercely. He found great joy in the outdoors-especially hunting, fishing, and farming. A certified Master Gardener and beekeeper, Brent was also gifted with his hands, particularly when restoring old cars. His presence, kindness, and talents will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. In lieu of flowers please consider a memorial donation in Brent's memory to Little Lot United Methodist Church. McDonald Funeral Home is honored to be serving the Burt family.
