Brent Hayden Edwards

Brent Hayden Edwards, of East Palatka, Florida, loving husband of Sandi Olsen Edwards, loving father of Cassy Nicole Edwards, and beloved of so many well met friends, passed away on September 20th, 2023, at the age of 67. He was born on August 9, 1956, in Madisonville, Kentucky, where he grew up .

A graduate of Madisonville North Hopkins High School, Brent worked as an electrician and entrepreneur throughout his life..

A talented self-taught engineer, Brent applied his skills in such varied locales as the coalfields of Kentucky and the Mayport Naval Base in Jacksonville, Florida. He enjoyed helping friends and never met a stranger, never failed to offer help and counsel, nor lend both hands and mind to any task that needed doing. He seemed to know everything about everything mechanical and electrical ….including when not to mess with it. Often lauded for his patience, he was described as the “teacher” of the unteachable.

Brent was so easy to be with and was up for any adventure as long as it concluded with a cocktail. He especially enjoyed visiting his brothers at B.P.O.E. Lodges across the country. Widely traveled, he thoroughly delighted in meeting new people and entertaining.

Brent is survived by his loving wife Sandi Olsen Edwards and beloved daughter Cassy Nicole Edwards and other family members across the nation.

He is preceded in death by his parents: Alfred Jones Edwards (AJ) and Alla Mae Edwards (Maizie).
