Brent Cloud

William Brently “Brent” Cloud, 60, of Green Ridge, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, December 5, 2025, on the family farm.

He was born November 27, 1965, in Sedalia, the son of William Larry Cloud and Carolynn A. (Nelson) Becker.

Brent was a 1984 graduate of Green Ridge High School and earned a degree in agriculture from State Fair Community College. He served six years in the National Guard.

On November 21, 1987, at Camp Branch Baptist Church near Green Ridge, he was united in marriage to Lisa M. Fluty.

Brent was a lifelong farmer, working with his father to raise chickens, hogs, and row crops. He also owned and operated a gravel business. He enjoyed hunting and being a hunting guide, taking particular interest in mentoring young boys in the outdoors. His other hobbies included fishing, motorcycles, antique muscle cars, RV-ing, camping, diving, and traveling. He was also musically talented.

Brent will be remembered as a devoted husband and father with a steady, encouraging presence. He was known for being kind, caring, compassionate, a good listener, and a practical problem solver.

He was a member and Elder of Katy Park Baptist Church, where he taught youth and adult Sunday school. He was a steady, reliable leader who led with gentleness, humility, and authenticity. Though his passing was sudden and unexpected, his family finds comfort in knowing he lived a life of purpose and is now with his Lord and Savior, and that God’s plan for him is complete.
