Brent Montgomery Becker

Brent Montgomery Becker was born on August 9,1958, in Fayetteville, North Carolina to his parents, James and Corina Becker. He transitioned this earthly life to be with The Lord his Savior on June 17, 2021, at the age of 62. He grew up in a loving family that first lived in Columbus, and then Cleveland, Ohio, and finally Kalamazoo, Michigan. He attended Michigan State University where he majored in Business. At Georgia State he achieved an Associates in Accounting, and at The University of Phoenix a Masters in Accountancy. His most prized degree was from Luther Rice Seminary where he earned a Master's in Biblical Studies. Brent was a Certified Public Accountant who enjoyed serving others as he prepared their various tax returns. Brent met his wife Caryn in the fall of her first year at M.S.U. in 1977 and they were joined in Holy Matrimony in 1987. It was during their premarital counseling that he committed his life to the Lord Jesus Christ. They became members of First Baptist Church of Atlanta and immersed themselves as preschool volunteers. Brent had a strong passion for teaching youth and has been a Sunday school teacher for many years. He loved mentoring young men and growing in wisdom with his co-teachers. He loved God's Word and made a habit of applying it to his heart and doing what it commanded. In November 2020, Brent retired from a long career at AT&T as a senior accountant to become a supportive caregiver for his youngest grandsons. “Papa” cherished interacting with them on a daily basis, loving the boys with the great patience. He was actively involved with each of his six adult children, whether through quality time or through faithful prayer. A loving husband and father, Brent always trusted God to handle all of the affairs in his life and family in His time and manner. Brent will be greatly missed. He was always seeking ways to serve others. He was fun to be with and loved to travel anywhere with Caryn. He loved to cook and made the best homemade pizza, calzones, and ribs. Brent loved classical and country music, crocheting, working on cars, and sports, particularly ice hockey. Brent was a humble man who took great pleasure in cutting the hair of his special needs brother-inlaw on a regular basis. We will miss his sense of humor and sarcasm - all the things that made us laugh during family times. Brent is preceded in death by his father, James E. Becker. He leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Caryn B. Becker, daughters Patrice R. Becker, Vanessa A. Becker, Aubre D. Foster (Trehvis), Olivia G. Meeks (Chris), Elana R. Becker, and son Eric D. Becker. Brent also leaves three grandsons whom he adored: Deshon L. Becker, Arturo I. Becker, and Michael J. Becker. He also leaves his beloved mother Corina M. Becker, sisters Leslie Flake, Kirsten Dennis, Lisa Watson, and a large number of extended family and close friends, and Ares, his best dog.
