Charles Brent Kirkham

March 24, 1963 — January 26, 2025

Charles Brent Kirkham, a treasured member of his family and community, passed away on January 26, 2025, in Layton, Utah, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on March 24, 1963, in Ashton, Idaho, Brent brought joy and kindness to the lives of those around him.

Brent's professional journey was marked by his dedication as a maintenance technician across various industries. He took great pride in his work and approached each task with the careful attention it deserved. He attended school in Aston, ID. He maintained a lifelong love for learning and personal growth.

Brent proudly served in the National Guard beginning in 1980, a milestone that brought him immense pride and honor throughout his life. His commitment to his country remained a significant part of his identity, and he received an honorable discharge after his service.

Known affectionately as Brent, he was described by many as a simple, kind-hearted man whose warmth and compassion resonated with all who met him. His love for fast cars was evident, especially his cherished lime-green 1971 Camaro, which he enjoyed working on and driving. His friends and family will always remember the joy he derived from these hobbies.

Brent is survived by his children Josh and Lacie Kirkham, his long time partner Theresa Sparks, his beloved siblings, Delbert (Walaiporn) Kirkham Jr., Randy (Sabrina) Kirkham, and Penny (Vern) Fullmer. He joins in eternal rest with his cherished parents, Velma M. Kirkham and Delbert Kirkham Sr., along with his brothers Kim and Roger Kirkham, and sister Sherry Abegglen. The legacy of Brent's gentle spirit and dedication to family will continue through his loved ones and the memories they shared.

As we remember Charles Brent Kirkham, let us celebrate the life of a kind soul who left an indelible mark on the hearts of many. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him, and he will be dearly missed.

We would like to extend a special thanks to the staff at the Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT. for the care they gave Charles during his time there.

A graveside celebration of life will be held Monday, May 19th at 3:00 PM at Teton-Newdale Cemetery south of Teton, Idaho.
