Brent Neal Coffee, age 56, of Bella Vista, Arkansas, died peacefully Thursday, September 2, 2021, with his wife by his side.

Brent cared deeply about his family, his many friends and all his animals.  He was an avid storyteller who always had a glint in his eye and a story at the ready for anyone who would listen, although he would say he "didn't" talk, he just listened.

An avid sportsman and farmer, Brent always made time for each of his children, keeping them at the center of everything he did.

Brent often said his greatest achievement was his children.  He enjoyed teaching his kids about farming, leatherworking, practicing Sinawali with his son Luke, fishing with his daughter Brittany, and throwing axes with all of his children.  He could often be found watching westerns in his downtime.

Brent is survived by his wife Christine; children; Josh, Zachary, Danielle (Damian), Brittany (Justin) and Luke; grandchildren Dante and Dorian; parents, Kent and Donna; sister Deanne (Mike); brother Jeff (Lagaye) and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, September 11, 2021, at 4:00 p.m. at Bella Vista Funeral Home Chapel in Bella Vista, Arkansas.  Visitation will be at 3:00 p.m. at the chapel prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to be made to the Arkansas Future Farmers of America of Gravette. Checks can be made out to the Gravette FFA and mailed to Gravette High School, 325 Lion Drive, Gravette, AR 72736.
