Brent is a 1966 Springfield South High School graduate. He participated in the marching band and in track. He enlisted into the United States Air Force in 1966 and served for over 20 years. He completed as a Master Sergeant (MSgt.) and served as an Air Police Supervisor. Mr. Jones became a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1031 in October 1994, and held the Commander position for several years. Brent retired from Navistar International after many years of dedicated service. Brent also had the privilege to coach track for his daughter, Diona, and a few of her friends. He was a devoted father and grandfather. He absolutely adored spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He loved going out to eat and watching all the kids enjoy themselves. He was big on family and had a good time when they were around and there was good music playing. If you were going to talk sports with him, you could talk about any and everything, but do not disrespect his San Francisco 49ers!
