Survivors include his loving wife of 65 years, Dorotha Ferguson Brown; one son, Wayne Dent and wife Debbie of Union, WV; three grandchildren, Kassie Dent-Floerke, Kenzie Dent, and Jeff Johnson; and one great grandchild, Hannah Waldron.

Due to the regulations associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and out of love and respect for extended family and friends, a private graveside service for only the immediate family will be held at the St. Johns Church Cemetery in Union, WV, with Pastor Jim Rogers officiating. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
