Brent Stephen Ice's Obituary
Our Beloved Husband, Father, and Papa, Brent Stephen Ice, 58, of Covington, Louisiana, went to be with his Lord and Savior on the morning of April 3, 2023, surrounded by his wife and children.
Brent married the love of his life, Angela Joy Vis, on June 27, 1987, and she survives. The couple was blessed with four beloved children and three daughters-in-law: Dr. Calvin and Dr. Lauren Ice, Mitchell Brent and Hannah Ice, Dr. Alissa Ice, and Elliott and Madalyn Ice. He was also the proud Papa of four grandchildren who were the light of his life and a great source of encouragement and inspiration: Eliana, Peter Brent, Lydia, and Elsie.
Brent is also survived by his mother, Clarice Ice and mother-in-law Elsie Wayman Vis; sisters Vicki (Tim) Modert and Dr. Melonie Ice (Mike Lynch); and three nieces and a nephew.
He was preceded in death by his father, Rolland Ice, and his father-in-law, Larry Vis.
He was born on February 17, 1965, in Findlay, Ohio to Rolland and Clarice Ice. After graduating from Findlay High school, he went on to study Business Administration and Accounting at Cornerstone University where he also played collegiate basketball. He then earned a Masters of Business Administration from Ashland University.
He and Angela built a home in Rawson, Ohio to raise their children in love and faith. Brent worked for 25 years at Marathon Petroleum holding various accounting and commercial management positions, including his most recent position as the Commercial Lead of the Marine Division. He also taught Accounting and Finance courses at the Marion Correction Institute, Bluffton University, and Owen’s Community College where he cherished the opportunity to share his passion for business and the hope of Christ with his students.
The family moved to Covington, Louisiana in 2012 where he continued his career in the Marine industry and served as Executive Vice President and General Manager of Florida Marine Transport.
Brent was known by all as a servant-hearted leader who lived a life marked by humility and selflessness. He earned a reputation for being a man of great integrity who pursued excellence in all of his endeavors and intentionally sought out opportunities to help those in need.
He and Angela attended Church of the King in Covington and enjoyed supporting the local community. He took pride in caring for their family farm including their three dogs and six horses. He loved the character and work ethic that sports instill and was an avid sports memorabilia collector. You could find him cheering for the Buckeyes on Saturdays and the Saints on Sundays.
