Franklin Brent Ingle

Franklin Brent Ingle, known to all as Brent, 61, of Hackleburg, Ala., passed away unexpectedly on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026. Born on Feb. 2, 1965, to Billy Frank and Nellie Mae McCarley Ingle, Brent grew up learning the true value of an honest day's work. He carried that tireless work ethic through his entire life. For 40 years, he worked as a truck driver, logging countless miles to and from chicken farms. He dedicated himself completely to providing for the people he loved.
Brent's greatest devotion was always to his family. On Jan. 21, 1984, he married his high school sweetheart, Wanda Jackson Ingle. Together, they shared a beautiful, simple life raising three children.
When he wasn't on the road, Brent traded the highway for the simple joys of home. He was an avid fan of sports: Go Panther's and Roll Tide. Above all else, his favorite place to be was surrounded by his family. He cherished every single moment spent with his children and grandchildren, creating memories they will carry with them forever. He was a man of quiet strength, boundless dedication and a deep enduring love.
Brent is survived by his children Britni (Amber) Steward, Hilari (Ethan) Bray and Joey (Kaula) Ingle; his grandchildren, Kade Raper, Lyric and Hazel Ingle and baby Kymber Bray on the way; his sister, Debra Ingle Cochran; brother, Philip (Joyce) Ingle; brother-in-law, Tim (Courtney) Cook; and a host of nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Wanda Jackson Ingle, and his parents, Billy Frank and Nellie Mae McCarley Ingle.
