Jerry Masters

Jerry Brent Masters, age 60 of Roland, Arkansas, passed away in Little Rock January 19, 2021.

Brent was born September 29, 1960 in Mena, Arkansas, spent several growing up years in Greenville Texas, but he lived the majority of his life in Little Rock.

Brent graduated from McClellan High in 1979 and was a UALR graduate in 1984 with a degree in English.  Brent had several passions. He was an Eagle Scout, was a leader in the Young Life Organization, leading many busloads of young people to ski in Colorado. A big fan of the music group U2, hiked the Ouachita Trail and was an excellent photographer with thousands of images in digital files. Brent worked several years with Concert Staging, traveling the U.S. helping set up outdoor staging systems for music groups, and a few years with Ink Custom Tees as I.T. director.

He was also a big fan of the Chicago Cubs, Indy Car Racing (not NASCAR), and especially NASA and the space program. Of course, Brent’s biggest love was for his wife Marsha, his family and especially his nephews, attending many of their sporting events.

Brent is survived by his wife Marsha of Roland; his parents, Jerry and Karen Masters of Bryant; brother Scott (Janis) of Bryant; brother Jason of Benton and nephews Taylor (Katy) of Hot Springs; Dylan (Alyssa) of Fayetteville; and Austin of Denver, CO; a great nephew Sanford of Fayetteville; his mother-in-law Zela Mae Strange of Roland; brother-in-law Sam Strange (Anita); several aunts, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his father-in-law Sammie Strange; grandparents, T.C. & Helen Masters of Mena; and C.H. & Faye Ross of Wickes.
