Chandler, AZ — Brent Joseph Olberding, 49, of Chandler, AZ, formerly of Stuart, died peacefully Thursday, Aug. 6, 2026 at his home in Chandler, AZ, surrounded by his family.

No service information was provided.

Memorials and sympathies can be sent to the family at 2204 W. Longhorn Dr., Chandler, AZ 85286.

Brent was born in Atkinson on Aug. 2, 1977 and was raised on the family dairy farm in Stuart. 

After graduating from Stuart High School in 1995 as the salutatorian, Brent moved to Phoenix, AZ, enlisted in the Arizona Army National Guard and enrolled in college. After graduating with a degree from High Tech Institute, Brent worked for the Intel Corp. in Chandler, AZ, producing microprocessor chips.

In 2013, Brent found and married the love of his life Angela (Menking) of Fremont, a union which brought to the world two beautiful children Nolan (age 11) and Harper (age 8).

Brent was passionate and truly loved every activity that his children participated in, often volunteering his time as a coach. He loved his Huskers, Diamondbacks, Cardinals and his rescued boxer dogs, making them part of his family for many years. 

Brent remembered fondly his time growing up in north central Nebraska on the family dairy farm, which instilled ethics that served him well during the course of his life. 

After a determined and stubborn fight, with his caring wife by his side, Brent succumbed to cancer. He was above all, a devoted and caring husband, father, son, sibling, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend to many. He will be missed.

Brent is survived by his loving and devoted wife Angela (Menking) of Chandler, AZ; his two beloved children Nolan and Harper, both of Chandler, AZ; parents Dwaine and Susan Olberding of Atkinson; siblings Kami (Brent) Hooey of Atkinson, Kent (Leah) Olberding of Norfolk, Brian (Alyssa) Olberding of Columbus, Dr. Brad (Jackie) Olberding of Lincoln, Kole (Shannon) Olberding of Atkinson and Kristin (Jon) Busse of Omaha; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
