WNCCHS is deeply saddened by the passing of Brent Wyatt, a dedicated community leader and longtime member of the WNCCHS Board of Directors.

Brent joined our Board in July 2020 and served as Board Chair from May 2023 through December 2025. Throughout his years of service, he brought thoughtful leadership, compassion and a deep commitment to our mission and the people of Western North Carolina.

That commitment extended throughout our community. As Executive Director of Loving Food Resources, Brent worked tirelessly to support people living with HIV/AIDS, individuals receiving hospice care and members of the LGBTQIA2+ community facing food insecurity. Following Hurricane Helene, he also helped lead efforts to provide food, water and other essentials to neighbors in need.

We are grateful for the time, leadership and heart Brent gave to WNCCHS and to Western North Carolina. His impact will be felt for years to come, and he will be deeply missed.

Our thoughts are with Brent’s loved ones, friends, colleagues and everyone at Loving Food Resources.
