The Motorcycle Roadracing Association mourns the loss of fellow racer and friend Brent Edwards.
The Motorcycle Roadracing Association is deeply saddened to share the tragic passing of seasoned racer and cherished member of our racing family, Brent Andrew Edwards #107, who lost his life in a traffic accident on April 21, 2026.
Brent was far more than a racer. He was the kind of person who made an immediate and lasting impact on everyone around him. Brent began his journey with the MRA racing at a SuperStreet event in 2023 and quickly became hooked. He attended several more eventsbefore he would attain a full race license and complete a full season of racing in 2025. Whether he was in the paddock helping another rider, sharing stories and laughter after a race weekend, or simply offering encouragement to those new to the sport, Brent embodied the spirit of the MRA community. His presence was genuine, welcoming, and unforgettable.
Born on October 7, 1970, in St. Louis, Missouri, Brent later made Colorado his home. He was a devoted husband, father, brother, veteran, firefighter, colleague, and friend. He is survived by his beloved wife Lisa, his children Lauren and Braden, his stepchildren Tyler, Sophie, and Camryn, along with his siblings Julie, Kirstin, and Braden, and his parents Barbie Lomonte Stubblefield and Tony Lomonte. He was preceded in death by his motherMartha Jane Edwards, in 1992, and his father, Larry Ray Edwards in 2023.
Brent proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Persian Gulf War aboard the USS Frederick, supporting Operation Desert Shield, Operation Desert Storm, and Operation Sea Angel. Following his military service, he continued dedicating his life to helping others as a firefighter with the Golden Fire Department for more than a decade.
Professionally, Brent built an outstanding 30 year career in the fire service and insurance inspection industries, earning the respect and admiration of coworkers, clients, and employees across the country. Those who worked alongside him knew him as a leader, mentor, and trusted friend.
Outside of work, Brent lived life with passion and energy. He loved the outdoors, skiing, mountain biking, fitness, and especially motorcycle road racing. At the racetrack, Brent found another family within the MRA community. He approached racing with enthusiasm, humility, and camaraderie, always bringing positivity to the paddock and inspiring those around him through his dedication and love for the sport.
Brent had a remarkable ability to connect people and make them feel valued. His kindness, sense of humor, calm presence, and generous spirit touched countless lives both on and off the racetrack. His loss leaves an immeasurable void within our community.
The MRA extends its heartfelt condolences to Brent’s family, friends, teammates, and everyone fortunate enough to know him. During this incredibly difficult time, we stand together in honoring his memory and celebrating the extraordinary life he lived.
A memorial service for Brent Edwards will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at Revive Church. The service will also be livestreamed for those unable to attend in person through the church’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReviveArvada.
In lieu of flowers, Brent’s family asks that donations be made in his honor to SOS Outreach, Colorado Mountain Bike Coalition, or Operation Homefront.
Brent Edwards will be deeply missed and forever remembered by the Motorcycle Roadracing Association and the entire racing community.
