Brent, or “Boozer” to his family and friends, was born on March 2nd, 1978 in Tahlequah, OK, the son of Walter Lee Pigeon, Sr. and Joyce Gayle (Smith) Pigeon. He grew up with three brothers, Walter, Anthony and Arron Pigeon. He graduated from Tahlequah High School and Tulsa Welding School. He found great joy in time spent outdoors and could often be found down at the creek or kayaking the river nearby. Boozer also enjoyed shooting guns and bows from his vast collection, often sporting his favorite brands, Duluth Clothing & Black Rifle Coffee Co. He loved playing his guitar, especially as a part of the “band” with his uncles, Rick and Roger Pigeon. Music played a key role in Boozer’s life, including his love for the Turnpike Troubadours. His love for the OU Sooners was infinite. If he wasn’t watching the game, he was listening to it. Despite his love for OU, he would put on the competition’s colors to serve at the concession stand for the Arkansas Razorbacks to support his son’s basketball team. Brent adored his family and friends, especially his children and grandchild. Although “Boozer” was his nickname since he was a baby, his proudest moment was being promoted to “Pa.” He had a quiet strength about him, especially when life tested him, remaining a steady presence to those around him.
Boozer became a part of something bigger on March 7th, 2023, surrounded by his family at home. Kind‐hearted and fun, he was loved and loving to the end.
Brent is preceded in death by his grandparents, several aunts and uncles, cousins and friends.
Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Tanya Martin of Welling, and his children, Rily (Tristan) Walker of Tahlequah, Stormy Pigeon, Derek Pigeon, Trenton Nichols, and Benton Martin, all of Welling, Destiny Nichols of Peggs, and his granddaughter Hayden Walker of Tahlequah. His memory is also celebrated by his parents, Walter and Joyce Pigeon, brothers Walter (Tammy West) Pigeon, Anthony (Tamara) Pigeon, Arron (Caitlin Conrad) Pigeon, nieces, and nephews.
