Michelle Hendrix said after her brother Brent's death, "she was lost." She relied on her brother for strength and support.

The former Chase High graduate and US Army infantryman in 2003, Brent "Hoss" Hendrix died on April 23, 2020 in Cincinnati after taking his own life. Hendrix lost a leg in the Iraq war in 2006 and for the next 14 years was haunted about the day his Jeep hit an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) while on duty. He would later say he was "blown up" and didn't remember the horrible accident. He would undergo more than 100 surgeries, was hospitalized at Walter Reed and other hospitals.
