Mike Dent

Mike Dent, 68, was born in Fallon to Ethel and Tom Dent and passed away on April 30, 2026. Mike spent his life farming in the Fallon area and later laser-leveling fields for farmers throughout Northern California and surrounding towns in Nevada. He was known for his hard work, dedication, and willingness to help others.

Mike loved the outdoors and especially enjoyed fishing, hunting, and summer camping trips with his two boys. Some of his happiest moments were spent with family, sharing stories around campfires, and enjoying the simple things in life.

He deeply loved his grandchildren and cherished every moment with them. Mike especially enjoyed showing his youngest grandchild, Cayson, his large collection of toy tractors and letting him play with the toy carryalls he proudly collected over the years.

Mike will be remembered for his hardworking spirit, love of family, and the many memories he created with those closest to him.

He is survived by his son, James (Ashley) Dent, of Elko; and his beloved grandchildren, Taylor Dent, Bryton Beckwith, and Cayson Dent, along with many loving family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

Services will be held June 5, 2026, at 11 a.m. at Smith’s Funeral Home.
