Mark Henry “Marty” Brant, beloved husband, dad and G-dad passed away unexpectedly, January 9, 2024, at Fairview Park Hospital in Dublin, Georgia due to complications after surgery.
Marty was born in Fairfax, SC on December 28, 1959, the twin son of the late Joseph Jasper "Jack" Brant and Amaryllis B. Brant of Ulmer.
Marty graduated from Sheldon Academy in 1978 and shortly afterward began his career with CSX before joining Ogeechee Railway as General Manager. He later relocated to Columbia, where he was owner of Carpentry Plus Construction Company before retiring and moving to Yemassee, SC.
