Former Virgin Airlines pilot Brent Meredith, 57, has publicly shared his diagnosis of early-onset dementia after a four-year struggle with unexplained cognitive decline, initially mistaken for fatigue or low iron.
Despite normal test results and the sudden revocation of his flying and driver’s licenses in 2024, he was finally diagnosed following extensive evaluations.
His wife Karen, a former teacher, now helps care for him, and the couple advocate for better dementia support, especially in aviation, using the hashtag #youngeronsetalzheimers.
