So sorry to hear of the passing of Kent! He was great to work with at work and will be missed! I just thought he would surely survive the battle. My condolences to the family and will keep everyone in my prayers! Brenda Weisenberger
I've only known Kent for a short time, but he made quite an impression. He always had a story to tell about his life experiences, which attest to his true joy for living. Kent demonstrated he was not a quitter, but God decided it was time to let him rest. To his family, who he truly loved and was very proud of, my deepest condolences for your loss. Be strong as Kent was, and continue to honor him.
Sincerely,
Pam Gooden
Art and Jan and family. I’m so sorry for the loss of your son Kent. I’m thinking of you and sending my love.

As a teen, Kent was our paperboy. He lived in our Cul de sac. He was a happy boy with the kindest smile. He was so dependable. Kent never missed a day at that job. As time went on, Ján, his mom, and I would chat about how he was doing. He produced 2 beautiful and talented girls and later on 2 other wonderful girls. Unfortunately, he eventually received the brain cancer diagnosis. He fought this bravely. He was a dedicated father and husband. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. May he rest in peace in the arms of the Lord. Lucy Schleibaum
