Our hearts are heavy as we share that Kent's end of life is upon us. Kent is one of those unforgettable people — loud, funny, stubborn in his own way, and always true to himself. If you knew him, you probably have a story (or three) to tell. He had a way of leaving an impression, and that’s how we’ll always remember him.

Kent doesn't want anything fancy; he didn’t want a fuss or people dressed up and sad — he just wanted to be remembered. To honor his wishes, we’re keeping it simple. We’re raising money to cover the cost of cremation services so that his family can lay him to rest the way he wanted; his wife Pam and each of his sons, Michael, Brian, Richard, and Andrew to have an urn with a piece of him that'll eventually be passed down to his grandchildren Kaleb, Rielle, Rook, Kilian, Colum, Aurora, Ensley, Alijah, Sybil, Caspain, and his Great Grandson Arlo. Donations will also contribute toward medical expenses and a Celebration of Life in honor of Kent.

If you’re able to donate, it would mean the world to his family. No amount is too small, and if you can’t give, simply sharing this fundraiser or keeping us in your thoughts is more than enough.

Thank you for helping us carry him home; in the way he wanted.
