Kent R. Foley

Foley, Kent R., 53, passed away October 27, 2014, at Via Christi St. Francis Hospital, Wichita. He was born in Topeka, Kan. on December 27, 1960. He was raised on a farm in Valley Falls, Kan. Kent earned an associaties degree in Agriculture at Pratt Community Community College. While working toward his degree he was an active member of the college rodeo as a bull rider. On November 27, 1982, after a careful consideration of the Bible, Kent was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. He married the love of his life, Susan Stone on June 23, 1984. Together they raised three children, settling in Wichita. Kent was a kind, gentle person who always thought of others. Though he was a man of few words and he avoided the spotlight, he was always ready to help where ever he could. His favorite way of helping people was sharing the Bibles promises with all he came in contact with. All that knew Kent, knew he was an active fisherman and hunter and likely heard a tale of two. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Clarence and Mildred Hefty; his father, Paul and his mother, Laura. He is survived by his wife, Susan Foley; children, Ryan Foley and his wife, Annie, James Foley and his fiancee', Tasha, and Stephanie Neufeld and her husband, Brent; 9 grandchildren, Jordyn, Makenna, Colton, Ethan, Gabby, Jacob, Rylie, Jasmine, and Mersadies; 3 siblings, Kevin Foley, Rhonda and Ray Mitchell, Rex and Linda Foley. He is resting safely in Jehovah's memory, waiting for the coming resurrection to paradise here on earth (John 5:28,29: Acts 24:15). Memorial services will be conducted at 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 2700 S. Richmond, Wichita. Services are under the care of Baker Funeral Home.
