I will never forget our time on PCU as monitor techs, then my friendship thru the rescue squads, and my time as a Respiratory Therapist at LGH> Kent aleays had a smile, word of encouragement or just a hug to cheer you up.I know that he is in a much better place, no pain, no suffering. Rest in Peace my dear friend.

Kent, I came to see you tonight. There was a calm in the storm and I noticed a beautiful rainbow had emerged in the sky as I drove there.It was just you and me in the dimly lit room. Very peaceful. Said my goodbye and God Bless. When I came out of the funeral home, the sun was shining through the clouds. I will see you again someday, but will miss my farmtown facebook buddy until then. You were a great friend. One of the nicest people I have ever known.

Kent, you will be missed. It was great working with you. I enjoyed our talks, your humor, and insight. We always talked of knocking out the ED sign so no one else would come into the hospital that night. Nights at Transport won't be the same without your humor and friendship. You always welcomed me with a smile that I will never forget. I'm greatful for having know you as a friend. My prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

I knew Kent thru his brother Terry, who preceeded him in death. My sympathy goes out to Mrs. Mason, Cindi, Chris, Michelle, April and to the rest of the family. I know this is a hard time for all of you but hope you can find comfort in knowing that Terry and Kent are together again.
My prayers are with you.

Kent was such a gentle soul and good person. His ability to smile and laugh when it was needed most was the most wonderful trait to share. Next time, the Olive Garden is on me! Love, Lee-Ellen Dunaway

I worked with Kent on transport for years and we would always make that weekly stop to get our Cheese Wontons and Egg Drop Soup......even when I left Centra we stayed in contact through his almost daily funny emails then when the wonderful world of facebook came about Kent was right there always leaving comments and messaging me if I was online late at night. No matter what was the matter he always said "Come on and lets get those cheese wontons and Egg Drop soup, It always made you feel better".......nothing but wonderful memories of old Kent. That smile and giggle of his will stay in my memory forever! Gods got a good one now! Keep smiling Kent and we'll see you one day! Love ya!

Kent I know you are in heaven now and have no problems or worries and when my time comes...I KNOW you will meet me at the gate!! You will live in fond memories my friend......until we meet again Love Shelia Shoemake
