Kent Edwar Rosser

Rosser, Kent Edwar, 19, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday evening, May 30, 2012, in Austin, TX. Kent was born in Dallas, TX, in 1992. He then moved with his parents to Wichita, KS, in 1996, and moved to Austin, TX, in 2007, where he was working on the technical support team at Telenetwork. Kent attended Wichita Collegiate in Wichita, then attended Andover Central. In Austin, he attended Bowie High School. Wherever he lived, Kent's easy, outgoing and compassionate personality charmed everyone. That is best summed up in the hundreds of messages of condolence posted on his Facebook page. This one captures his spirit well: "Kent Rosser, was one of the nicest guys I've met. When I first came to Andover not that many people talked to me. Then I met Kent. We weren't exactly close, but we were friends. His hugs would make my bad days so much better. And I loved his laugh. For many of you that know him, you know just how amazing Kent was and how much people enjoyed being around him. I was extremely lucky to know him and call him my friend. It's crazy how people can be taken from your life so fast. Enjoy the time you have with people while you still can. RIP Kent, I'll miss you and so will many. You'll always be in our hearts." There is no sport Kent didn't love or appreciate, both as a participant and fan. He was particularly fond of the Dallas Cowboys, the Dallas Mavericks, the Texas Rangers and, much to his father's chagrin, the Texas Longhorns. Kent is survived by his parents, Cathie Rosser of Austin and Jay Rosser of Dallas; his sister, Kimberly; his grandparents, Jean and Jim Kent, and Jack Rosser, all of Dallas; his aunt and uncle, Terri and George Kent, and cousins too numerous to mention. Private graveside services will be held at Mount Calvary Cemetery in Dallas. A memorial celebration of his life will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 5, in the Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church at Walnut Hill and Preston Road in Dallas, with the Reverend Paul Seelman officiating. For those so inclined, memorials in Kent's honor may be made to the American Heart Association. Harrell Funeral Home, Austin, Texas has charge.
