Sad to hear of Ken's recent passing. I found Ken to be soft-spoken, kind-hearted, and a keen listener. I did not know him well, but he was very welcoming and supportive when I began attending Central Baptist Church many years ago.
I am confident that Ken has arrived well received in God's kingdom.

My husband met Kent through a wrong tel. number! His call led my husband to ask questions and Kent became our Financial Advisor! We found him to be kind, patient and always available to us. We will miss you. R.I.P. Kent.

Kent and I were very close in age, our birthdays were just 4 months apart. I wish we could have hung out together more, but alas we lived so far apart. Some years ago I spent a weekend at his place in Port Hardy while on a trip to BC. We had a great time. Only saw him sporadically since then but really enjoyed his company. R.I.P. Kent

What a joy to read of the full life Kent lead and his time here was too short for everyone who loved him and the life he loved. Such a gentleman. God bless you Kent. Louisa, cousin, Melbourne.

Hello, we were saddened to hear about the passing of Kent. We were Kent and Sophie's local pet store, and it always brought a smile to our faces when they visited. Sophie would run so fast behind the till. She always had a smile on her face and would make the cutest tap dance prance with her paws.

Kent loved Sophie so much, and we would love to pass on our love to her. If a family member could please reach out to us, we have prepared a care package for her. ([email protected])

With lots of love,
The Staff of Bosleys on Yates.

My fondest memories of Kent were from when we were young kids growing up as cousins in Scarborough. He was a fun loving happy kid and always seemed to be "up to something"! Years later, we were so fortunate to be able to gather on Salt Spring for the various Cronin get togethers. Kent was so welcoming and full of fun. He always had something interesting, funny or witty to say. He will be so missed. R.I.P. Kent.
