Bless you Kent. I have many fine memories of Boy Scouts camping on the Whitewater Creek near Yount. The Nelson Boys always had white sugar powdered donuts from IGA, while the rest of us had to fry bacon and eggs and then clean the cast iron in the creek. May you rest in Peace with the Lord.

So sorry for your loss. Kent was a great guy with a unique sense of humor. He was a deep thinker and I respected his desire to contemplate our purpose in life..... His appreciation of nature was reflected in his photography. He loved his family, and was very proud of all of you.

Brenda, Emma, Olivia, and Sam,
Jim and I are sorry for your loss. Kent was such a fun, good person. He was a tease and had a great sense of humor that brought laughter to a group easily. Many childhood memories are filled with this kind young man. I hope that all the good memories you have of Kent will fill your hearts and comfort you at this time. May God bless all of you.

A part of my childhood left with Kent's passing. My cousins, Steve, Kent, Tom and Doug when they lived in St. Louis near us, were such fun to be around. I am so sorry that he left us so soon. Sending thoughts and prayers of healing to his wife and children and to his brothers.

To Kent's Family,
Brad and I are saddened to hear of Kent's passing. Kent leaves a legacy of love that extends not only to you; Brenda, Emma, Olivia, and Samuel; but also to family and friends. Part of that legacy of love are the pictures that captures the beauty of nature.
Brad and I pray that your Christian faith comforts you through now and the future. We can picture Kent being greeted by his parents, Loy and Marita, Uncle Fred and Aunt Alice, and other uncles and aunts.
God's peace to you.

Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. As his former co-worker, I will miss his witty sense of humor the most. You never knew what he would say next. He really did put the fun in dysfunctional every day. Above all that, he was a tremendously kind man. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Kent was a valuable humorous and well-liked member of River Region Photography Association where I got to know him. I admired his photos of faces in nature which he called Winky-Dinks. About six years ago he exhibited some of his photos at my art gallery (Painted Wren Art Gallery) in Cape Girardeau. Kent was a good man and a good friend. Kent, please prepare a nature trail in Heaven for me. I want to sit and watch a heavenly golden sunset with you.
