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.
