Brent Kennedy

Dear Gay, Michelle and Keri, I´m so sorry to hear this news. Melanie and I were just talking about your family and the wonderful memories we made. Much of our conversation turned to your husband/dad. He was a mighty force of intelligence, sophistication and family. My deepest condolences for such a loss.

Dr. Kennedy was my mentor, I spent a year with him that I will never forget nor will I ever be able to repay what he gave me. There are so many like me - he gave so much to his profession. Thank you Brent. I think of you often and my year in salt Lake. Alberico Sessa, MD

Dear Gay and Family, I will miss him eternally. To think that without him, my life would be entirely different. He routinely saw the good in people and enabled them a similar opportunity to rise above the chaff. A great teacher, educator, surgeon and master of his craft. He will never be forgotten. Certainly not be me. I am blessed to have been affected by his presence. Sincerely, Erik Nuveen, MD, DMD

Gay, I was sad to hear of Brent´s passing. My thoughts & prayers to You, your girls and family. Remembering Loving Memories, Mary Zahasky (formerly Detton)

Dear Gay, We send our love to you and your family at this very tender time. We were so sorry to hear of Brents passing. Brent was definitely one of the best! He was always kind, funny, thoughtful and literally the smartest kid in our 5th grade class which is when we became friends. I still remember when he fell in love with you. You two were the most adorable couple, whenever he looked at you it was with such love in his eyes. What a special love you shared. After losing touch...

To Gay and Brent´s family: I had the pleasure to act as Brent´s lawyer many years ago. He was warm, kind, and gentle. Three great adjectives for a life well lived. My love to you. Steve Owens

Dear Gay and Family, I am so sorry to hear the news of Brent's passing! My friendship with him was a special part of my life! From the exciting times we shared in Phoenix and Sigma Nu, shocking everyone with our outlandish pranks and proposals, from me hanging from the tree in our yearbook photo to our crazy fake drive-by shooting in front of all the cops having dinner at Denny's. River Rafting without knowing what we were doing! Trying to get the most out of life that we could. Then...

I was Brent´s first fellow in his facial cosmetic fellowship program, which was the first of its kind in the specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Brent was truly a pioneer in this field. He was a great teacher and a great example of a kind and caring surgeon. Patients loved him. He and Gay were so great during my year there. My thoughts go out to his family and friends who have lost such a great person. Mark A. Knibbe, MD, DDS, FACS
