Joseph Maughan Kent II

Nothing anybody can say will ease the pain of losing someone, especially someone like Joe. But please know that Joe made an impact on everyone that none of us could ever hope to achieve in this lifetime, so even though he has gone, he will outlive all of us.
God be with you Kent family, you are in all of our prayers. I will honor his memory for the rest of my life.

My family grew up close to the Kent family and Dr. Kent even pulled my wisdom teeth :-) The one thing I remember the most about Joe is that he was always in a pleasant mood and usually had something funny to say.

As we grew up, everyone knew this day would come, and I personally tried to just put the thought out of my mind, especially when I saw Joe in his wheelchair for the first time, but now that it has come, I realize that he must feel so free to not be bound to a body with...

I was 16 and a priest the the first time Joe passed the sacrament in our ward in Mt. Mesa. I had the privelage of handing him the tray. It was awesome and I will never forget it. God speed Joe. You have always been an inspiration to me.

Dear Kent's,
We were saddened to hear of Joe's passing for the pain tht it brings to your family. I picture him now free from the burdens of a body that brought him earthly trials but I'm sure so much spiritual growth. We have the fondest memories of you all and the part you all played in helping us grow in the gospel. My thoughts and prayers for the comfort our Savior brings are with you. Love to all

Kent family-
Your family has been on our family's mind for the last several weeks as Joe's life came to a close. How we wish we could all be there to be with you at this time. Know there is hope, know there is love, know there are people thinking of you in Arizona (and Missouri) and probably many other places too. We love you and look forward to seeing your family in a couple of weeks, we will just have to wait a little longer to see Joe again.
Lisa Nielsen (and the whole Nielsen clan)

You will always be loved and remembered.

So many thoughts but few words to express how lucky my family and I are for knowing Joe and his family. I will remember Joe for his wonderful sense of humor and big smile.--- He was always smiling!

We are going to miss Joe. Our best memories of go back to his 30th birthday. We got to know his friends and family and realized that he lived a life that enriched everybody around him.

We share in your loss

Jackie, Layne and Sonhild

The Kent's are an amazing family. I have always admired the love, support and care that the Kent Family shares & shows. I have been friends with Jenny since pre-school and I can remember many times that I spent at the Kent home. I will always remember Joe's laugh and smile. My thoughts and prayers are with the Kent Family.
