Not sure what to say?

Kent was one of the most loving,kind,sweet,gentle and honest person of anyone I have ever met. Not to mention a confidant and like a grandfather/friend to me for the five years I had the pleasure of knowing this wonderful man. He is out of pain now and with his wife Jane in a better place. Goodbye good friend....

We will always have very fond memories of Kent. He was a wonderful man and we were lucky to know him. Our condolences.
The Benjamin Family

I offer my condolences and sympathy to the family.

Edux lives!

I was an Eduction student in the late 70s. I took the class partly because friends I respected recommended it, and partly because it was unique to SUCO. When I transferred out after two years to another college, I was granted credit for a year of "Education" (they must've thought "Eduction" was a typo). And yet: what Kent Lawson imparted to me WAS an education. He challenged me to think about HOW I learned, to question assumptions, to go deeper. His lessons had a profound and lasting impact...

He was a loving and very dear man.
I send my thoughts to Taren, who was a devoted caregiver.

It was my great joy to get to know kent . I wish you girls the best.

Please accept our heartfelt condolence!

I was one of Dr. Lawson's Edux students back in the late 70's and had the pleasure of meeting Jane as well. My memory of him will always be his soft-spoken gentle manner and genuine love for his students. The world has lost a good man.
