Kent Lee Smith

Margo--
I was so surprised and saddened when I read your Christmas note including the news of Kent's death. My heart and prayers are with you as you traverse this new and difficult journey. Love Renee Herren Luker

Tyler, and Smith family. Praying that God grants you you strength during your time of grief. Accept our deepest sympathy.

Kent, know at the Cheshire Health Club pool as Mr. Butterfly, was admired for his mastery of the butterfly stroke. His open smile and gentle manner made him a favorite with mid-day swimmers.
Kent also generously gave of himself to the service of the worshipers at the West Asheville Presbyterian Church, where he breathed new life into the vitality of the congregation.
Many folks' lives were touched by his sermons, which were compassionate affirmations of a life well lived through...

Margot - condolences from your Ridgewood HS guidance family - Kent's legacy is substantial and the dignity of your family and the kindness that Kent, the boys and yourself always displayed is always remembered with fondness here in Ridgewood. Our hearts go out to you and the boys - With sympathy - Pete Burkard and Laura Moore

Kent was a fun, personable, supportive and kind youth minister at my church in the 1970's. He and his wife, Margo, were my friends and they had a major positive influence on my formative years. I know his family will miss him terribly, but know also that he will always be fondly remembered by this "kid" of his.
