Phillip Kent Durst

Oh my heart aches, I just saw this. What a wonderful man who took so much time to work with my daughter and my husband who is now deceased and what a wonderful, wonderful person always such a great neighbor always always great talks. One of his best talks he gave in church 1 time. It was about how our struggles in life. Come and how we need to Learn on how to nip thing is in the butt, and he was referring to it like a tree and how the tree grows, but it'll get a little start that grows off,...

Kent was such a great man! He was kind, courteous, and caring. He always had such a positive outlook on life no matter the circumstances!

He was an amazing principal, I went to harwood elementary school!!

Karen and Family. . .
I am so very sorry to read that Kent passed away. He was so inspiring to work with and always happy. I have missed my association with both you and Kent through these past years.
We are living in St. George for the winter and regret that we will not be in town to pay our respect. Please accept my deepest sympathy and love to all of you.
Thinking of you always,
Deidre Taylor

Karl, your Dad was such a well-rounded and fun man. Yes, I slept on the lunchroom floor at Midway at a party honoring our daughter Suzanne and other copious readers. I hope your mind will be full of pleasant memories.

Wow what a loss. Such a great man. My thoughts are with your family.

I have many fond memories of my years at Kinghorn with Mr. Durst as principal. A favorite was spending the night at school for achieving reading goals and being served breakfast by the principal.

Kent, knowing you was a blessing in my life. You will be much missed. Thanks for all your service and kindness. I remember once you translated for a Spanish speaking patient we were treating. Over the radio! Helped a total stranger you never met.

He was he BEST principal! I remember him camping out on the roof of the school because we met our reading goal as a school! He was so kind, even when he needed to be stern.
