My deepest sympathy to you Monica and the Martner family...i knew Kent from ECMC, and we rode the bus together from Imation headquarters when he didn't ride his motorcyle to work. he was so smart when it came to IT stuff. I have been out of town and was unable to attend the gathering for him with his family and friends. Please know Monica that i will miss seeing him on the bus and laughing. He was a lot of fun. I know he will be the head of some IT area and will have all the answers. i would get on his case if he didn't have a hat on his head when the weather was very cold. and he would put it on and say "yes Mother". He would talk to me about his daughter and keep me posted on what was going on with her. we would chat all the way downtown. our prayers are with your family...

My deepest condolence to the entire Martner family. I'll always remember Kent as kind and easy going with a fabulous head of red hair. I fondly remember skiing with Kent in Jr. High.
My sincere sympathy,

I was shocked and very saddened to hear about Kent, he will be greatly missed. I new Kent from EP HS. The Martner's always had fun parties! I will always remember how soft spoken Kent was and he was very pationate about all of his interests. One of the last times I saw him he gave me some answers for some technical questions I had at work with our new Telepresence system, he went as far as writing all of the (over my head) IT information down for me. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family, he will be so greatly missed but I know he will be with some great people and I know my Dad will hang with him and show him how to have fun on the other side.

I was very shocked and saddened by the news of our loss of Kent. I grew up in the same neighborhood and he was a classmate of mine. Kent was always so nice to me and had a very calm and easy manner. The world has suffered a loss now that he has departed. But I know each person that Kent touched in his lifetime will be cherished by all. My love goes out to all of his friends and family. God bless you all and hold on to the love you have in your memories of him.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Kent at Imation. He was always so friendly & you could often hear him laughing. The flowers he brought in during the summer months were admired by many. It was so nice of him to share their beauty with us. May God bring you comfort & peace during this most difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It's nothing short of a shock to have this happen. My family and the Martners go way back when Eden Prairie was nothing but a little village. Please try to stay strong.

I was shocked to hear about Kent. We miss Kent at Imation. I enjoyed working with Kent (basically having Kent help me with networking issues at our Juarez site). Kent was a freindly, caring person. When we had a drive to help stock a St Paul food shelf, Kent was eager to help and selflessly vountered to give up any kind of company sponsored rewards and use the proceeds to to help those families in need.

I know this must be a difficult time for the family. I hope during this difficult time, you will invite God into your pain.
