John Kent Obituary
John C. Kent, age 82, of Corrales, New Mexico, passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at home on May 5, 2025.
A mathematician by profession and a passion for sports, John carved out a distinctive career collecting and analyzing sports injury datawork that became foundational in the emerging world of legal sports gambling. Outside of his professional life, John had a deep love for sports, especially hockey. He spent hours watching games and following his favorite teams.
John is survived by his daughter Mary Kent, and grandchildren, Paxton and Lennon. John's brother William Kent died 2 days later. They will both be deeply missed by all.
He will be remembered for his sharp mind, his quick wit, and his lifelong devotion to animal rescue.
A private service will be announced later.
