Although I never got to know him, Kent was a Brother of mine in Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity. I've just learned that we lost Kent a while back. It's always sad when we lose one of our Brothers and we certainly keep them and their families in our thoughts and prayers. I have contacted our National Fraternity Headquarters so they can transfer Kent to the Omega Chapter from the Chapter of Active Brothers. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Kent was a great friend. We met at ACC and joined the same fraternity, Alpha Sig Phi. This comes as a great surprise as none of us knew of his passing. Very sad about that and he has always been in my thoughts.

I'm very sad to hear of Kent's passing. I was fortunate enough to be his friend and fraternity brother and have nothing but great memories of Kent. He would always help you out and always made us laugh. RIP my friend.

I am very saddened to hear of Kent´s passing. As his fraternity brother at Alpha Sigma Phi at Atlantic Christian College, I can say that Kent was well liked by all of us at the Alpha House as well as by many others. Kent always had a great attitude and a knack for making us laugh. I have very fond memories of Kent.
