Kent Adkins Obituary
Kent Adkins, age 53, was born March 6, 1962 in Benghazi, Libya. and went home to be with his Lord on October 14, 2015. Kent is preceded in death by his father, Donald Richard Adkins. He is survived by his loving wife, Lisa of 24 years; daughter, Ashlyn, and son, Carter. Kent also leaves behind his mother, Carlene Adkins; sister, Susan Adkins; brother, Carl Adkins and nephew, Sam Adkins. Kent also leaves behind some very special family members, cherished longtime friends, and church friends.
Kent graduated in 1980 from Spring Branch High School and enjoyed pitching for the baseball team. He then went to Southwest Texas State University and graduated in 1985 with a Bachelor of Business Administration. He met Lisa and they married (eloped) in 1991 on the island of Kauai. They soon started a family. He was a very proud father of Ashlyn and Carter. Kent has owned Cypress Oil Tool & Supply for the last 15 years.
Kent will be sorely missed and remembered for his boisterous and fun loving personality that you could not resist. He loved to barbeque, watch football, his favorite being the Houston, Texans, and never missed a night of The O'Reilly Factor. There was not a food he didn't like, his favorite being a big bowl of pho. He enjoyed being a greeter on Sunday mornings at the church and made many close friends through the Men's Ministry. Kent never worried about fitting in, he did life his way.

I remember the first time I met you .... throwing the heat at the old Schepps ball field behind the Dairy Queen that is still on Westview and Silber. I remember covering yours and Randy's tab when we would meet up at Pappy's. I remember when we helped Tom W. move his coke machines from College Station. I remember sitting at your apartment with you and Lisa discussing marriage before y'all took off to Hawaii. I remember being at your daughters birthday party and my daughter spending the night. I will miss you my friend .... and I will always remember you.
Godspeed
