Kent Charles McKusick

Rev. Kent Charles McKusick, 72, died after a short illness on June 4, surrounded by his loving husband and mother-in-law. Born on January 12, 1952, Kent grew up in Guilford, Maine and spent many years living in Greenville and Bangor. Careers included ski instructor, white water raft guide, banker, and more recently UU Minister. He was involved with several theaters in Maine and his love for the stage, wisdom, compassion, and humor were ever present in his life.

In 2006 Kent met the love of his life, James Perrin, and they were married on December 13, 2014.

He retired and moved to Fort Worth, Texas in 2022, where he supported his husband's new career, traveled, and planned further retirement adventures.

Kent was predeceased by his parents, Carl and Alice McKusick and sister and brother-in-law, Sharon and Thomas O'Connell, all of Guilford. He is survived by his husband James Perrin and his mother-in-law Linda Perrin, both of Fort Worth, and his brother and sister-in-law John and Sharon McKusick of Guilford. Several nieces and nephews and cousins also survive.

A celebration of Kent's life will be held Thursday, August 15 at 2pm at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Bangor, with a reception following the service. Those who knew Kent are invited to join us in celebrating his vibrant, fascinating, multi-faceted life.

In lieu of flowers, please support your local community theater by making a donation or attending their productions. It is what Kent would have loved most.
