Janelle, Rhonda and Family,
Sorry to hear about his passing. Kent was a great person. My youngest daughter did not get to know him, but my oldest one did and it was always a joke he was known as "the chicken man". When we found out that is the first thing Heather said "the chicken man". We love you all and we are praying for you.

The kind and gentle person he was, I'm sure the one who made him, realized how special he was, to be left in the midst of this cruel world. He belongs to a place that is kind, a place that is away from all the hassles of this world. May his spirit experience celestial peace and heavenly bliss.
We begin to remember not just that he died, but that he lived a life that gave us memories to marvelous to forget. Kent was my cherished and valued friend, I will remember him always.
