Kent Grossman Obituary
May 5, 1959 - June 27, 2022
Mesa, Arizona
Kent William Grossman passed away peacefully surrounded by family on June 27th, 2022 at the age of 63 after a courageous recovery effort from a stroke. He is survived by his dear wife, Tha, and three children, Michael, Andrew, and Lisa.
Kent was born on May 5th, 1959 along with his twin sister, Karen, to Susanna Linney and William Grossman. He also grew up with his older brother, Roy, and older sister, Joyce.
After high school, Kent served in the United States Army and was stationed in South Korea where he worked as a power generator mechanic and operator. After his honorable discharge from the military, he worked as a diesel mechanic in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 30 years.
In his free time, he loved doing home improvement projects, constantly thinking of ways to build home structures and design beautiful landscapes. He stayed active by hiking trails and bowling with his team in league tournaments for decades. He impressively bowled two perfect games in competition in his life! You could also often find him cruising international waters, visiting several corners of the world.
Although we may be stricken with grief from the loss of a loving husband and father, he will always be remembered in our hearts for his hard work, energy, sense of humor, and free spirit.
There will be a veteran's funeral service to honor Kent's life on Friday, July 22nd, 2022 at 11am MST at National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona located at 23029 N Cave Creek Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85024.
