Kent Davis Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Kent graduated from Southwest Missouri State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting. Kent was employed as an accountant over the course of his career. When not working, or walking the neighborhood, he had many hobbies including collecting antiques, frequenting estate sales, and using his amazing skills as a carpenter to start and complete many projects. Kent will be remembered for his quick wit, one liners, willingness to help you out or lend you the right tool for the job, his commitment to his faith, and his great love for his wife Ilene.
Kent is survived by his spouse Ilene Davis; his daughter Heidi (Houston, Texas), his son Ben (Christine), two grandchildren Emma and Nathan (Kansas City, Missouri); his brother Kimmey (Republic, Missouri).
A funeral service will be held for Kent on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 at Greenlawn South in Springfield, Missouri. Visitation will be at 9:00 am, funeral service at 10:00 am, and burial to follow at Hazelwood Cemetery located in Springfield, Missouri.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made in Kent's memory to South Haven Baptist Church in Springfield, Missouri.

For Kent´s family. . . we met them at a monthly church luncheon and usually shared a table with them. What a cute twosome you were, Ilene! You each had hugs for us!! He loved his God, his family, and life! He was always interested in how we were and how we were doing! He´s now where he always mentioned where we´d all be together some day; no more pain! He´s
now with The Master Carpenter! He´ll be missed here, fondly Richard and Shirley
