Kenton Bartlett Obituary
Kenton "Kent" Wayne Bartlett, age 40, a resident of the Porterville and Springville area, passed away on September 20, 2024, in Visalia, California.
Kent was born on August 15, 1984, to Richard and Sandra Bartlett in Lindsay, California.
He grew up in Porterville, attending Los Robles Elementary, Bartlett Middle School, and Monache High School, graduating in 2002. Throughout his youth, Kent was very involved in sports, playing soccer, baseball, water polo, and diving. After high school, Kent spent several years in the San Diego area attending junior college and working various construction jobs. He later returned to Porterville, where he worked for the City of Porterville in both the Water Department and Parks Services.
Kent was an avid outdoors man, spending much of his free time hunting, fishing, and camping in the nearby foothills and mountains. He also loved exploring the mountains with friends in his Polaris ATV, known as the General. Kent was a friend to many and a stranger to no one. He was well known for dropping by unannounced for a quick visit, always bringing good
jokes and lots of laughs.
Kent was preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Sandra Bartlett. He is survived
by his brother, Blake, and wife Stacy Bartlett; nieces Brynn and Peyton Bartlett; Uncle Greg and wife Christi Bartlett; Aunt Stacey and husband Eddie Farquharson; Uncle Rick and wife Shona Thiesse; and many cousins.
A Graveside Service will be held at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Porterville California on Monday, October 7th , 2024 at 11:00AM, with a reception to follow.
If desired, donations in his memory can be made to his grandmothers memorial
scholarship at Porterville College. Donations can be sent via mail to the Porterville College
Foundation, 100 East College Avenue, Porterville, CA 93257, with the memo: Marian Bartlett Scholarship.

Mrs. Bartlett was my Home Ec. teacher in High School in 1951, When I graduated in 1954 I received the Bank of America for Home Ec.
I aided her in teaching a sophomore class when I was in college. It was located then next to the high school. I met her off and
on since then and when she was in the cancer center I visited with her,
I wrote her a letter before she died telling her how much she had meant to me by what she taught me. Greg told me it meant a great deal to her.
I am giving a donation in her memory,
She was, indeed, a special person in my life.
