Michael Kent Obituary
July 9, 1953 - July 22, 2021
Michael Kent passed away peacefully after an honorable battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife Alexandra, and his children, Amy and Stacy, whom he loved more than anything.
A lifelong SF resident, he created meaningful relationships around the world. He had a way of making everyone he knew feel important and special. He was always the first to use humor to lighten any mood.
He was compassionate, generous, patient, and a never-ending source of unconditional love and positivity. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him and especially his daughters who idolized him.

Mike and I Jon Pepper go back 50 years plus.. We had lots of great times, camping up in the mountains, eating and drinking good food and wine. We went to a Cran Berry farm and Mike got a big kick out of it.. We went out in the Desert in Lake Havasu and did a lot of target practice, he was an amazing marksman. What a sense of humor, I miss him. Rest in peace Brother, Jonny Pepper

Mike and I were good friends during our Hebrew school years and although we went our separate ways I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing when I saw it in the Washington HS Alumniscope

I visited with Michael and his wife Alexandra when my sister was in the hospital. Michael was a caring and good friend. He exuded warmth and humor that night in a grim situation. My heartfelt sympathy to his wife and children . He is a loss to this world.

Mike and I were teammates in a league consisting of 13 to 15 year olds representing synagogues in the Bay Area. He was the best sport, generous with the ball, always trying to get a bunch of awkward and rowdy teens to play together, always supportive. One could see he was a fine person by just the way he proudly looked at his little brother or by the way he respectfully introduced his parents. We also endured the tortures of Hebrew and Sunday school together for an endless number of years, before and after the Bar Mitzva. He helped us get through. I´m so sorry for your loss

I will always remember Mike with a smile. We spent many Friday and Saturday nights together during our high school years. Such a warm and compassionate
Man. He will be sorely missed.
