I worked with Kent during the 70's and 80's at the Garrett Park Claims office on Nebel Street. I have many fine memories working along with this very good man. I wish to extend my sympathies to his family. He will always be remembered by me.

My sympathies to Kent´s family. I worked with Kent for many years. He was such a kind and caring person. No matter how crazy the situation in the claims office Kent was calm and collected. He taught us so much by just being himself. May his Family have all the Blessings & Strength they need.

The world has lost a wonderful man, and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I remembered when I started working for State Farm in 1988 and Kent was the Property Damage Superintendent. He was such a generous and kind man and always had a great story to tell. I will always remember him for his kindness and true inspiration and that wholesome laugh.
My condolences to his family and all that loved him. Rest well Kent

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family. Mr. Mason, we are grateful for the fond memories you shared with us. You always made us girls (Kennice, Kesha, Karin, and myself) laugh with your amusing stories. Thank you for showing my family love and support. Your infectious laughter still echoes in my mind, along with your signature phrase 'huh girls' which brings a smile to my face even now. Those cherished moments will forever be etched in my heart.

My Uncle Kent Mason was an excellent example of a good man, father, and family elder. Uncle Kent provided the blueprint of being a true family man and contributor to society. I am grateful for the guidance and showing us the way.

Mr. Mason had both a kind heart and swag! He walked with confidence and instilled that confidence in his kids. Whenever I'd visit, he'd ask how my family is doing. Not just for small talk but he sincerely cared. That was nice. He will be missed.

Kent was the Property Damage Superintendent in Garrett Park when I began my career at State Farm. He was cool, collected and a calming force in a very busy atmosphere. He was always under control. He will always be remembered by his work family! I have no doubt that his friends and family have many fond memories of Kent that will help lessen the grief and provide inspiration moving forward. Thank you, Kent, for the example you set and the memories you provided. I'm thankful to have known you.
