He was a hard worker in all areas of his life which was a blessing to his family and fellow man. He had a great passion for missionary work on both sides of the veil.

Kent's legacy is love, service, kindness, laughter, music, and finding joy in the simple things God created.
There has been such a tremendous outpouring of love, compassion, and service from so many: stories have been countless about his dry sense of humor and love. All that knew him knew they were cherished. It is fun to think about the reunions he is having now. His legacy to those who knew him will be remembered for generations.
