Good bye my friend. You made a huge impact in my life. I cherished your guideance, wisdom and humor. I will always remember you….
Kent was a man who knew no strangers and was open to helping anyone that wanted it. His big smile and kind face would disarm the hardest out there and you could trust him with anything. I had the honor and privilege of knowing him for nearly 20 years and he was a pivotal person in my life to getting my life on track. I’m so thankful God had us cross paths; myself and my family are better for it. Godspeed Kent, I’ll miss our talks; see you soon.

An amazing man that was truly inspiring.
I met Kent last year when he came to Walker Automotive and introduced us to True Care. Kent was always so full of life and was one of the most interesting people I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with. I will truly miss his phone calls and his happy go lucky self as he would walk into the dealership. Kent was such a unique man. He will truly be missed.
