I am sorry for your loss Aunt Colleen, he will be greatly missed. I know we didn’t see eye to eye on most things but you all are still my family and I love you all. We will forever think about you guys and always remember the good times we did share on occasion. Love always your oldest Niece.
Kent was an amazing man and my larger than life image of who Santa was.
I will cherish our one time we rang tbe bells for Salvation Army at the Baker’s on Galvin Rd. Kent will truly be remembered and missed by many. God received Kent with open arms in the Heavenly Kingdom and we shall meet again. Love and Hugs to Colleen and family.

You are so loved and will be surely missed
I’m so sorry to hear of Kent’s passing. I’ll never forget the time I came over with Noel to babysit. Kent was always so happy and welcoming, even at church the first time I met the family.
My condolences and love through pray, to you and everyone that loved Kent.
Our thoughts are with you Coleen. Kent was a great friend, for many years, and John and I had many adventures with him in scouting. Jenny remembers him also, as you both made her time at Ft Atkinson during the the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial much more bearable ( a week camping with me) than she would have thought. possible. Kent always made me smile,
Kent well be missed small children and many adults know how kind he was.. May God Bless you I am sure you will be help ing God. At Christmas time. God Bless your loving family
Just a note to let you know how much Kent meant to me. I was 6 years old when he was born. Mal always teased me that if he didn’t come by a certain date they were going to send him back. My mom said I cried and said to her “if they are going to send him back – can we have him! We had great times, lots of family get-togethers and Kent & Colleen’s house. Especially Christmas when Kent would dress as Santa and come through the door. It was magical for the kids!
Celebrate that Kent had a great life and gave so much of himself to others. He will be missed. We will always love you! My Heart and Love to their family! Aunt Ariel Bloom and family
Kent was a man no one can ever forget even when all of us cousins tried to tackle him at once and still couldn’t bring him down. Wonderful service and will miss him so much. love you cousin.
