I was stationed with Kent at Ft. Benning, GA. It breaks my heart to hear about this. I've been trying to find him for a couple of years. He was a great guy, and I'm honored to have served with him!

Kent and I served together in the Army. Although I did not stay in contact with Kent, He left an impression with me through the years. My God He Was A Funny Guy. Left me in tears more than a few times, And got us all through some really tough times. He Will Be Remembered. He Will Be Missed.

I'm truly sorry for your loss Brenda and family. My deepest sympathy goes out to you all, Matt, Luke and Audrey also. May Kent rest in piece and I will keep you in my prayers through this difficult time.
Kent was a best friend/brother to me, he will forever be missed. I learned a lot from Kent about life, about work and the career I was pursuing he was a great teacher, he was truly an amazing man, always willing to lend a helping hand, the type of man who would bust his tail to earn a buck then give his last dollar away just to make someone else happy.

My sister Sam, and I knew Kent when Audrey babysat for my Mom Chris. He was always funny, and he made the best breakfast casserole. A few years ago I found out he knew my In-Laws Jan and Dale Ploog, and grew up with my brother-in-laws. He will be missed, but I am sure not forgotten. Our hearts go out to all who knew Kent during this difficult time. May God surround you with comfort, and healing in this most difficult of time. With Love- The Ploog, Roady, and Wood Families
