Kent Francis Muccilli

Our Lord called home Kent F Muccilli, 74, of Chandler, Arizona on December 5, 2020, while surrounded by his family. He was born in Rice Lake, Wisconsin to Dr. Alfred E and Eileen L Muccilli. Kent's family moved to Arizona when he was just 2 years old and Kent lived most of his life in Mesa, Arizona, where he graduated from Mesa High School in 1964. He attended University of Arizona and graduated from Mesa Community College with a degree in Business. He also served honorably in the United States Army Reserve.

In 1969, Kent began his 30-year career with the State of Arizona Department of Revenue, where he held many supervisory and administrative positions until his retirement in 1999.

Kent also had a second career as a Test Car Driver for Kett Engineering. Being a lifelong car guy, he loved this job as he was able to test-drive vehicles ranging from economy cars to the some of the finest exotic cars in production. His love of cars was also evident by his ownership of some iconic automobiles over the years, such as his ’66, ‘67, ’71, ’94, and ‘04 Corvettes.

He was a lifelong fan of the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona State Football Teams.

Two of his favorite travel destinations were the Oregon coast and Monterey, CA.

Kent is survived by his wife of 35 years, Donna (Feight), his sons, Thomas Kent of Queen Creek, AZ, and Michael Ryan (Kylie), his grandson, Nate Ryan of Mt Juliet, TN, his brother, Marcus (Bonnie) of Redmond, Washington, and his sister-in-law, JoAnn (David) VanBilliard. He is preceded in death by his daughter, Christina Marie.

At Kent’s request, no services will be held. Arrangements have been made by Valley of the Sun Mortuary.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, donations in memory of Kent can be made to Hospice of the Valley, National Kidney Foundation, or Arizona Animal Welfare League.
