I met Kent in the 3rd grade. I had my first sleepover at his house that same year. We were childhood friends that had a blast together. Later in life we played in a band together for many years. Me, Kent, Billy Ford and Jim McCarty played successfully up and down the 41a strip. Some of the best times!!! I have always loved Kent like a brother and was sad to hear of his passing. Kent was always so even keeled and pleasant.  I can’t remember anything except Kent being extremely happy and always having a smile on his face. He will be truly missed
