Dr. Kent was active in the Marco Island Tennis Club and enjoyed traveling the world. A retired professor from UCI Medical Center in California, he spent time as a volunteer on medical missions in South America.
He is survived by two sons, Nigel and Ashley, a daughter, Penny, a sister in Australia, six grandchildren, one who preceded him in death, four great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
