Kent was a good friend of mine when we where teenages at Beale AFB.He was smart and fun to be with.Last time I saw Kent was the summer of 1974,my family stopped by March AFB.Kent and a friend took my sister Karen and I  to Disneyland for the evening.We had so much fun, and got lost too! I am so very sad to hear that Kent has passed away so young.

You were always a kid at heart and couldn't finish a joke without laughing hysterically so no one could understand it, but we laughed because you were laughing. I love you and miss you. You had so much to offer...

My thoughts and prayers are for you and your family and friends at this sad time

The tide recedes, But leaves behind Bright seashells on the sand. The sun goes down, But gentle warmth Still lingers on the land. The music stops, And yet it echoes on In sweet refrains...For every joy that passes, Something beautiful remains. ~Irish Blessing
Rest in Peace Kent you are loved and will be missed.

KC,
I miss you and I love you.  You were really funny and I loved hanging out with you. I loved playing video games with you. I loved it when you wore that hat at Christmas and teased me. It was fun shopping with you and grandma and playing in the garage.  I hope you get to light a bunch of firecrackers! I love you so much, love Shelby

KC,
I will miss your beautiful smile, your infectious laugh and the wonderful twinkle in your eyes! More than anything I will miss the look on my children's faces after you have played with them or spent quality time teaching them something. You can never and will never be replaced in our hearts and lives! I know you are telling off color jokes and holding your mother's hand! Tell Elvis we said, "Hi!"  Love you forever our favorite Aggies Papa! xoxo Mellie

Although we were seperated by miles, the loss in not any easier. My thoughts and prayers are with my mother who loved KC to the moon and back.

Kent, thank you for two outstanding girls! They will miss you! May you rest in the palm of God.

Dear Kent,
Surely by now you must know that it is hard for your TAMU Corps of Cadets outfit buddies in Sq V. to see you leave us so quickly.  Your life, while far too short; depriving all of us of your good humor and kind nature, will long be remembered by the Filthy Fifth.  Rest in peace, my friend.

Thank you, Kenneth, for your service to our country.
