Mr. Hartzberg was a member of the Presbyterian Church.

He enjoyed working, watching television and raising dogs.

His family wrote: "Kent was a quiet, generous, friendly person. He loved his dogs and way of life. He had a heart of gold and will be missed by all who knew him. His family will miss his happy smile and easy way of life. He was a friend to everyone; there wasn't anyone he could turn away. He was much loved by his family."

Survivors include his mother and stepfather, Louise and Lennart Augustsson of Anchorage; uncles and their spouses, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Lofgren of Anchorage, Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Lofgren of Poulsbo, Wash., and Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hartzberg of Duluth, Minn.; aunts, Marion Indihar of Joseph, Ore., and Carol Woolsey and Marvel Hartzberg; and many cousins in Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Minnesota.

He was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth Hartzberg; grandparents, Bill and Anna Lofgren and Mr. and Mrs. Hartzberg Sr.; and many aunts and uncles.

The family suggests that memorial donations be made to the Anchorage Rescue Mission or to Bean's Cafe.
