LaNell, I am so sorry to hear about Kent! He's fishing in heaven, I'm sure! The video was a beautiful tribute. I am praying for comfort for you always. Love, Joy Drummond

LaNell, Charles and I are praying for your family in this time of great sorrow with the passing of Kent. He was a wonderful person, always a kind person to work with. I can see him slightly throwing his head back and tucking in his chin as he chuckled at a joke or reminder of something funny. Asking God to fold his loving arms around you and yours.

I remember Kent well from my days at GSU. He was one of the first people I met and worked with when I came on board. It was always fun. Barry Howell

I am saddened to learn of Kent's passing. He and I were close when I worked in Beaumont, Tx. as Safety Director for Gulf States. He was a fine fellow, a friend in times of need and a blessing to those around him. Mike Durham Baton Rouge, LA
