One of the most influential persons in my life, you passed with hardly a notice and you helped so many that you only know now with God. You were so pivotal in turning my life around from certain destruction to now having a “normal” life and 4 beautiful girls. Girls that I teach so many things that you taught me and they will never have to grow up like I did. Miss you my Friend, so many things I’ve wanted to share with you and hear about your life as well. Never had a Friend like you and I doubt I will again. Godspeed Kent, can’t wait to continue our long conversations soon enough.
I’m so sorry to hear about this. Dr. Kent was a mentor for me at Frisco High School. I was trying to look him up to catch up, and I found out this horrible news. If you don’t mind me asking, how did he pass away?
