Kent will truly be missed, he was such a warm, caring, kindhearted man. I have known Kent for 30 years and he has been the same since the first day I met him. To the family I say hold on to each and more importantly hold on to God for he will see you through this trying time. Kent was like a ray of sunshine and God took him home to help light of the Heavens. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers and want to thank you all for sharing Kent with us. It is so rare that you find a soul as genuine as Kent and when you have the opportunity to be in the presence of that soul you have been Blessed. Kent thanks for your support during the illness and loss of my daughter. May you truly rest in peace and one day we shall all see each other again on the other side.Linda Savage-Harper and Family
The Gibson Companies are so saddened by the loss of such a kind & amazing friend. He was such a treasure in this community. His kindness to this part of the forgotten area was appreciated & he was beloved by all. My employees were in such silence & sadness over the tragic loss of such a respected man. He touched so many lives. May God’s Grace surround his beloved family & friends.

I grew up in Whitehaven with Kent. Seems like we were always in the same room. He was always a very nice young man and I remember him fondly. Joy I am so sorry for your loss. I know we haven’t seen much if each other since high school, but please know you are in my prayers!
