I has the pleasure of working with Kent in the KSP. He was one you could always count on to do the right thing and to try to be the first one there if you needed help with anyone or anything.
He was my buddy and was a great friend and man!

So sorry for the loss of Ken. We will pray for your family as well as his surviving children and grandchildren. God bless you all.
Kent was a very good friend of mine for many years. I will miss seeing him and talking to him at the house and the lake. Prayers to the family.
Kent was one great Trooper and person. As my training officer, I couldn’t have had a better one. He was always a friend to my wife and kids. We extend our condolences to all.
We love you Kent and are devastated by this loss. You fit perfectly in our whole family. I loved your spirit, your smile and how much you love my sweet cousin Sandra.
We absolutely loved listening to all of your stories and experiences!
You will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all who love him.
