Kent was confirmed at St. Mark Lutheran church, Ypsilanti, Mi. and loved the Lord. He graduated high school from Ypsilanti High School. He owned his own business, Nice Guys Construction for several years and recently Kent's Lawn Care and worked at Giles Industries. About ten years ago he left Michigan and moved to Tennessee to be near his parents. He quickly fell in love with the country life. He loved to hunt and fish, loved building homes and farming. The real love and focus of his life was his daughter Isabelle who will miss him so much. Seems such a short time he was with us but he enjoyed life and was such a hard worker trying to take care of his parent's farm, work a job and make sure his mother had what she needed. He took good care of everything here at home and kept up with taking care of Isabelle. He was a person who could work on and fix almost anything. He will be greatly missed by all his family. Heaven gained another angel and now he will be with his Dad again who he greatly admired. Go rest high our loved baby boy.
