God bless Kents family and may he RIP. So grateful for his service.

I knew Kent years ago, 1986 I think. We worked at Pavillons where be was usually the night key carrier and I was closing the service deli. Hed page me to make his sandwich cause he didnt like a lot of people touching his food haha. He was a great guy, in fact I almost moved in to rent a room in his La Sierra home when I was having problems and he was trying to help me..as was his way.

So sorry to learn of his passing and the circumstsnces. I am honored to have known him, and glad his memory lives and is honored through the park and memorials.
