"To the Family - I am so sad for your loss.. For Friends, well, you already know. I met Kent in December 2015. Although God only graced me with a few weeks of Kent's presence, I have been forever touched. First and foremost, I salute Kent - for what he pledged and did for our Country. I will take the liberty to speak for a few who, like me - who were blessed to know him...His kind and kindred spirit will always be with me and those I love. He demonstrated the selflessness for strangers and kindness for others, I can only hope to exemplify. Peace Be with My Friend....."
