Over the years Kent worked for several trucking companies and he was also very proud to be a bull hauler. He was a great story teller and a lover of nature and the outdoors, loved his dogs greatly, enjoyed riding his Harley Davidsons, and loved his daughter-in-law’s Filipino cooking, specifically her pork adobo. Most importantly, Kent was a proud, baptized Christian.
