Kent enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, camping, hunting, fishing, and especially spending time with his grandchildren. He was also known for his famous Dutch oven dinners.

Kent was also a member of the Elk’s Lodge and was chosen as Elk of The Year for his many contributions to the Elk’s activities.
