Kent attended high school in Fortville, Ind., joining the Navy in 1955. 

He worked until retiring from Guide Lamp in Anderson, Ind., in 1993, where he was a tool-and-die maker.

Upon retirement he and Cis moved to Hyattville, Wyo., where he enjoyed being a cowboy and ranching. 

He owned a home in Alamo's Sonora, Mexico where he last visited in 2018 with one of his sons. He was a very popular guy with his Mexican friends!

Kent enjoyed hunting, fishing, reading and giving nicknames. He loved spending time with his family and friends.

A celebration of life is being planned for early summer. We will also honor Kent this spring near his birthplace of Fortville, Ind. Arrangements have been entrusted to Atwood Family Funeral Directors. Cremation has taken place at Antelope Butte Crematory in Greybull.
