I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Kent. I met him when he was sixteen at Daybreak. That was a story haha. Was excited when he came back to work two years later. We had some moments but he was always himself, Kent. The kid, to me, a kid with a super great smile and fun-loving and caring personality. He most definitely will always be remembered by so many. I will always see that smile and hear his voice in the hallway. RIP Kent. Dance with the angels. See you again some day.

Kent I remember the first time I met you. It was on the camping trip we did for work. From that day forward I have gotten the privilege to get to know you. You helped me with always surprising Clowey. You were the life of the party on any given day and ready to light up the room. Always ready to give advice or give a lending hand. You were a risk taker and I admired you for that. You stood up for what you believed in and there was no backing down. You took pride in yourself and we’re wise beyond your years. I will miss you dearly Kent!
Sending prayers to all of his friends and family!!!

Kent as I sit here with tears in my eyes and wanting this all to be a bad dream all I can think of is all the great crazy memories we made together. Only five years of friendship which felt like a lifetime with you so many great memories I will cherish forever. You where the light everyone needed in their lives you made all my dark days brighter just by seeing your smile. You where my best friend the one person I could absolutely tell anything too and know there was no judgment. You became a big part in my family lives as well. You made an impact on everyone you meet. Your smile and laughter made everyday a better one. From meeting you as freshman in high school to moving in with each other there was never a dull moment. You where so smart and kind and helped way to many people out before even thinking about yourself you where such a strong beautiful person that I will forever be grateful that I meet. Anywhere either one of us went you could usually count on the other being right their beside them. You truly where one of a kind. I love you and I promise I will continue to be there for you family.

Kent, I knew you briefly. We both worked at daybreak and you were the sweetest person. You always had a smile on your face and were ready to tackle anything. I just saw you a few weeks ago and when I heard you had passed I just couldn’t believe it. Rest easy Kent. You will never be forgotten.

Kent,
You were truly ONE of a kind. You were so ambitious and strong willed. I am so proud of you for everything you have accomplished at such a young age. I am so happy I was there when you took your first breath. You were such a sweet and loving baby, spoiled rotten by your parents of course. I have enjoyed seeing you grow into a handsome and respectful young man. I am so sorry you were taken to soon, but its clear that you definitely left your mark on this world. I am honored to be called your aunt BOO.

To the Rangel family-First of all I feel so privileged to have known Kent-what an inspiration he has been in my life!! When he called about getting insurance and he was only 18 yrs old with a new car and got it all on his own I was like “what no way.” He had to be the most responsible teenager I have EVER known! He was first my customer and then became my friend as all of you have. I will Never forget him! I am praying for you all-Kent Loved His Family and I know more than anything he wants you all to live on remembering his jokes and wonderful sense of humor. Rest in Peace and Fly high sweet Kent.

Kent.. My baby brother, i love you sooooo much and miss you deeply already. I don't know how my life is going to go on without you here, you were my best friend. I can't believe you're going and I won't be able to make any more memories. You always had the answers. you always know how to figure everything out no matter what the situation was, you figured it out. I remember the day you were born I was so very happy since then every moment I have, our whole childhood will be cherished and I will not forget any moment ever. I love you so much Kent!!!!!!! it's hard for me to sleep or eat, but every morning that I wake up when I finally do go to sleep I wish I will wake up from this nightmare and you will still be here but after 5 minutes I realize you're truly gone and I can't be around the most amazing person. You should know you are very much loved and this is not a goodbye, just I will see you later along with gran gran and Merk. But I do want to ask if you ever see me hurt or crying because you're gone or anything wrong, please please let me know that you were near me and give me the strength that you had. I love you and I will see you again Indio

Dear Kent,
I’m sitting here with deep sorrow and disbelief. My heart is so broken without you here with me. We’ve made and shared so many memories together. I don’t know how to go on from here without you by my side. You have thought me so much & I’m so proud of you Kent, you are a wonderful son and truly one of a kind. I hope I was a great mom to you and I made you proud to call me your mom. Your heart was so BIG that you would do for others before yourself when it should of been the other way around. I will take care of Zues and Brownie so rest easy knowing that. I’m gonna miss seeing your smiling face lite up and your beautiful smile that was so contagious. Please give gran gran and Merk lots of kisses and hugs from me and let them know how much we love and miss them until we see them again. Indio I love you so much. I’m gonna have to figure things out on my own now, but you taught me well.... Please come and visit me often and please let me know that your near me... I love you so much Kent!!
Love,
Mom
