Our hearts are broken over the loss of our son-in law Kent. An exceptional husband, father and grandfather.To those of us outside of his immediate  family and loved ones was Kent's ability to welcome into his world each of us with the same care and love. God has called Kent to be his ambassador of care to all that follow . Ken -Mona

We are shocked at Kent's passing and will never forget him. Again our deepest sympathy.   Jerry & Scott Halmrast

I met Kent when he was just 12 years old and he never changed I talked to him at Steve's funeral and it was good to see him.  Kent was truly a good person he was in my brothers wedding and when ever I had a chance to see him he always had a great smile and a wonderful handshake even thou we all get older he was the same person I met as a child and that is what was so nice to know what a wonderful person.  My heart a prayers are with his family wish I could make it to the funeral.  Sincerely, Jim Johnson West Fargo, ND.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss, Mrs. Pranke. We are thinking of you in Sheyenne. Thoughts and prayers headed your way from your whole class!

I met and became friends with Laurie at Minot State University.  My sympathies to all of Kent's family. Laurie Brown
