December 22, 1968 – August 29, 2023
It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our only son Kent on August 29, 2023, with his mom and dad by his side at the Grace Hospital after a short but courageous battle with cancer.
Kent is survived by his parents Ken and Marlene; his aunt Val and several cousins.
Kent’s chosen professing was cooking; something he enjoyed very much. Kent enjoyed all sporting events, attending many Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Winnipeg Jets and Winnipeg Goldeyes games with his dad. His Friday night get togethers with his buddies meant a lot to him. He was a easy going, friendly, fun loving person, always willing to give a helping hand and always respectful, warm and welcoming to all people.
We would like to thank the gang on Kavanaugh for welcoming our son into their home and treating him like family. Kent truly appreciated your friendship.
As per Kent’s request no formal service will be held. A private family gathering will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, if friends and family so desire, donations may be made to the Winnipeg Harvest in Kent’s memory.
We have loved him from his first breath to his last breath and will love him forever.
The hardest thing we ever had to do was watch our son fight so hard to live. We will miss him.
Our lives without him will never be the same.

Marlene and Ken,
It is with great sadness that we learned of Kent’s passing. Although it’s been years since we last were in touch, we have nothing but fond memories of Kent from our time playing/coaching youth football. We are so sorry for your loss and hope that you are finding some sort of peace with Kent’s passing. His memory will burn bright with those he touched. Kent always had a kind soul and it sounds like nothing changed with the passage of time. We wish you all the best.
