March 25, 1941 — February 9, 2020
Dennis E. Kent, age 78, passed away February 9, 2020. He was born March 25, 1941.
Dennis is preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Halina (nèe Wachowski) Kent.
He is survived by his wife, Debra (Smith) Kent; his brothers, Douglas Kent, David (Kimberly) Kent; his sister, Dianne (Richard) Froese; his three children, Elizabeth "Lisa" Gobbi, Anne-Marie (John) Klarin, Mark (Jane) Kent; five grandchildren; two great grandchildren; as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members.
