I'm so sorry to hear that Kent has left us. He was such fun to grow up with in Grand View Acres! I can't recall a time when he wasn't thinking, talking about or drawing horses...and finally got one! I used to sit behind him in several classes and marvelled at how beautiful were the pictures he drew...I think he said they were Arabian. My one time ride in the grand entry at the Rodeo was enough horses for me...saddle sores are not fun! He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. I heard how appreciative he was for the visits at the hospital and at home from classmates. I know Madeline took a bronze horse statue to him at home while he recovered from the amputation of the lower part of his leg. He must have suffered greatly in his last years, but I loved reading that he spent his last days telling stories and laughing with family and friends. I'm deeply saddened that I have missed seeing him for years and will miss the memorial services.

I have not seen Kent since the night of Becky's viewing 54 years ago. He was / is a great friend. Hope to see some of our class at one of the gatherings in his honor. Presumably they have horses in Heaven.

I attended Kent's viewing last night, January26, 2016,
and it was standing room only. There were about
10 classmates there at the time I was there. There
were so many photos of his life also. I am just glad
many of us got to see Kent at Mc Kay Dee when we
did, and we presented him a booklet with many many
classmates signatures. He will be missed by many, and
especially his family and the Horse world. He always had
a fun way about him, and also one tough dude.

Dear Family, I grew up in Grand View Acres with Kent and his beautiful sister Janet. We had all kinds of adventures from tobagganing on Horses Hill to my first dance at Washington Jr High with him. I was 5'6" and he was 5' and I remember rubbing the top of his crew-cut as I towered over him. There was quite a gang of us that hung together in school and play from Grandview Acres Kindergarten to Washington Jr High to Ogden High to Weber College and the memories won't be forgotten. My love goes to his family.
Sincerely, Dina Downs Smith
