Bob was the guy that would walk in the room and the whole room would light up, His Charisma was unmatched! If you were down or in a bad mood he could cheer you up in a second with his off-color humor or just him breaking out into song to 80?s music or Reggae Bob was the type of guy you just wanted to be around, You could have conversations about whatever for hours?. And literally about anything, whether it was aliens or girls or alien girls He was always ready for a party, and a party to Bob could have been anything. Walking around the mall and hollering at the ?shorty?s? as he would say?. or him inviting you over to his house for a ?coldi? which was a Lacroix Life was a party for Bob, He didn?t let it pass him by. Bob was the ?yes man? he never wanted to let you down. He encouraged you in your dreams and would spur you on to go after whatever you were pursuing? He wanted to see his friends and family succeed in whatever they were doing, he cared about you like that and did everything to help you. Bob couldn?t meet a stranger, he was everyone?s best friend even after someone just met him. Bob Kent had an uncanny ability to connect with people, that?s why people loved him so much ?..you instantly became his friend. I?ll miss his witty humor or his crazy text messages, or him calling me before a blind date that he got set up on that he reluctantly agreed to. Bob was the cleanest person you could ever meet, his OCD was off the charts crazy. If you ever wanted to repulse him just spill something in his car or throw up in his airplane, and would have his mind reeling and his blood pressure up. The guy would scrub his garage floors. Some of my best memories with Bob is the times we traveled together and he would fly us in his plane to various places, He loved to fly and he was good at it. He was always triple checking everything and making sure everything was safe and we were safe, The plane ride conversations were the best. They were always about flying, women, politics or our faith. Bob liked to egg people on and get them stirred up, He was a fuel to their flame? and it usually was a show to watch. Bob was one of smartest guys I knew, He never stopped learning and improving himself. He knew so much and he could master anything he wanted to, from becoming a private pilot, to building his Real Estate business ?Kent Realty? from the ground up. The memories of Bob Kent will go on to live in our hearts and minds forever Then there was another side to Bob, he had a serious side, Times where we would talk about the struggles of life, hardships, topics like forgiveness and recovery and redemption, apologetics with defending the Christian faith, the end times and the longing he had for his Heavenly home. Bob knew he was broken and lost apart from a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. He had a strong faith in Jesus and loved Him and His word. Today we all grieve the loss of Bob Kent but he wouldn?t want us to be sad today, let?s celebrate his life while rejoicing with Him as he rejoices from heaven, Today Bob Kent is more alive than ever. The Apostle Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 4:13: Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. The Jesus said in John 11:25: Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; Love you brother, I?ll miss you. I?ll meet you at Heaven?s gates.
