I am so sad for the loss of Dr Kent. I am thankful to have known him and I know right now he is with our Lord Jesus. I always loved working with Kent in the operating room and talking across the anesthesia drapes about music, the world and our faith. We tried to bring some musical joy to our surgery center with our doctor-nurse band The Incision Decision and Kent's singing was always awesome! I miss Kent and I am in prayer for Micky and Ben and the family

So sorry to hear about Kent. My best bud from High School and Church back then. My memories are rich. Snow skiing, Breath of Life, Camp, youth trips, guitars, first cars, girls, and plenty of shenanigans. Unfortunately life demands took us on different paths but I look forward to meeting up again in presence of Jesus one day. My condolences to the whole Williams clan (I always have a spot in my heart for all of you ) Hey Grant. To his Wife and children, may Gods peace come to you.

I worked with Kent at Tresanti Surgery Center. With each patient, Kent was gentle and reassuring and so kind. They all appreciated his calm demeanor and they knew they were in good hands as they were going to sleep. With the nurses and staff, Kent treated us all with admiration and respect. He loved to laugh as well as talk about his family. We will miss you so much Kent!!

I knew Kent and his family a few years back and I just recently heard the tragic news of his passing. What I remember most about Kent is not any one encounter or experience, it is the kind of person he was and his character. Anyone who met him immediately felt like family because of his kind and welcoming nature. I will forever remember him for his sense of humor, his love for tinkering in this and that (he had a talent for just figuring things out), his passion for music, and his devotion to his family. His hard working attitude and strong work ethic could been seen in every aspect of his life because he always gave everything 100%. In knowing his family and reading these comments, I see so much of him in everyone who was apart of his life. It just goes to show the impact he made in lives of people who knew him and how his memory will be carried with us forever. I want to give my deepest condolences to Ben, Micky, Leanna, Jenna, and to anyone else who knew and loved him. Rest In Peace ❤️

Kent is chilling in heaven with god telling him to bring the northern lite up for a road trip to the mountains to ride hard and play some guitar.
RIP Buddy we will surely meet again.

I’m a Sister-in-law of Kent’s. His wife Micky was my husband Vic’s sister. Kent was always ready with a smile and always wanted to know if you were ok. He had a great sense of humor and a tender heart. I have memories of Kent attending many birthdays and fun times at Christmas. Kent and my other brother-in-law Mike were the only Chiropractors that could give the best adjustment. But my sweetest memory was in June of 2019 as he visited my husband who was in Hospice at our home, he and Micky singing old church hymns to him and praying with him. That was so sweet and loving. He was unselfish and gave very wise council. He was a great husband, father, son and brother. He loved all his family and we all miss him terribly. I know where he is and he joins many family members there. I know he, his Dad, my husband Vic and all the rest of our departed family are all strolling through Heaven together. Kent we love you and you will be missed always, till we meet again. ❤️
Love, Kathy Wharton

Meet Dr. William when I was working at the Surgery Center. Also had the pleasure of meeting his son, Ben. I have nothing but fond memories with Dr. William. Always a pleasure working with him. Always spoke highly about his family. He would always give me good advice and was one of the few doctors that had me start listening to classic rock. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Kent and I were good friends in college. He was a lot of fun and we hung out daily with a great group of kids. We even went on a mission trip to Brazil together. It breaks my heart that he has passed. May God give his family extra peace and comfort. Till we meet again, Kent. 💙

Kent was an amazing person. I'm so lucky I got to know him for as long as I did. He was so adventurous and would take Leanna and I to do just about anything we wanted to, (even though he was so busy, he always made time for us). I'm going to miss him so much, he was a second father to me. I find throughout the day I randomly think about all of the fun times me and The Williams had together, and I'm so thankful for them and always will be. Sending you guys all of the love and hugs from Oklahoma.

I met Kent when I was in my teens, young and confused on the real world, he was a role model for me. Kent had wit and charm that made my perceived notion of “confidence” go right out the window. He always carried himself subtly and humbled. In my youth, we could not have been more opposite, I think that is why I looked up to him so much. Kent taught me how to drive, helped me buy my first car, corrected my ideas of “false confidence”, what a real guitar player looked like, and what happy family and home looked like. Of course, that is not to say that in each lesson he gave I learned smaller more powerful lessons about myself in the process. The news of him passing devastates me, I found out a week ago through mutual friends, and I think this is a wonderful way for those of us who were no longer close to write something nice. Leanna, Mickey, Ben, and Jenna my sincerest condolences. He was a wonderful, loving, strong man of god and I hope he lives on in the mind and hearts of those closet to him.
Rest in Peace

Sharon, My heart goes out to you and your family at this difficult time. I was a classmate and good friend of Kent's at CHS. My girlfriends and I had lunch with him and his gang almost every day. What fun he was and such a gentleman. I would like you to know that I have several pictures of Kent back in the day with his friends and would love to pass them on to you.
Prayers to you....

Kent always had a smile on his face and was so kind to me and my family over the years.
I have fond memories of the RZR trip we all went on, he had a constant grin while we were on rides.

His faith in Jesus Christ ensures he is now in Gods presence and has shed all of the worries and pain that goes with this life.

Prayers for the entire family during this difficult time. Rob and Jen.

My brother was very special! He always greeted me with a big hug and a kiss and of course a smile. he had a wonderful smile. I think his family (immediate as well as extended) was his most favorite thing in the world and he showed it by visiting as often as he could no matter how far he had to travel. I was looking back through pictures and in every family picture we took, he was always holding one of the babies from nieces and nephews all the way until great nieces and nephews. Kent held a special place in my heart that I will always treasure. Love you big bro!! You and dad hang out, we will all meet you there someday!
