Kent, a big man with a bigger personality and contagious laugh, passed away on July 11, 2019. He is survived by his loving wife Kathy (O’Malley-Lessor), a stepdaughter Carol Bailey (wife of Bob and daughter of Judy), grandsons Tanner and Logan, his sister Pat Cannon, many dear nieces and nephews and their children, as well as a host of friends.

A graduate of Fenwick High School and Loyola University, Kent spent much of his career in the printing industry, including 13 years at R.R. Donnelley. For 20+ years after that he headed his own recruitment and management consulting business. In retirement he enjoyed golf, travel, and volunteering as a career coach. This man of faith and a wonderfully goofy sense of humor will be sorely missed.
