He married the love of his life, Marianne Wiser Parker, on December 16, 1978, in the Ogden Temple. They were married for 32 years before Marianne lost her battle with cancer in 2011. Kent spoke often and fondly of his wife and missed her dearly.
Kent graduated from Weber College (now Weber State University) in 1971 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a minor in Business. He worked at the Ogden Defense Depot and at Hill Air Force Base as a computer programmer, a department manager, and a contractor until his retirement from federal service in 2008.
