We are very sorry for your loss. Kent was a hard working, common sense farmer I admired. He loved and was proud of his family, and we know he will be missed. He left us much to soon.

I am so sorry to hear about Kent. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Lynn, and your family. I have many good memories of Kent in high school. Even more important, my sister, Anita Oetzel, considered you and Kent to be her good friends. I will be forever grateful to you for that.

CLOSE THE GATE
For this one farmer the worries are over, lie down and rest your head,
Your time has been and struggles enough, put the tractor in the shed.
Years were not easy, many downright hard, but your faith in God transcended,
Put away your tools and sleep in peace. The fences have all been mended.
You raised a fine family, worked the land well and always followed the Son,
Hang up your shovel inside of the barn; your work here on earth is done.
A faith few possess led your journey through life, often a jagged and stony way,
The sun is setting, the cattle are all bedded, and here now is the end of your day.
Your love of God’s soil has passed on to your kin; the stories flow like fine wine,
Wash off your work boots in the puddle left by blessed rain one final time.
You always believed that the good Lord would provide and He always had somehow,
Take off your gloves and put them down, no more sweat and worry for you now.
Your labor is done, your home now is heaven; no more must you wait,
Your legacy lives on, your love of the land, and we will close the gate.
Nancy Kraayenhof.
Rest in Peace Kent.....
