Kent and I did not work directly together, but, as a TORN scholar and he as the TORN Aragorn, we made an excellent team. As a scholar at TORN conferences speaking about Aragorn, I found it good for people to go up and talk to Aragorn directly at the conferences. Kent was a perfect natural Aragorn; while I’m sure he’s up in heaven with Tolkien right now, he will certainly be missed in the Tolkien community here. I miss my wonderful teammate!

This is so heartbreaking Whenever a community loses one of it’s own it’s completely heartbreaking. I never quite know what to say but I hope He and His will find peace <3

Very sorry to hear this. Kent participated in too many Sideshow Collectibles projects for me to count at this point over a span of several years. Its nice however to see how many people are the better for having known him and appreciated his talent. Travel well kent!

I couldn’t believe when I heard about this. Its very sad. Kent was an inspiration to me as a young cosplayer and was always very sweet to me. Below is a photo that I still treasure from our first meeting.

If she’s Queen Elisabeth, then maybe he’s playing Sir Walter Raleigh?

I recognize Luisa Puig as QEI in that photo from the RenFaire, but who was Kent playing? I’m trying to figure out if I remember him from my years at Faire or not. That costume is very, very familiar, but I’m pretty sure another guy wore it when I was there.
