Kent Jeffrey Guy

Doris and family, I am so sorry to read of Kent’s passing, you are in my thoughts at this sad time. Kent sounds like a wonderful man.

We met Kent in Panama several years ago. A true gentleman and kind man. His daughter being the love of his life. Much too young. Rest in peace Kent .

Many moons ago, as a young, naive and bubbly event organizer for London's Canada Day festivities I had little clue for what I had gotten into nor what I was doing (but hid it much better than I can these days). Kent took me under his wing and taught me the basics including the difference between bongo drums and an electric guitar. He was kind as he tutored me... and a lifelong friendship was forged. Our paths crossed numerous times over the years. He was always there when I asked... and I made certain that I was always there should he. I reflect on the positive influence Kent had brought into my life and I am deeply saddened for his loss. My sincere condolences to Doris, McKenna and Scot.

This is so heartbreaking. It’s been years since I’ve left London and last saw Kent. He was always ‘the kid’ or ‘little Jeff’. But he made such an imprint on my life. Little did he know, he played an immense part of my journey. So many great memories at BX93 but what always stood out was the people. His dad Jeff and Kent himself played a huge part in shaping my time there and the radio station itself. Kent, you are missed beyond and I’m so honored to have known you. Love you the family and friends of Kent. He was special indeed.

I knew Kent in a few different settings: when I came back into politics he was at the radio station where I did my first panel. When I served on the LAWC board he was one of the chairs. And finally when he gave this single, art-loving mom and her entourage passes to visit the Van Gogh and Monet exhibits at Kellogg Lane. I know Kent got as much joy from giving the kids a chance to experience this as I did bringing them. From reading all the tributes the last few days, it's clear Kent was many things to many people and that is what a lot of us wish to make of our lives. We are thinking of all Kent's close family and friends and remembering Kent in the best way.

Although we only had the privilege of meeting Kent a few times, it was clear that he was a devoted and proud father. Whether he was at sporting events or taking pictures at special occasions, his love for McKenna shone through. Kent’s legacy lives on in McKenna and the love he shared with those around him. Our sincere condolences.

Thinking of all of Kent’s family and friends, the list is endless. I will forever remember his kindness to me when I lost my brother, giving me Rock the Park tickets because I needed to “have some happy” Kent had a way of making me smile when I thought I had no smiles left.

Today I walked into a restaurant establishment and saw on the washroom door KGuy. That was my sign. I felt it. You may know the chain I am talking about. Thank you, Kent for always showing up for me and countless others. For decades he never forgot my birthday, sending a box of old-fashioned candy where-ever I was in the world just to give me a bit of joy. This was one very special human with intense capacity to love others unconditionally. How fortunate those of us who crossed paths with Kent truly are. RIP, you amazing human being. We will never forget you.

Kent the Guy … the Real True Guy .. a gentleman whose kindness, care, empathy and solid friendship was a gift to many. Always with his lightning quick wit, excellent sense of humour and professionalism is a trademark he carried with him. We had a long chat a few weeks ago at Costco along with his partner in crime DJ Williams. He shared about the abrupt medical episode he encountered at an outdoor function he was producing and next thing he knew, was in an ambulance. Life changed then though not his perseverance, positive attitude and his gratefulness for a life well lived. May his memory be eternal. 🙏🏼
