Kent Fenton Perkins

On Sunday, August 15, 2021, Kent Fenton Perkins passed away at his home in Overton, NV at fifty-two years old. Kent was born on July 29, 1969 in St. George, UT to Jenifer and Murray Perkins of Overton, NV.

With the exception of a few short stints in Las Vegas, Kent spent most of his life living here in Overton on the family homestead, affectionately known as the Perkins Patch. Kent had one son, Zachary Kent Perkins, and although he was only able to spend a short time together with his son, Zachary always held the biggest portion of Kent’s heart.

Kent was a carpenter, a Heavy Equipment Operator, and even spent numerous years working at the Overton Beach Marina. Kent was always the man to have around as he was a jack-of-all-trades. There was not anything he couldn’t do. Kent was an avid outdoorsman, he loved camping, hunting, fishing, rock hounding, astronomy, anything 4-wheel drive, and water sports. He had a love for the desert and the mountains, it didn’t matter where he was as long as it was outside. Kent loved to read books, he was especially interested in military aircraft and aircraft in general. You could point to a plane in the sky and he would be able to tell you what it was. His love for aircraft and anything that would fly also meant that kites and drones were a fond hobby.

Kent had many friends, and if you were lucky, you would be chosen family. However, Kent had a way with making everyone feel like chosen family. He was witty and funny, and he could be quite the prankster. You would always walk away from Kent a happier person.

Kent is survived by his dad, Murray Lewis Perkins, his two sisters; Kristen Kaye Perkins, and Kandyce Dove (Jared); his son, Zachary Kent Perkins; six nieces and nephews, Hunter, Kaleb, Gage, Amanda, Robert, and Anelle; and his great nephew and niece, Aiden and Gemma. He is preceded in death by his mother, Jenifer Kay Perkins.

Kent would want us all to never forget ya buddy ya buddy ya, Bah Hiah and to hibbida hobbida, hibbida hobbida bob and weave.
