Obituary of Billy Eugene Kent Jr.
Billy Eugene Kent, Jr., 59, passed away on August 27, 2020 at his home following a period of declining health. Born on January 29, 1961 in Raleigh; he was the only child of the late Billy Eugene Kent, Sr. and Marguerite James Kent.
He graduated from William G Enloe High. He was a hard working mechanic/parts man for many companies, including Ford, CarMax and Bobby Murray Chevrolet. Before his retirement, he worked alongside a great friend as a mobile, large engine mechanic. He was a selfless, caring father and Papa and certainly a devoted son. Billy had many hobbies, especially if it involved using his hands. He was always working on a project and his ideas were endless. He dreamed of one day, moving to Alaska and going off the grid, living off the land and enjoying the simpler way of life.
He is survived by his daughter: Heather Heath and husband Adam Heath, stationed at Ft. Polk Army Base in Louisiana; by his grandchildren: Korey and Jameson; and other extended family, including John, Phillip, Ronnie and Jesse James, Julie Johnson and Joyce Kent.
