Kevin James Bent of Lafayette, N.J., passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by family on Wednesday, April 28, 2021, after a long battle with cancer. He was 65.
Before retiring, Kevin was a self-employed CPA in Hackettstown, N.J., with his late brother Patrick Bent. He had a deep love for his family and enjoyed woodworking, a good laugh, and all outdoor activities.
He will be missed profoundly by his loving wife of 42 years, Karen, and their three children; daughter, Emily Bent, and husband, Tom Scheuren; and sons, Matthew Bent and wife, Kirsten Bent, and Ryan Bent and wife, Chelsea Camarata. His grandchildren, Declan, Veronica, and Elliot, will always be grateful for the time that they spent with their Papa/Opa. Kevin is also survived by his brother Thomas Bent and wife, Alice; father-in-law Arthur Eichas; and many in-laws, nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice or a charity of your choice would be welcomed.
