“Born in 1956, he spent his career in the food industry developing new items for Kroger and eventually achieving his dream of opening a brewpub with his son, John,” the brewery said in a Facebook post. “If you have visited the brewery, you were probably approached at some point by Kent to see how you were enjoying your experience and were in for a long conversation about how proud he was of our team and new events/food we had coming up. Kent loved to interact with all of you and it was his dream to create this place for all to enjoy.”
A memorial service will take place on Sunday, Oct. 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Newcomer Funeral Home. A celebration of life at the brewery will begin at 5 p.m. The brewery says all are welcome and encouraged to share their favorite story of Loose.
