In this column for the past eight years, Kent Wellbrock reached out to us with over 100 informative articles about keeping ourselves safe and being prepared for emergencies and natural disasters.
Nobody addressed our community with more enthusiasm,
energy, positive spirit, and loving concern than Kent in his monthly
column!
With Kent’s passing, we remember the spirited way he extended friendship to all, and how he truly lived the words he wrote in one of his recent articles: “Be kind. Nobody can plan for some of the unforeseen problems life sends us, but we can learn to BE KIND to each other when handling whatever might arise any time in life.”
In 2013, Kent took leadership as Chair of the newly formed Emergency Preparedness Committee and began writing here every month in the Seashore News. He also ran safety and emergency awareness events,
arranged for a portable defibrillator to be placed in the clubhouse in
addition to the one in a patrol vehicle, and organized CPR/AED/First Aid training classes for our staff and residents.
To his wife Gaye and their children and grandchildren, we send our deepest
sympathies. To Kent—our friend and news reporter for so many years—you
remain in our hearts remembering how you always looked out for the best
interests of our community, filled your family with love, and were a light to all who knew you.
