Kent Krokum passed away Monday, April 8, 2024 at his home.

He was born on the family farm in Finley, North Dakota on December 31, 1951, the son of Phyllis (Rockney) and Luther Krokum.

Kent graduated from High School in Fort Worth, Texas. His many talents were painting, drawing, and designing. He could take someone's trash and make it into a special treasure.

Kent lived in Wichita, Kansas for several years, working as a waiter in a very elite club before moving back to Texas where he was manager of the IHOP in Arlington, Texas.

From there, Kent moved to Stephenville, Texas to help his sister and brother-in-law, Reba and Tommy George to help with office work for their trucking company. His last job before retirement was as a manager of a Dollar General Store in Comanche and due to health issues, he was unable to work again.

Although he never married, his brothers and sisters' families meant the world to him. He had a book with everyone's birthday and was the one who reminded the family of these special days.

Kent is and always will be a special son, brother, uncle, and friend.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Phyllis Krokum; father, Luther Krokum; brothers, Dean and Stuart Krokum; brother-in-law, Jack Sanders; great nephew, Brazos Jack Bullard; and his close friend, Troy.

Kent leaves behind his sisters, Faye Sanders of Sand Flat Community, Cleburne, Texas, Reba George and husband, Tommy, of Stephenville; and Ronda Mahan and husband, Joey, of Dublin, Texas; special friends, Randy Matthews of Wichita, Kansas, John Smith of Fort Worth, Texas and Sylvia, also of Wichita; many nieces, nephews, other family members and many friends.
