Joseph Kent Lyon
1947 - 2014
Kent passed away suddenly on September 10, 2014. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He will be deeply missed. He leaves those who survive him the comfort of knowing that he has died secure in God's love and trusting in the salvation purchased for him through Christ's suffering, death and resurrection and has now joined his Lord in eternal glory.
Kent was born March 12, 1947 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Jack and Sue Lyon. He began his career in the printing industry under the tutelage of his father at Magazine Printing. He then worked for Heidelberg and 3M, as well as other companies. In the last few years many people knew and depended on him for his diverse and varied handyman skills.
He enjoyed serving the Lord by teaching Bible study classes and helping in many other areas at Christ Lutheran Church. He loved spending time with his family, helping neighbors and friends, golfing, photography, travel and walking his dog, Rosie.
He is survived by his wife Patsy, his daughter Michelle (Allen) Broughton, grandchildren, Victoria, Cullen and Emma, his mother Sue, brother Richard (Bonnie), sisters Pam Freeman, Debbie Thiriot and many nieces and nephews.
