Displaying 1 - 1 of 1 -- Add News
Kent Barlow's family is in the same ward as my parents. He served from 1997-1999 under presidents Lunt and Kuhni. He passed away from the flu... he was really sick, just with the flu and his dad had come to see him. He had gone to get him medicine, soup, gatorade - things like that, and when he came back Kent had passed away. It is believed that he was nauseated and had gotten out of bed to go to the bathroom... while on the way he started to vomit and somehow inhaled some into his lungs. He aspirated on it and had passed on when his father came back with the items. Below I have copied and pasted his obituary. It is so so so sad!! I know he has many dear friends from the mission and that you would all want to know.
