Kent and Diana have three children, Scott Rogers, Shawn Rogers, and Andrea Rogers-Mathias; five grandchildren; Mariah (Ben) Sayalith, Matthew Stockard, Luke Rogers, Josh Rogers and Nick Rogers, and two great-grandchildren, Mason and Jai Sayalith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After serving in the US Army, they headed back home and moved to Findlay shortly after. Kent started school at the University of Findlay and later took a job as a sales representative for Proctor & Gamble for the next 20 years. For his next adventure he started a business with his middle son, Shawn, called FDI and later Pukka. Kent was with the company for 16 years and retired in 2009. He and Diana stayed active in the community and absolutely loved being \u201cFindlay people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kent was beloved by his family and friends and will be deeply missed. He touched everyone he came into contact with. He had the gift of connection, and it served him well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be no services at this time. He and Diana chose to have a private ceremony for them both at a later date.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
