Kent Stewart Charlton, 64, passed away peacefully at his home in Salina on February 13, after a long battle with cancer.
Kent was born in Salina, KS, on June 23, 1960, to Jack and Dorothy Charlton. A lifelong resident, he took pride in being a hardworking and trustworthy individual. He was employed by Consolidated Printing for over 30 years until retiring in 2024 due to health reasons. He was known to take after his father as an avid collector of sports memorabilia and antiques.
Kent’s life was filled with love and laughter, and he made a lasting impression on everyone he met. He will be deeply missed by family and friends who knew him as a kind, caring, and fun-loving person. He is remembered as a devoted son, father, brother, and friend.
Kent was preceded in death by his parents and his infant daughter, Melissa.
He is survived by his beloved sister, Robin Vandegrift of Boise, ID; his cherished children, Michele Gardner (Josh), Justin Charlton, and Shane Charlton, all of Salina; and his four adored grandchildren: Kaylee, Savannah, Cameron, and Liliana, all of Salina. He also leaves behind his beloved canine companion, Sasha.
The family will not be holding a public service.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Salina Food Bank to help those in need.
Rest in peace, Kent. Your memory will live on in our hearts.
