I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to say this and I don’t know how. Our former vocalist Kent Young passed away this morning at the age of 28 due to respiratory problems. He was a father, a great performer and most of all a friend. The last thing I ever thought I’d be doing is writing something like this.

It’s hard to describe how I feel. Sorrow, guilt, anger. I would give anything to be able to tell my friend how much I value his friendship at least one more time. I’m angry at myself that the last conversation we had was about him stepping down from the band. It wasn’t a heated argument or anything, but it wasn’t fun either.

So with tears in my eyes the only thing else I know to say is that my, as well as the rest of the band’s hearts are with his family and those closest to him.

Kent... You will always be our friend and brother. We’ll meet again someday.

I am sorry for the loss of your friend and an awesome frontman, the times i had met him, he was always very nice and willing to talk with the fans. He will be missed. My condolenses to his bandmates (current and past), his friends and family.

THIS IS PRETTY HEAVY. THE LAST THING ANYONE WANTS TO HEAR IS THAT A DEAR FRIEND HAS PASSED. WE WANT TO BE ANGRY OR PISSED. WE ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY. WE KNOW THAT NOT ONLY WILL KENT'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS BE IN OUR PRAYERS, BUT THAT HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE AND THAT HE IS SMILING AND LOOKING DOWN ON US RIGHT NOW. NOTHING CAN REALLY BE SAID TO SOOTHE OR COMFORT. BUT THE REALITY THAT HE SITS IN PARADISE NO LONGER FEELING THE PAIN OF WORLDLY LIFE IS COMFORT ENOUGH FOR US. REST IN PEACE BROTHER. YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

Hey Guys! My heart goes out to you for the loss or your band member and dear friend!
I know its a very hard time for you guys right now, but you have to keep moving forward.

I see where you had feelings of sorrow, guilt and anger. We all wish that we could just talk to them one last time well I still to this day talk to my mom, i know or believe that she can hear me, and I know she is watching over me right now. Pouring out my heart to her will never bring her back but it does get me through the hard times.
Just keep his memeory alive always! You guys are in my thoughts and prayers!!!!

guys kent was my cousin and i couldn't believe it when i heard the news. i havent seen him in years. i had steady contact a few years back with him, but his number changed and i lost all contact with him. man i really regret the fact i never got to see kent perform live or had the chance to book a show with him man. sucks that we both were into the ohio metal scene as much as we are and never crossed paths. what was a real surprise is when i found out that the band i drum for now Crime Scene knew you guys and knew him and i still never got the chance to run across him at a show. he will be missed for sure and i know he will always be remembered for doing what he did best man. and by the way you guys sound fucking killer. i'm gonna try to make it to the peabody's show. take care and r.i.p.
kent

God has a plan and sometimes it hard for us to understand that Big Picture.

Once our purpose is served here on Earth, we move on. Since death is an illusion, know that Kent is alive and well somewhere in another demension. May we learn the lesson of every day life and be a better person for another day. God Bless everyone who was connected to Kent in some way.
