The Salt Lake Tribune


Dennis "Kent" Hollingsworth, born in Preston, Idaho, August 5, 1941 left our earth to join his parents, Marjorie Wilcox and Marvin LaVern Hollingsworth, June 5, 2009, after a valiant battle with cancer. We admire his strength and determination to fight to the end.Kent, also called "TOAD", was a skilled plumber. He was respectful and thoughtful. He was always there to help many of us with our plumbing jobs whether big or small. Kent always took pride in his appearance. He was always well dressed with his silver hair and well kept beard. There were many hunting trips when he brought glow sticks for the kids and some to light his own path. He is survived by his sister Susan, brothers Bill, Gyle, and Marv, first wife Shanna Lee Stuhr (divorced) and three daughters, Aimee, Sheila and Mitzi. Grandchildren: Zach, Brodie, Ariel, Clayton, Jessie, Dillon, Jeffrey, Dennis, Brandon and Brady. Also survived by his second wife Lynda Fortner (divorced). We will miss our dear friend and the love and laughter we shared on camping trips, golf trips and the dutch-oven meals in his yard. Kent had many wonderful friends who will always cherish their memories of him. Please join us in celebrating all of those times of his life on Saturday, June 13, at the Cotton Bottom Inn, 10:00 a.m.
