Kent Archie Strayer

June 23, 1949 - June 29, 2022

KIMBERLING CITY, Mo. — Kent Archie Strayer was born June 23, 1949, in McCook, Neb. He passed away alone at home June 29, 2022, in Kimberling City. He was 73 years old.

Kent spent his entire young life in McCook, growing up with a plethora of siblings. As a young adult, life took him to Omaha, Neb., for many years. Then to Branson, Mo., to assist his aging mother. Kent and his sister, Kerry, had a light-hearted deal between them: “If I fall, mom can call 911 and if mom falls, I get to call 911.”

Leaving behind are sisters, Karen, Karole, Kerry and Karla.

Preceding Kent in death were his parents, Archie and Venus Strayer; sister, Kay and brother, Kim.

Cremation services were provided by Greenlawn Crematorium in Branson.

My prayer for Kent is that he, Mom and Dad are at God’s great fishing hole, watching walleye and crappie jump on their lines.
