Scheidt

Kent Wesley Scheidt, 51, of Oakland Township, Chicora, died unexpectedly Friday morning at his home.

He was born on April 30, 1962, in Colorado, a son of Delaine Munson Scheidt McCune and the late Raymond Scheidt.

Kent was a graduate of LaRoche College where he had earned a business administration degree. He was employed as a construction accountant for the Landau Construction Co. in Wexford.

He was a member of the St. Wendelin Roman Catholic Church, Carbon Center.

Kent was a loving husband to his wife, Amy (Gallagher), and a loving daddy to their three children, Breanna Rae, Jacob William and Jeremy Michael. Kent spent his days, nights, and weekends at his children’s various activities, spending time as a family was what mattered most to him.

Every day when he walked in the door he would say, “How’s the best family in the world?!” He will be greatly missed by “the prettiest girl in the world” Breanna, “his best friend” Jacob, “his big man” Jeremy and “Babe” Amy.

Also surviving are his mother, Delaine McCune; his siblings, Michael Scheidt of Silver Bay, Minn., Diane Hyde (Robert Hyde) of Memphis Tenn., and Valerie McConnell (Larry McConnell) of Sikeston, Mo.; and his loving in-laws, Bill and Ann Gallagher.
