Vaughn Richard Kent

Vaughn Richard Kent JR, aka Bird, 58, of Union City, Pennsylvania passed quietly and unexpectedly at his home on Sunday, January 13, 2019. Born November 27, 1960 to Vaughn and Nancy Kent, Bird, was one of the most carefree and content persons to roam the earth. Bird had two children to which he leaves his legacy: Jacob Kent and Kara Perrien. Also left to cherish his memory are three grandchildren, Liana, Logan, and Lyssa, brother James, sisters Darlene and Becky, as well as plenty of cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and ex-wife Kimberly. He was preceded in death by his parents Nancy and Vaughn Sr. Bird was a crane operator at Lincoln Recycling. He was however more known for his superior carpentry skills. Starting at the age of 15 he swung the hammer for his father, before having a few construction companies of his own until ultimately ‘retiring’ from the trade after multiple years working for Chuck Buckeye. Still to this day Bird could out shingle a crew of three with his modified no safety Bostich roofing nailer. He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting, fishing, canoeing, camping and bonfires. One of the biggest events he looked forward too every year was deer season, although it was a rarity for a kill to be had on the first day, second, third or sometimes the fourth. Bird passionate about many things, and bee hives have been one of the few long standing endeavors he involved himself in. Right up until his passing he talked about building bee hives with excitement and how they were going to make him millions. You might actually see one or two oh his hives tucked away in a back yard. On rare occasions you might also have been lucky enough to receive one of his sticky homemade jars of honey even if you had not used up the quart from last year. Birds final wishes did not include a traditional service but a bonfire for all of his family and friends to enjoy which will occur sometime in June.
