Kenton Dean Anderson, 53, of Pearland, Tx, passed away on January 28^th, 2022 surrounded by family after living a full life.

Kent was born on July 19^th, 1968 to Dean and Sandy Anderson in West Virgina and then moved to Friendswood, Tx for his childhood. After graduating from Friendswood High school in 1986 with the title “Mr. Mustang”, he went on to study and play football at Stephen F Austin while being involved in the Pike Fraternity. After an injury he transitioned to track and field at San Angelo State earning a scholarship where he graduated with a business degree.

He was a businessman and entrepreneur early on as he started a lawn care business with a friend while in high school. After college graduation he quickly landed his first job at Bebco kicking off a successful career. After years at Bebco Kent continued to show his work ethic by building and running his own business, Dynamic Specialties, for 20+ years. Most recently he was a senior project manager for Audubon.

Kent really was bigger than life itself and a force of nature, determined to provide for his family while always trying to make sure they were smiling. To know Kent was to know his smile and laugh. As well as remember his stories told and feel the joy and energy he left in a room after spending time with him. He was passionate about sports and spent many years coaching his kid’s teams from T-ball to soccer, and many proud years as the Pearland Bucs football coach and little league football president of Pearland. Growing up he created many memories with his brothers and dad out at “The Cabin” which was continued with his own children and grandchildren to spend time together while fishing and hunting. His adventurous spirit was shown by many weekends spent with family in their RV traveling all over Texas. He was also involved in the Lighthouse organization donating his time and skills for the benefit of others. This was telling of Kent as he was a man who would never turn down helping a friend or family from small tasks to large ones.

Anyone who knew Kent knew he was always proud of his children. His four children carry on his legacy of being loyal, showing kindness, and working hard all while enjoying life well, and even being the loudest at a gathering. Recently Kent was proudest of his new title Pawpaw. He even had plans of coaching “Roro’s” soccer team and being a fun and involved grandpa, which he was in the last years.

Kent is preceded in death by his beloved brother Kreg Anderson and father Dean Anderson. He is survived by Amanda Anderson and his children Andrew Dean Anderson with wife Kimber Anderson, Macy Manning Jahns with husband Ty Jahns and their daughters Rowen Rose Jahns and Maren Manning Jahns, Daniel Gage McDonald with fiancé Carlee Haltermann, and William Cole Anderson.
