Kenton Wayne Bartlett

Kenton "Kent" Wayne Bartlett, age 40, a resident of the Porterville and Springville area, passed away on September 20, 2024, in Visalia, California.

Kent was born on August 15, 1984, to Richard and Sandra Bartlett in Lindsay, California. He grew up in Porterville, attending Los Robles Elementary, Bartlett Middle School, and Monache High School, graduating in 2002. Throughout his youth, Kent was very involved in sports, playing soccer, baseball, water polo, and diving. After high school, Kent spent several years in the San Diego area attending junior college and working various construction jobs. He later returned to Porterville, where he worked for the City of Porterville in both the Water Department and Parks Services.

Kent was an avid outdoorsman, spending much of his free time hunting, fishing, and camping in the nearby foothills and mountains. He also loved exploring the mountains with friends in his Polaris ATV, known as the "General". Kent was a friend to many and a stranger to no one. He was well known for dropping by unannounced for a quick visit, always bringing good jokes and lots of laughs.

Kent was preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Sandra Bartlett. He is survived by his brother, Blake, and wife Stacy Bartlett; nieces Brynn and Peyton Bartlett; Uncle Greg and wife Christi Bartlett; Aunt Stacey and husband Eddie Farquharson; Uncle Rick and wife Shona Thiesse; and many cousins.

A Graveside Service will be held at Hillcrest Memorial Park, in Porterville on Monday, October 7th, 2024 at 11:00AM, with a reception to follow.

If desired, donations in his memory can be made to his grandmother's memorial scholarship at Porterville College. Donations can be sent via mail to the Porterville College Foundation, 100 East College Avenue, Porterville, CA 93257, with the memo: Marian Bartlett Scholarship.
