DR. KENT DAVENPORT 76, passed away on August 15, 2023. Kent was born on February 8, 1947, to Gordon and Janina Davenport in Greenfield, Massachusetts. He loved his family and being outdoors (fishing, cycling, running, hiking, mountain climbing, windsurfing, target shooting and photography).

He later received a M.B.A. from University of Hawaii in 1998. Kent was an orthopedic surgeon for over 40 years. He was an active member of University Avenue Baptist Church. He served on the board of directors at Hawaii Baptist Academy from 2015. He is survived by his wife, Carolyn Davenport, daughters, Jordan and Sarah Davenport, sister Jane Ryder, and step-sisters Diana Padilla and Marion Radford.

Kent is a friend from the running community and was my orthopedist. He had me in stitches, laughing until the anesthesia kick in when he repaired my PCL. I´ll miss his appreciation for sarcasm.

I met Kent through my wife in 1981, when we were in Honolulu on our honeymoon to run the marathon. He was such a kind and thoughtful person who left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

It´s profoundly moving to read of his love and faithfulness to follow Christ. Kent´s love for others will live on though surely he will be missed.

Kent was a wonderful man. I have learned so much in our little time spent together. I think of him often and he is missed.

So sorry to hear of Kent´s passing. I knew him from my days of training for marathons back in the late 70s and he was also my orthopedic doctor. A very kind gentleman, full of life.

I remember when we ran the Honolulu Marathon...Xcelent athlete. I remember bike road racing times with him...I remember when he operated on my shoulder....A GOOD MAN. I hope he had a painless moving-on...
