Kent Marcus Osterloh

1934 ~ 2018

Kent Marcus Osterloh passed away peacefully on October 13, 2018. He was born in Bakersfield, California on December 15, 1934 to Marcus Arnold Osterloh and Sarah Violet Birk.

Kent married Judy Helen Roberts on January 30, 1970. They were married for 43 years until her death in 2013. The two were quite an adventurous pair and enjoyed the outdoors, playing golf, and hosting many legendary parties for family and friends.

Kent graduated from East High School and attended college at the University of Utah. He enlisted in the Army in 1955 during the Korean War. When Kent returned home from the service he went to work with his father in the food brokerage business. Kent took over the business in 1970 and ran a very successful partnership with many local and overseas distributors until his retirement in the late 90s. Kent's business travels had taken him all over the United States and across many oceans from Iceland to Bermuda.

Kent loved spending time at his family cabin and had many memorable stories of his time with family and friends riding horses, hunting, and fishing. He was quite an angler in his day and always seemed to come back with the biggest catch. Kent was a very kind and generous person. He cherished his children and family and had a special bond with his sister Marilyn. Kent will be deeply missed by all.

He is preceded in death by his parents, wife Judy, and sister Marilyn O. Sylvester. He is survived by his daughter Stacie Williams (Ryan), granddaughters Gracie and Addie, son Marc Osterloh (Elizabeth), grandchildren Takoda, Caleb, Kenyon, Bridjer, and Aspen, son James Burgess, granddaughter Stephanie, and his dearest niece Karen Sylvester.

It was Kent's request that no funeral service be held. There will be a graveside prayer for the family at American Fork City Cemetery on Friday, October 19 at 11:30am.
