Kent Allen Mowrer was born on August 26, 1968, at Perry, IA to Harold Allen and Carol Jean (Hume) Mowrer. He graduated from Perry High School and Iowa State University. He was united in marriage to Christine Louise Emery at Perry Bible Church on February 24, 1996. Kent grew up on the farm and his heart was always in agriculture. All his jobs were involved in agriculture, however he believed he was making the most impact working as the Senior Field Coordinator for the Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers.
He was a member of the St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Madrid. He enjoyed working with his small club lamb flock and helping his daughters show their lambs and goats. Kent was always faithful at attending his daughters’ concerts and dance recitals. He was proud to watch his daughters grow up and was happy they took an interest in agriculture.
In death he rejoins his father, Harold, and a niece Megan Mowrer.
