Mathew Joshua Zent left us unexpectedly on December 31, 2019. He will be sadly missed by his father, Kevin Lee Zent; brothers, Kevin Jon-Mikel Zent, Brian McCain (Cindy), Donald Glaser, and Daniel Minarcik; his stepfather, W. K. "Dutch" Jacobs, USN/Ret; his stepmother, Darcy; and his nieces and nephews, Cheyenne Ilyana McCain, and Hailey, Freddy, Lily, Katy and Michael Zent, and many other loved ones and friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Toni Ann Jacobs, and grandmother, Michelle Cook. Mathew was a tenderhearted man. He fiercely loved his family, friends and many animals. If you needed a home, Mat would take you in without a question. If you needed protection, he was your knight and if you needed a shoulder to cry on he was there for you. He was bold and strong. Mathew had a passion for video gaming and had many friends all around the country. In lieu of flowers, due to Mathew's unexpected death the family would appreciate donations for funeral arrangements.
