Him and I had some good talks that helped me move on from the troubles I was having at the time. He will not be forgotten. I wish the best for Pixie and the rest of the family. I truely appreciate everything you guys did for me. Thank you for your understanding and patience Kent Hutslar. We will meet again. - B.M.

Kent was a fun neighbor to watch growing up and not surprisingly he grew up to be a well liked, talented and entertaining man with many friends and fans. His kindnesses and personal charisma were natural, to be sure, and he was always kind hearted and funny. Our whole family knew their whole family quite well in those days and you just have to say that he had a good life, though cut short. He was a friend of my brother's and in fact, was called and tried diligently to save my brother's life at the scene before he tragically, acidentially died at a mere 19 years of age. Kent will be remembered and revered as a good samartian by me and I hope he and Scotty are "catching up" in the big house in the sky! God rest his soul and may thier talents continue to inspire. - Lili Fleming Wed, 07 Apr 2010 12:27:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6803 Kent has been a really good friend since we first met in the seventh grade in New Iberia circa fall 1963, so that's almost half a century. A lot of good adventures, stories, and memories over all the years. Truly a rare and noble soul was Kent; i'll miss him more than words can express. - Rod Chassot Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:05:44 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6802 Kent - you were a fixture in the arts community, an avid storyteller, and a sincere human being. You taught me how to hand-tint photos back in college, long before I ended up in "the tribe". Thank you for being with us as long as you have, for being a true friend - and for inspiring so many to pursue a career in the arts. You will be missed. - Naomi Celestin Thu, 01 Apr 2010 09:34:11 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6777 Kent was a great guy and always had great stories to tell and time to talk. My condolences Gwyn. Acadiana has lost a treasure.... - Sean Reed Wed, 31 Mar 2010 12:44:51 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6776 Kent was always a Friend first and Artist second. He was Always kind. He was always Giving and He will be missed, Always. Thank you for making my life better. - Bob Holbrook Wed, 31 Mar 2010 12:07:59 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6758 Kent always lit up when we saw each other around Lafayette and he would love to remember one photo shoot we had arranged back in the mid 1980's, when he photographed a cypress door mounted on a cypress stump out in the Atchafalaya basin for one of my clients. To me he was a unique combination of technician, artist, and gentleman. I am greatly saddened that he has passed but I know that when I pick up my own cameras to capture life and places, Kent will be looking over my shoulder and through my lens with me. Until we meet again dear man. - Rob Davis Tue, 30 Mar 2010 16:54:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6753 I was floored when I heard the news Saturday -- what a loss for Gwynn & the kids & grandkids, and for the "tribe" that makes up the art community. I will never forget the good times and hard work we shared at the Artists' Alliance, and the kind way that Kent was always there for my students, photographing their portfolios for free and truly enjoying their youthful energy.He will be missed. - Kathy Reed Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:07:27 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6745 I HAD THE PRIVILIGE OF MEETING KENT THROUGH MY OLDER BROTHER MARC.HE AND KENT WORKED TOGETHER IN THE LATE 70'S EARLY 80'S.WHAT A PLEASURE TO HAVE KNOWN HIM AND ENJOYED HIS COMPANY.HE WAS TRULY A "GENTLE GIANT" AND HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL.MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU GWYN AND FAMILY. - BRENT EAST Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:41:24 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6742 Kent was a kind and sweet soul and i always enjoyed his presence in our art community. One time i brought my photography students to his studio and it was all a whirlwind of his happiness connecting to all sorts of photographic processes. His enthusiasm was really beautiful and the students remembered his passion for his art. See you in the next world Ken! - Lynda Frese Tue, 30 Mar 2010 07:32:41 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6741 Kent Hutslar is an inspiration to all who had come to know him. I had the pleasure of working with Kent (and Gwyn) during the creation of the Artists' Alliance. Kent added so much color to Lafayette and although he was much taller than most, he never put himself above you. We will surely miss him! - Ricardo Johnson Tue, 30 Mar 2010 05:59:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6739 It's no surprise to Kent's friends to know that he was an Eagle Scout. That's the way he lived his life. But it did surprise a large number of Eagle Scouts every year when he took their official photos at the Council recognition banquet. It was a subtle but important impression that they took with them. Kent showed them that they could live and accomplish things in ways they never imagined. - Gary McGoffin Mon, 29 Mar 2010 20:03:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6737 Saturday morning when I received the news, I was clearing a section of the warehouse that Kent and I had touched and moved together at least 20 years ago. Probably letting me know it was ok to let it go. Gwyn our thoughts and prayers are with you and the Lafayette "Brady Bunch". May my wake of life be as far and wide as yours my friend. - Ken Simeral Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:43:07 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6735 My family and would like to offer our condolences to my sister Gwyn and her family and we will pray for God's guidance with them through this difficult time in their life. - George Hebert Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:26:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6733 Gwyn, please accept my condolences. It was a pleasure to know Kent. He was a kind and gentle person - he always greated me with a smile and warm hand shake. I treasure the beauty of his memory as much as the legacy of the art he leaves behind. - Kaliste Saloom III Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:10:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6732 Big loss for the community. Kent was a great person, very into the community and helping people out. Gonna be strange not to see him towering over the crowds at Festival or DTA! - Holeinthedonut8 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:34:09 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6731 RIP Kent. We are better for having known you. - IMJacquemo Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:07:40 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6730 My friend Kent Hutslar was a world-class photographer who was as gentle a soul as ever lived. Add your prayers to mine for his wife, Gwyn. This poem reminds me of Kent. Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. - Joe Paris Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:07:13 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5957-photographer-hutslar-dies-at-59#comment-6728 Not goodbye, just til we meet again old friend. - Herb Roe Mon, 29 Mar 2010 14:39:14 +0100
