Kent David Corduan died after a long journey with early onset dementia.
Kent was son of Malcom (Mac) and Lynn Corduan of Groton, Connecticut. Born March 8, 1950. Loving brother to Cap and Nancy Corduan.
Kent loved the outdoors, traveling, cooking and the life he created, in Waterville with life partner Carolyn Mecklosky.
Kent loved his daughters Haita Corduan, Maia Corduan and her husband Jess Canty and son Lan Currier, daughter in law Jillian Ross and grandbaby Zoe.
Kent spent his life traveling the world since he was a young man. At sixteen, he moved to San Miguel Allende, Mexico. He enjoyed meeting people from all walks of life. He loved sharing his stories from his travels on land and sea.
He was a wonderful cook and carpenter. He designed and built a variety of homes in New England, New Mexico, Belize and beyond.
Kent's joy of animals, nature and the outdoors was a gift. Being in the woods with him, sharing that deep silence of observation was a true joy.
He will be sorely missed and remembered with much love.
