Obituary: John Kent Bryant

John Kent Bryant, at 93

John Kent Bryant, 93, of Cohasset, passed away peacefully in his home on November 30, leaving his children, Susan and Gardner, his creative caregiving team, and members of Wolfe and Greaves families.

Mr. Bryant was an enthusiastic fan of Hull Lifesaving Museum’s races, events, and book club; the WSU bluegrass band at Daddy’s Beach Club; anyone’s Laser, Opti, 110, or catboat sailing; Oceanum Vela’s race-sail repurposing; the “Goon Squad” projects; and activities at Craig Wolfe’s small boat paradise.

Always up for a drive, stroll, or roll along Nantasket Beach and the Gut, in his final years, he had adventures in the DCR beach wheelers, on commuter boats, all-arounds with Ricky Wolfe, and even steered a HLM rowing boat up and over Bumpkin Shoal.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 13 at St. Stephen’s Church in Cohasset with a joyful small-boat armada in June. Details at www.mcnamara-sparrell.com/obituary/John-Bryant.
