Mr. Kent Glasscock

Aubrey Kent Glasscock slipped the bonds of Earth and a pain ravaged body, passing from Death to Eternal Life with his Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus on October 12, 2015, after a long and painful illness. We who love him celebrate his freedom from this life and rest assured in the knowledge that we will see him again and spend Eternity with him in the Presence of God Almighty. Kent was born to Aubrey Emmet Glasscock and Billie Dennard Glasscock in Henderson, Texas on May 23, 1936 and passed to his eternal Home in Heaven on October 12, 2015, from his adopted home of Carthage, Texas where he was a member of First Baptist Church and a member in good standing of his beloved Sunday School class where he was blessed with many friends. As a young man, following in the footsteps of his father, he became a very successful builder, land developer, and subdivision developer, building both commercial ventures and private homes. Some of his ventures were building Dairy Queens in several locations, commercial office buildings, commercial warehouses, and renovating hotels plus building several bank buildings. His homes were prized for their quality workmanship and he built custom homes for private clients as well as spec homes for sale. He had an uncanny sense of the economy and adjusted his homes to be affordable to the general public. In addition, he renovated an historic building, turning it into a convenience store, adding a laundromat, a small office building and a carwash to that location. His last venture into service businesses was a Tru-Value Hardware store. Always loving to travel, upon retiring he made a grand tour of the United States over a period of about two years. He helped with floods in the Dakotas, stopped here and there to help his fellow man, finally settling in Bulls Head City, Arizona for a period of time before returning to East Texas. During that time he was briefly in Timpson before choosing Carthage, Texas as his permanent home. Mr. Glasscock is preceded in death by his parents, Mr. And Mrs. A.E. Glasscock. He is survived by one son, Bradley Kent Glasscock of Henderson, Texas, one daughter Dana Schamberger and husband Rich of Loveland, Colorado, four grandsons, and four great grandchildren. He is also survived by his only brother, Billy Karyl Glasscock and wife, Terry of Frisco, Texas and their three children and grandchildren. Additionally, he is survived by many caring cousins and lifelong friends and business associates. Services under the direction of Hawthorn Funeral Home, Carthage, Texas will be as follows: Visitation with family at 1:00 p.m. at the funeral home; services in the Chapel of the funeral home at 2:00 PM, Sunday, October 25, 2015, with the Reverend James McRight officiating. A Eulogy will be delivered by his son, Bradley Glasscock. Pallbearers will be Coy Glasscock, Albert Longoria, nephews; Richard Schamberger, son-in-law; Neil Foster, grandson; Maurice Thomas and Danny Yount, members of his Sunday school class. Among honorary pallbearers are the members of his Sunday School Class, and David Jarrell, Jerry Norman, Carl Burris, Harold Sadler, Jimmy Boyd and nephew, Chet Glasscock. Mr. Glasscock will be laid to rest in Concord Cemetery in the Concord Community near Mt. Enterprise, Texas where he spent many happy years with his grandparents and cousins. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” Psalm 165:15 KJV.
