Kent Weinhold

August 25, 1960 — June 17, 2023

Kent D. Weinhold, 62, of Reinholds, passed away early Saturday morning, June 17, 2023, at Hospice and Community Care in Mount Joy after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Ephrata, he was a son of Marian E. (Stoner) Weinhold and the late Clarence J. Weinhold Jr. Kent and his wife, Cathy (Harting) Weinhold would have celebrated 40 years of marriage this September. Kent was a graduate of Cocalico High School, class of 1978. He worked at Steffy Printing in Ephrata and most recently at ITP in Elizabethtown in pre-press and graphic design. He loved working on outdoor projects. Kent's labor of love was building decorative rock walls that included a collection of rocks he gathered from special places he visited. He also enjoyed collecting Breininger and Robesonia Redware pottery, a hobby he enjoyed with Cathy. When a piece of pottery broke, that too was added to the rock wall. His outdoor interests also included deer hunting and planting hosta. He had a heart for stray cats and accumulated a small collection of kitties - indoors and out. Family and friends were a priority to Kent. His nieces and nephews lovingly called him, ‘GUK' (Great Uncle Kent) and he was an influential Godparent. Kent was a kid at heart which made him so approachable and relatable to kids, particularly his nieces and nephews. He enjoyed a good find at an auction, being with friends, cold beer, and a cigarette. He was an avid reader of sci-fi novels and enjoyed learning about the mind. He enjoyed social gatherings and was a member of the Dutchman Hunting Camp and Reamstown Athletic Assoc. Kent was honest and hardworking, always lending a helping hand to any need. His battle with cancer is a testimony of his strength, grit, and tenacity. In addition to his wife and mother, Kent is survived by a brother, James Weinhold, husband of Karen (Brady) of Schubert, three nephews, Chase, husband of Wendi Weinhold, Colton Weinhold, & Miles Weinhold; two nieces Abbey Rineer (Zach) & Emily Harting; three grandnephews & two grandnieces. Mother & Father in-law, J. Edwin & Faye Harting, sister in-law Bonnie Showalter (Jim) and brother in-law Rick Harting (Sharon). In addition to his father, Kent was predeceased by two brothers, Rick Weinhold and Kirt D. Weinhold. Contributions are appreciated in lieu of flowers to Reamstown Athletic Assoc, P.O.
