___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

Obituary : Palmquist, Kent Alan 8/30/1968 - 12/2/2021

Ypsilanti, Michigan Kent Alan Palmquist, age 53, of Ypsilanti, MI passed away on Thursday, December 2, 2021. Kent was born August 30, 1968 to Sylvia Palmquist and the late Ronald Palmquist. Kent married Melissa Palmquist (ne Dockery) on November 3, 2021. The couple had recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a family trip to New York, where they made memories they will forever treasure.

 

Kent earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Eastern Michigan University in 1992. Kent and his father shared a love of flying. As part of Kent's early aviation career, he served as a pilot for the University of Michigan Survival Flight. He then went on to work for Delta Airlines and was most recently Captain on a Boeing 737. Kent was passionate about aviation and will be greatly missed by his extended family of pilots. As a child, Kent enjoyed hockey with his dad and brother and as an adult spent summers camping with family and friends. He also was a member of MOCSEM which allowed him to enjoy his passion for Mustangs.

 

Undoubtably, Kent's greatest accomplishment was being a father to Kyla and Drew. He was proud of his children and loved to spend time with them. He will be lovingly missed by his children who were the center of his family life. He is survived by his wife, Melissa Palmquist of Ypsilanti, MI, children, Kyla and Drew Palmquist, his mother, Sylvia Palmquist of Ann Arbor, MI, brother Kurt (Cassandra) Palmquist of West Chester, OH, and nephews and nieces, Sydney, Brooke, Cooper, and Max Palmquist, Austin and Ryan Mitchell. Further survived by his beloved dog, Pria. He was preceded in death by his father in 2016, and his pets, Bailey and Delta, both loving dogs, and Mr. Squiggles, the family guinea pig.

 

A visitation for Kent will be held Friday, December 10, 2021 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Muehlig Funeral Chapel, 403 S 4th Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104.
