Kent Steadman
Cyberspace Orbit
Kent Moedl Steadman (1942 - 2008) was born January 17, 1942, during a snow storm at his great-Aunt Mary's in Sandy, UT. In much the same way as he entered, Kent left this world at the age of 66, when his heart gave out while playing in the snow with his grandson at his home in Burien, WA.
Kent received his Master's of Arts from Brigham Young University in Utah. He was a highly respected art teacher at Fresno City College for 23 years. After retirement, Kent continued to serve as a mentor and teach others about the art of love, intelligence, creativity, and compassion. Born with a disability that he overcame through art and music, Kent understood the joy of being different. A troubadour and vagabond, many will remember his music, which he believed to be the true expression of the soul. Kent was a pioneer on the internet with his site, http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/, where he shared his philosophy with many people. His playful sense of humor always charmed and uplifted his friends and loved ones.
He was preceded in death by his father, F. Moedl Steadman; mother, Leah Steadman; brother, F. Bruce Steadman. He is survived by his wife, Wendy Steadman; brothers, Stan, Dave, Randy, and Lee Steadman; children, Shannon, Amber, Leah and Brian; grandson, Quentin Camp. We will be honoring his life with music, art, friends, and family.
