Kermit Dale Sergent

With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Kermit Dale Sergent, known to all as Dale, who left us on November 7th, 2023, at the age of 70.
Born in Rockholds, KY on June 20, 1953, Dale was a man of many talents and a heart filled with love for his family and friends. To paraphrase Shakespeare, Dale was a man “whose life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say to the world, ‘This was a man!’”
Dale was a successful self-employed entrepreneur, the proud owner and operator of Sergents Pay Lake and Grocery in Woodbine, Kentucky. He was known for his dedication to his work and his community, always ready to lend a helping hand. He was a Master Mason and member of Hugh Harris Lodge and Grey Lodge. Apart from his business pursuits, Dale had a passion for martial arts, playing music, and most importantly, spending quality time with his family and friends. His hobbies were a reflection of his lively spirit and his love for life. He was a man who truly understood the value of time and the importance of cherishing every moment.
Dale is survived by his sons, Shon (Angel) Sergent and Dr. (Amanda) Sergent; his companion, Terry Hudson; his grandchildren, Jon, Jocelyn, Mariela, Solomon, and Joel Sergent; and his sister, Parcilla (Lance) Douglas.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Kermit and Ruby Sergent, and his siblings, Delmar Sergent, Flora Nantz, Pearly Nantz, and Evelin Cooper.
As stated by Ralph Waldo Emerson, “It is not the length of life, but the depth of life,” and Dale’s depth of life was indeed profound. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, November 15, at 1:00 pm, followed by the funeral service at 3:00 pm at the Croley Funeral Home, 103 South 2nd Street, Williamsburg, Kentucky.
Internment will be at the Sergent Family Cemetery in Rockholds, Kentucky at 4:00 pm.
We invite you to share your memories of Dale, upload photos, and offer your condolences at the memorial page. Let us remember Dale not with sadness, but with gratitude for the love and joy he brought into our lives.
