In Nomine Patris Et Fili Et Spiritus Sancti. Foreverlasting Saint Michael The Archangel, defend us in the war and battle against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and all other evil spirits prowling around the world seeking the ruin of Souls. Amen.
No cop deserves to die. No cop deserves to die. No cop deserves to die. God help Law Enforcement. I pray for your soul to be with us all the time. Eternally, Be at Bliss. I pray for this with all my heart and soul. I do not protect your killer. Ever. Amen.

I live in the UK and feel very sorry for the wife and daughters of this man. For them to still be awaiting justice is a disgrace.

Kent grew up in Stockton, Kansas, he was a few years younger than me but was my younger brothers age. Being from a small town (1400) we all knew each other, and it didn't matter if there was 3-4 years difference. We played sandlot baseball and football, and drive way basketball. His mom worked for my father for many years. I remember Kent as a fun loving guy who enjoyed being out doors and hanging out with friends. He was a good athlete as well. My wife had just moved to Houston a year before Kent's life was taken. I knew he had moved from Kansas to join the Houston police department, but I had not re-connected with him prior to his death.

As I approach my 40th year as an LEO and reflect back Kent always comes to mind, a life cut short to soon, an adoring wife and two beautiful daughters without a husband and father. A sacrifice like no other. Kent and I attended the Wichita Kansas Police Department academy and graduated in May 1980, Kent left for Houston in 1985 as I recall, We honored him by escorting him and family to his final resting place here in Kansas in May 1998. He will never be forgotten. It is my hope that Nancy and the girls have been blessed beyond measure, and know that they are always in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi Nancy,
Just found this memorial as I was reflecting on Kent and yourself in the unfortunate wake of another officer we lost on Friday (Sept. 27). I also just learned of the lack of justice that's continued since that night. I'm so sorry Nancy, I only hope that you've managed to find closure over the years through our Lord and your faith.
I can't express how earnestly I pray that you've found happiness and love again and find yourself surrounded by the joyful and good things life has to offer, of which you are so richly deserving.
I wished I'd gotten to know Kent better, but I have no doubt that he was as fine a person as I knew you to be.
The good folks we meet in life tend never to stray far from our hearts and memories and so is the case with you and your family Nancy.
I'm so glad and so grateful for having known you and for being able to share with you just how highly I thought of you and Kent.
All my prayers to you and the girls and may God bless you always!!!
Never forget to let life love you Nancy!!!

Society has failed us again my brother. These bleeding hearts paint a picture that none of us can believe. May he burn in hell on his judgement day.
May you rest well in a better place and watch over your loving family. May God bless them and give them strength.

To the family of Officer Kincaid,
I just watched the show regarding the stay of execution your husband's killer had received. I did see information regarding the sentencing phase of Anthony Haynes. I cannot believe he has any thought in his head that he can come across as a good person with a one time mistake. He has been a menace to society and his family most of his life and there is no rehabilitation. The death penalty is the correct and only decision that can be made in this case. I pray for you and your family to stay well through these times. God is with you as his your husband and dad. I wouldn't waste a moment on this low life. WE ALL SEE THROUGH THE ACT HE PUT ON.

Rest in Peace Police Sergeant Kent Dean Kincaid. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice protecting the citizens of Houston, Texas.
I Pray for Peace for your Family, Friends and the men and women of the Houston Police Department. I also Pray that the hounds of hell forever pursue the scum that murdered you. May he know no peace on this earth nor in the after life. May his grave be infested with thorns and weeds. May he burn forever in the lake of fire!
Amen.

I also say the show. I think about how young most of these killers are. it makes no sense to me what's going through their heads. bad decisions??? that seems to be the answer most give. I have no way to determine if the death penalty is right or wrong. all I know is that 2 families suffer the loss of a loved one. I feel for the Kincaid family for what life must be with losing your dad,husband,son. senseless murder. may you rest in peace sir..

I just watched a show all about your killer. He was given a stay, and to this date, no execution date has been set. As a Christian, I believe in GOD's mercy and grace, but I also believe that we must pay the price for our decisions and actions. I look forward to meeting you one day in Heaven. You should be proud that your memory is being carried on by your wife and beautiful daughters. May GOD continue to keep you in HIS arms and bless your family. Thank you for your sacrifice, as you paid the ultimate price. I'm just sorry more attention is given to your killer than in remembering your life and sense of duty.

Dear Nancy Jena and Courtney,
I just finished watching the BBC documentary and have to say to you how deeply sorry I am that someone can have their life "snuffed out" in such a callous and instantaneous manner. All your lives were turned upside down in a matter of seconds and can never, ever, be the same again.
Words are truly hard to come by at times like this,other than to say "you were all touched by a hero" and through this documentary, we all are. Best wishes from Ireland.

Uncle Kent,
It is 16 years to the date today, and I have missed you every day since. Everyday, you inspire me to be a better person, a better husband, and a better father. It gives me great pride to see where Nancy, Jena, & Courtney are in thier lives today, and I know that you are happy and proud of each of them as well. Your niece, Kyliegh, is almost 2 1/2 years old and I know you would have loved to have met her, my wife Meredith, & Caitlyn. Kyliegh enjoys tossinig the ball around, and I wish you could show her how to catch a pass behind her back, like you showed me. You are truly missed, and are forever in my heart and memories.
