I just herd yesterday from a friend of mine that sometime in the last week
Kent Gardener president of Matrix, died in FL.

As I understand it he had cancer and best I can guess he would be in late forty's to fifty age group.

Did not know the guy well as met him once at a FL NACE show in Orlando, can't even remember how long ago that was they had a show there.

Just thought I would post this in case any of you knew him or daughter that runs office (don't) know her name.

He had sold his company around two years ago to a Canada holding company, don't know the name but he must have been planning.


Just way too young.

Shine,
He did start it, he owned a Maaco shop at the time and this was a part time venture as I understand it and semi remember. till it got going, starting off with selling knockoff acrylic hardeners to other Maaco shops.

Thanks Blues, I did not make it to Nace but he had made an announcement there, that he had a year.

Guess you never know when its your time that is up.
Damn shame.
