Remembering Kentrell

A life held close in memory

Kentrell Dyion Bailey was a 30-year-old resident of LaPlace, Louisiana. While the public record about his life is limited, the facts that are available confirm he was known in his community and mourned by family when his life ended on July 28, 2014.

Official emergency and law-enforcement releases identify Mr. Bailey by full name and age and place him in LaPlace. On the morning of July 28, 2014, deputies found him unresponsive; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Those official records make clear that Kentrell was a real person with family and a place in his hometown whose loss was felt close to home.

There is little else available in published, family-authorized notices or traditional obituary sources that describe his early life, work, or personal interests. Out of respect for Kentrell and his surviving loved ones, it is important not to fill those gaps with speculation. What can be said with certainty is that he mattered to those who survived him, and his life should be remembered as more than the circumstances of his death.

For friends, family, and neighbors who carry memories of Kentrell, this page seeks to acknowledge his existence and the sorrow of those who lost him. If family members or funeral providers wish to share additional, family-approved details—stories, photographs, dates of birth, or plans for a memorial—those additions would help build a fuller, more personal remembrance of Kentrell Dyion Bailey. Until such family-authorized information is available publicly, this remembrance holds to verified facts and honors his life with dignity and restraint.
