Shannon Kent is Joe’s late wife, and she was a Navy cryptologist who lost her life to a suicide bomber in Syria on the 16th of January 2019 while fighting the Islamic State terrorist group.
The lovely pair tied the knot in 2014 and committed to spending forever together until their hair turned grey, but Shannon left behind her husband and their two young boys after a tragic incident.
The Kents celebrated their wedding anniversary on the 24th of December, and this year would have marked their 8th anniversary, but sadly, that won’t happen anymore; it has been three years since the cryptologist knocked on the heavens door.
It must have been hard for the ex-Green Beret combat veteran to move on and take care of their children by himself, but he never gave up and fought to be the best dad for his kids. Moreover, he is a proud father and often posts the beautiful moments he spends with his sons on social media.
Joe seems unmarried as he hasn’t revealed if he walked down the aisle to start a new life with someone new or posted a picture of taking wedding vows with a new lover.
Instead, he often shares pictures of his late wife while expressing how much he loves and misses her, and she will always remain her hero no matter how far she has left.
Furthermore, the Army combat veteran seems to have found a woman to care for his kids while he isn’t around; he wished his beloved wife a happy Mother’s Day in 2021.
Following that post, he shared pictures of a woman named Heather while thanking her for being a family and patching the hole in their hearts. However, his love for the Navy cryptologist will forever remain in his heart, mind, and thoughts.
