The crime took place in Lewisville, Texas in 1983, technically Pilot Point. Gentry previously escaped from a Georgia prison in July 1982 and was attempting to throw authorities off by assuming Ham's identity.[1] He had been serving 10 years in prison for assault before his escape.[2] Prior to his execution, Gentry issued the following final statement: I'd like to thank the Lord for the past 14 years (on death row) to grow as a man and mature enough to accept what's happening here tonight. To my family, I'm happy. I'm going home to Jesus. As the lethal drugs began to flow, Gentry cried out: Sweet Jesus, here I come. Take me home. I'm going that way to see the Lord.[3] His last meal was a combination of butter beans, mashed potatoes, onions, tomatoes, biscuits, chocolate cake and Dr. Pepper.[4] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/04/17/us/texas-executes-killer-of-a-hitchhiker.html|title=Texas Executes Killer of a Hitchhiker|publisher='New York Times|date=April 17, 1997|accessdate=October 15, 2010}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Gentry, Kenneth Edward}}2. ^Orlando Sentinel article {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120902075826/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/keyword/kenneth-gentry |date=September 2, 2012 }} 3. ^HomicideSurvivors.com article 4. ^{{cite book |title=Meals to Die For |last=Price |first=Brian D. |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=2005 |publisher=Artnik |location= |isbn=1-903906-38-5 |page=36 |pages= |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u3qVeRbr5ikC&pg=PA34&lpg=PA34&dq=%22Kenneth+Edward+Gentry%22&source=bl&ots=J37XMV_yXj&sig=l0JmOGrcw4f2et1MbcIlfmXAR6c&hl=en&ei=Sd-3TPmGG4XGlQeMorSwDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22Kenneth%20Edward%20Gentry%22&f=false |accessdate=October 15, 2010}} 8 : 1961 births|1997 deaths|American people convicted of murder|People convicted of murder by Texas|People executed by Texas by lethal injection|20th-century executions of American people|20th-century executions by Texas|People executed for murder |
