Kerry, I will never forget the crazy things we did. Remember the time we were wrapping a house and someone stole your mother's car and then proceeded to chase us down with it? Remember the crazy trip to New Braunfels and staying overnight at that Truck stop and every driver that came in would play "Play that Funky Music White Boy?" It got so bad that we kept singing it all night and laughing 'til we cried. There are so many stories. My favorite is when you took me to dinner at a very nice restaurant, I don't remember where, but it backed into the woods. We were eating dinner next to a large picture window and we were met face to face with a wild fox. He stared at us and we stared at him in amazement. It probably wasn't very long, but it seemed that time stopped. Thank you for a wonderful time as always. Keep everyone laughing in heaven.

Until we meet again, Kerry, our good friend and Cousin...

Also know that you, Aunt Mary, Uncle Jimmy, Chrissie Boy, Randy, family and friends will always be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

Randy, as with many others in this guest book, please know that you, Marion and family will always have Cousins and friends to call on in myself, Pat, Shawn, Chris and family.

May God bless and guide you all through this very difficult time,
Sheila and Pat

I didn't know Kerry real well personally but I worked with him at the Houston plant for a few years. I remember Kerry as always smiling and always helpful. Praying for him, his family and friends. Based on the pictures I've seen on this website, he lived life to it's fullest! God Bless.

I know a big part of my heart is gone, I have so many wonderful memories with Kerry it is very hard to narrow it down to just one. He was ALWAYS in my life since birth, he even babysat me.. We had to call his mom Aunt Mary and my Nana Kitty to pick us up because he was scared we heard something outside. I spent a lot of time with him over our lives together and I will miss him very much. He brought such love and joy to me he will be greatly missed. I know he is with our departed family members looking down on us and I know he is drinking a beer... I love you Kerry until we meet again.. I love you. Amber
