Adam Kerr, 30, of Williamsburg VA, passed away on September 17, 2025. He was born on May 11, 1995, to Brannon and Beth Kerr.

Adam was a loving and beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and soon-to-be uncle who lived a life full of wonder. Born in Texas, he moved many times with his family before settling in Virginia. After graduating from James Madison University, he worked tirelessly in the logistics industry, first in management and then in sales. Adam had a passion for knowledge. Starting at a young age, he read relentlessly his entire life and strived to learn about as many subjects as possible. He mostly enjoyed spending time with his family, reading, gaming, and walking. He is an Eagle Scout and enjoyed getting outdoors and hiking. His incredible wit and stoic sense of humor will be missed by all who touched his life. Adam's constant is West Virginia, having lived in and visited family in Charleston throughout his life.

Adam is preceded in death by great-grandparents: Kenneth "Kayo" and Juanita Cavender (Charleston), Charles and Arminta Tackett (Charleston), James "Blink" and Gladys Ayersman (Morgantown), and William and Edna Kerr (Ft. Wayne, IN).

Those left to cherish his memory include his parents, Brannon and Beth Kerr (Williamsburg, VA), brother Evan (Samantha) of Charlottesville, VA, sister Lauren Kerr (Williamsburg, VA), grandparents Gene and Diana Tackett (Charleston), Roger and JoEllen Kerr (Salem, OR), and uncles, aunts, and cousins.

At the family's request, all services will be private.
