Kernian Royal Obituary

Royal, Kernian

63, of Tampa, Fl, also known as Kern or Tez, passed away July 6, 2025, from serious complications of the heart. Kern was born in Brooklyn, NY on May 28, 1962 to Mary and George Royal. He was preceded in death by his older brother, Kevin Alonzo Royal; aunts, uncles, cousins, great-aunts, grandparents and father. He is survived by his mother, Mary Royal; siblings, Lamark Hall, Chantè Royal, Michelle Ables (Anthony) and Lolitha Royal; aunt, Shirley Berrian; son, Givenchy Royal (Ashley); daughter, Asia Boykins; cousins, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and many friends. Kern which he was called had a strong head on his shoulders. Those of you who knew him knew when he wanted something done he would find a way to do it. He was a Jehovah Witness. He had just begun his journey to become the person he knew Jehovah and Jesus wanted him to be. He appreciated all the things his brother, his sisters, other family members and his Christian family did for him during his time of illness. You will be missed but never forgotten.
