Kerry joined us at Pryor Art Gallery to help support Chris LeMay's electric football game museum. He drew people into the gallery that had never been before to hear about his Lego football stadium. The picture of the little girl was a fan of Lego Masters and came to meet Kerry. Pictured also is Chris LeMay, Ron Mango, Kerry Woo and Lisa Hoffman (curator of the gallery). He was so kind and gracious. Columbia State Community College and Pryor Art Gallery are grateful to have met him. Kerry even came back and recorded a 3D photoshoot of the exhibition for us that we were able to post on our website.

My son, daughter and I met Kerry in Lexington during a BrickUSA event. He was so kind and special, especially toward the children. He enjoyed answering the questions about his Lego love and Lego Masters show. He was so excited about their questions, I took a couple of photos of my children with him on his phone. He said he would have them to show people if my children were ever on TV or the Lego Master competition.

He will certainly be missed even though we had just met him. Our deepest condolences to your family.

Kerry was one of the most kind, positive, people I have ever had the privilege of working with. We shared a love of photography, music & technology. He was an amazing teammate during our times at Best Buy. It was so inspiring to see him pursue his photography dreams. He always cheered on the hobbies & passions of others. Thanks for all the words of encouragement, man. See you on the flip side. Kerry, you´re on the best ones. Nashville is missing you already. Sending loving vibrations, prayers and peace manifestations for the Woo family who he always spoke so fondly of.

His compassion for everyone and his never-ending humor is what I remember most about Kerry. We worked together countless hours to conduct the financial workshops for Christian Financial Concepts. I hope to be there on the 24th. Terry Hendrixson
