Rion Kerr Obituary
Rion left us unexpectedly on a warm May evening. He was a talented, creative, and sensitive soul with passionate convictions. Rion possessed a curious intellect and loved designing and building things, as well as expressing himself through creative writing and gaming. He loved animals and could never pass a dog without stopping to pet it.
Rion is survived by his parents Randy Kerr and Laura Johnson, his brothers, Connor and Asa Kerr, his grandparents Fay and Gary Johnson, his Uncles Mark Johnson and Brian Johnson, Aunts Beth Johnson, Susie Whalen (Phil Whalen), Wendy Hill (Chris Hill), Beth Kerr and Jean Kerr Denhardt (Paul Denhardt), as well as many loving cousins. He is predeceased by his paternal grandparents Chad and Richard Kerr.
Rion was deeply loved and will be forever missed. He believed strongly in the power of a good hug. In way of remembrance, please hug someone today and every day. Memories and condolences can be shared online in his guestbook at www.macphersonfh.com

Omen Nostromo (formerly Sam Rollins)
June 13, 2024
Rion was like my brother, from 4th grade, all the way through the first couple years of college together at BCC. We were thick as thieves, then he seemed to drop off the face of the earth, and I moved to Atlanta. It's been ten years, and despite efforts to reach out, I never did get to talk to him again. I'll miss you, little bro. I'm sorry I wasn't there...I hope, if there is an afterlife, you're living it up like the Norse gods, or something like that. I dunno. If not, I can promise you left a mark on me that will never fade until I go too. Your second life has begun. My memories, and the memories of those who loved you. Farewell, Brother.

Rion, when you were just a little guy, we were all blown away by your intelligence. You were so articulate, using words bigger than you were! If I remember correctly, you were reading the Harry Potter books at 7. You were sensitive and cared so deeply. Rest now, hon, and know that you are loved and will never be forgotten.
Love,
Aunt Beth (Johnson) Scales
