Truman Michael Kerst

Truman Michael Kerst, our beloved son, left this world after filling every day of our lives with joy, laughter, and love.
Born with a sparkle that brightened every room, Truman was a beautiful, happy baby. He lived life with a relentless, playful, and joyful spirit. He loved to dance, laugh, and play, especially alongside his big brother, Robert, who was both his companion and his hero. Truman delighted in doing things his own way. His spirited independence and cheerful energy made him unforgettable to all who knew him.
He adored his mom and dad with pure, boundless love, and in return, he was cherished beyond words. Though his time with us was short, Truman leaves with us a lifetime of happiness and memories.
His life was a constant gift. He will be deeply missed and always remembered with love. His bold laughter, his bright blue eyes, and his happiness will remain in our hearts forever.
Truman is survived by his parents, Allison and Jeffrey Kerst, his brothers, Robert and his soon-to-be-born little brother, as well as his grandparents, Bob and Laura Haynie, Bill and Leslie Kerst, and Sheila Hansen.
