He graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a Bachelor of Science in Business. He went on to become an Independent Insurance Adjuster. Kerry married Andrea, the love of his life for 23 years, on October 23, 2010. He welcomed his two beautiful children on July 30, 2014 and April 25, 2019 respectively, who were the most important people in his life. Kerry was an amazing soul who brightened the room with his infectious smile and witty humor. To know him was to love him. He was a one of a kind, irreplaceable human who was the life of the party. He was a devoted father, husband, brother, and son; a genuine friend and an overall authentic person. Throughout Kerry’s life, he enjoyed duck hunting, fishing, a good nap, watching Landon play baseball, playing dress up with Natalia, and spending time with his family. On Saints home games, you could find Kerry in section 111 cheering on his beloved Saints with countless friends and Who Dats. He will be deeply missed by family, friends, and all who knew him. A celebration of life will be held at St. Timothy on the Northshore in Mandeville, Louisiana, on Saturday, September 2, 2023. Visitation will begin at 10am, service at 11am, and a reception to follow where we welcome all to share their memories of Kerry. In true Kerry fashion, tie-dye and Saints attire are acceptable.
