Kerry went to El Paso High School, graduating in 1984. He enlisted in the U.S. Army after High School stationed at the Daley Barracks in Bad Kissingen, Germany. Kerry loved the people of Germany and traveled extensively all over Europe with his best friend Klaus Engel. He was a member of the Veterans of Foreign War. After the Army, Kerry came back to El Paso where he worked in the agriculture and concrete industries. For the last several years, Kerry loved working at RJR Transportation of El Paso where he made life long friends. Kerry's endless depth of music knowledge and larger than life personality made him an exceptional DJ.
Kerry had passion for life, loved taking chances and making people laugh. Kerry was a member of the Secor Sportsman Club, winning many trap shoot competitions with his Dad. He was an avid hunter, sharing that love of the outdoors with Logan. Kerry loved being a Dad to Logan, teaching him about lawn mowing and life, cooking and having fun.
Boating was also his passion; he reveled in the trips up and down the river. Kerry surrounded himself with great friends who enjoyed his sense of adventure and accompanied him on secret missions. After walking Jessica down the isle at her wedding in Jamaica, Kerry and Beth made annual trips back to the Jamaican beach for some of the best times of their lives. Their Jamaican friends are cherished.
If you ever met Kerry, you never forgot him. He was quick with wit and a smile. All right, all right, all right! Let's Roll Soul!
