Kerry Donald McDaniel

Kerry was born on November 21, 1982, in Garland, Texas. He transitioned on March 14, 2018, at age 35. 

Kerry graduated from Naaman Forest High School in 2001. He went on to attend Eastfield College where he focused on General Studies. Kerry was a Sales Consultant with MUS Roofing until his health began to decline. 

Among many hobbies, Kerry enjoyed motorcycles, cigars, cleaning, hunting, fishing, and fashion - sneakers, watches, and clothes. He was a fashionable guy. He also delighted in cooking and was admired for his "mean pasta sauce". Affectionately regarded as "Baby Kerry" and "Boo Boo", Kerry was confined to a wheelchair for 10 years, but he remained an optimistic encourager for all who crossed his path. 

Loving. Fun. Entertaining. Humorous. Passionate. Optimistic. Courageous. Kerry will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
