Kerry Turner of HPG Brands / Best Promotions USA, an industry veteran of 46 years, passed away Saturday, January 16, 2021, from COVID-19 complications.  Kerry was known for his cheerful personality, kindness, integrity and great passion for the promotional business over a career spanning almost 5 decades.   <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54029442_1611013212939450_r.jpeg" alt="54029442_1611013212939450_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> A graduate of the University of North Texas, Kerry founded supplier Kerry’s Etcetera in 1974, specializing in mug and glassware fine decorating.  Kerry started Kerry’s Etcetera with assistance from his parents, operating out of their garage.  After selling Kerry’s Etcetera to supplier Numo Manufacturing in 2003, Kerry spent nearly 14 years on staff with Numo before joining Best Promotions USA, which was his last industry job before passing.   <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54029442_1611013329569297_r.jpeg" alt="54029442_1611013329569297_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> Kerry, often called “the most interesting man in promo,” was an enthusiast in many endeavors, including but not limited to, his own rock band called the Young Texans playing in for many venues during his high school and college years.  Kerry was a member of the Southern Drag Boat Association (“SDBA”), where he held a world record for over a year.   He then moved on to become a professional level national competitor in West Coast Swing (“WCS”), where he met his wife, Alisha.  He was a WCS instructor, putting national competitors in the professional level arena.  Kerry then shifted his attention to motorcycles, becoming a Road Captain for Dallas Harley Davidson.  He loved riding across-country.  His final endeavors were then shifted to cooking chili, where he won several events at the highest level in the CASI Terlingua Championships, winning many awards along the way. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54029442_1611013423534684_r.jpeg" alt="54029442_1611013423534684_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> "Kerry was the definition of the word “gentleman”.  His kindness, caring, integrity, and consummate professionalism, and his many contributions to HPG’s Best USA brand will never be forgotten. We can all be better people by following the example of how he treated others every single day." Best USA Founder,  Michael Hicks. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54029442_1611014315982281_r.jpeg" alt="54029442_1611014315982281_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> Kerry leaves behind his daughter, Addilyn (“Addi”), who is currently 6 years old, and her mother Alisha Turner.  To honor Kerry’s memory, and to help Addi’s future, please send contributions to this fund managed by Alisha.  <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54029442_161101688887162_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="54029442_161101688887162_r.jpeg" /> Due to Covid-19 risks, there is no planned public service at this time.  However, a virtual service is currently being planned in honor of Kerry.  More information will be forthcoming regarding the virtual service.
