It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the sudden passing of Alissa Kerl on August 7th. Alissa was a loving mother to Elaina and Jax, a devoted wife to Ryan Kerl, a cherished daughter to Brad MacPeek and Christine Haley. She was a beloved sister to Emily (Joe) Gonzales, and Mitchell MacPeek. She was also the most beautiful aunt to Joey and Olivia.

No words will ever be enough to describe the incredible person we lost. When Alissa was in a room, you knew it - her loud, fun personality and contagious laughter filled every space. Her smile could light up the darkest days, and her presence brought joy to everyone around her.

We are raising funds to help cover funeral expenses and provide support for her children during this unimaginable time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden and allow our family to focus on honoring Alissa’s memory and caring for Elaina and Jax. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean more than we can ever express.
