Thomas M. Kerns Sr. of Geneva passed away Saturday, Aug. 29, 2015, at his home surrounded by his loving family.

Tom was born on Nov. 12, 1960, to Connie (Mask) and Glen Kerns in Maricopa, Arizona. He lived in various other states including California, Wisconsin, and most recently, Minnesota. He married his wife, Sarah, in Myre-Big Island State Park near Albert Lea on June 4, 2011. Together they made their home in Geneva.

Tom had a lifelong career as a truck driver, starting in 1988 and was self-employed. He enjoyed working on classic cars and enjoyed music — including singing karaoke and playing guitar.

Those left to cherish the memory of Tom include his wife, Sarah; children Thomas Jr. (Amie) Kerns of New Providence, Iowa, Brian Kerns of Menomenie, Wisconsin, Staci (Shelby) Froh of Martell, Wisconsin, and Lucas, Logan and Kelly Harden of Geneva; 16 grandchildren; sisters Lisa (Steve) Ersland and Lori Hawkins-Kerns; and many close family and friends.
