Kerry spent his life rooted in the bayous of Louisiana, where he found his greatest joy in the outdoors.

He is survived by his wife, Ernestine Senter Granier; his three sons, Brady Granier of Sherman Oaks, California, Teddy Granier of Kraemer, Louisiana, and C.C. Granier of New Orleans, Louisiana; and his daughter-in-law, Kelly Granier (Teddy).

Kerry leaves behind his brothers Randy “Soul” Granier of Kraemer, Louisiana; Barry (Rachael) Granier of Chackbay, Louisiana; and Mark (Tammy) Granier of Kraemer, Louisiana; as well as his sisters Debra (Dennie) Allen of Center City, Minnesota, and Ursula (Curtis) Hudson of Youngsville, Louisiana.

He is also survived by two sisters-in-law: Cookie Granier, wife of his late brother Allan Granier, and Julie Granier, wife of his late brother Norman Joseph Granier, Jr.

He is preceded in death by his parents; his brothers Allan Granier and Norman Joseph Granier, Jr.; his sister-in-law Monica C. Granier; and all four grandparents: Theodore and Louise Cortez Granier, and Wilson and Clalie Usea.

Kerry will be remembered for his love of the outdoors, the peace he found in nature, and the time he shared with those closest to him at the camp. His family honors his life, his story, and the legacy he leaves behind.
