Hayes Kerr Johnson
November 10, 2011 — April 28, 2023
Hayes Kerr Johnson, age 11, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, April 28, 2023. Hayes was born on November 10, 2011, in Topeka, Kansas to Kyle and Shalen Johnson. He was a fourth grader at Cair Paravel Latin School.
Hayes was a sensitive and kind boy who loved his friends deeply. He was constantly creating encouraging cards to give to friends and was not afraid to let them know how much he cared for them. He also enjoyed drawing and creating his own version of Pokemon cards. He loved cheering for K-State and the Kansas City Chiefs alongside his family. He was a dedicated brother known for pushing his sister's buttons but also cheering them on from the sidelines in whatever activity in which they were participating. He loved school and would jump out of the car, happy, and yell "Bye Mom!" with no hesitation as he walked into the school, excited to get his day started.
We grieve for our son and the dreams for his future that we shared with him. Hayes is survived by his parents, Kyle, and Shalen Johnson of Topeka. His sisters, Logan Lemay Johnson, and Landrie Clark Johnson are also of Topeka. His maternal grandparents, Danny and Karla Clark of Flower Mound, Texas, and paternal grandmother Mary Beth Kerr Johnson of Overland Park, KS. Uncle Jason Clark and Aunt Lori Clark of Muenster, Texas, Aunt Kimberly Crandall and Uncle Morgan Crandall of Olathe, Kansas, and cousins Hunter, Evan, and Jacob Clark of Flower Mound, Texas, Jessica Clark of Gainesville, Texas, and Chance Crandall of Olathe, Kansas, and a vast extended family. He was preceded in death by his uncle, Dustin Clark, and paternal grandfather, Gary Johnson.
Hayes Kerr Johnson knew and loved the Lord Jesus Christ with all his heart. He believed that Christ died for him and therefore we have great hope in knowing that we will be reunited with him in eternity. We are counting down the days.
Memorial services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 6, 2023 at the Topeka Performing Art Center, 214 SE 8th Street, Topeka, Kansas. Dove Southwest Chapel is assisting with arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing in Hayes' memory to his beloved school, Cair Paravel Latin School's playground fund.
