Dwayne Rian Kerrigan passed away at Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount Vernon on Sunday, July 21, 2013. He was 4 years of age. He will be reunited in Heaven with his little brother Hunter who passed away after premature birth.
He was born in Mount Vernon on March 16, 2009 to Heather Brittain and Chaz Kerrigan.
Dwayne was an amazing and delightful little boy who enjoyed cars of all sorts, Hot Wheels, Disney Movies, riding his bike, picking dandelions for his mom and recently acquired a love for the beach and swimming. He touched the hearts of all who knew him.
Dwayne is survived by his mother, Heather Brittain; his ‘Dad” Trevor Braymiller and his family; his sister, Cheyenne Braymiller; Aunts Kayetlyn & Emily Brittain, maternal grandparents, Gramma Honey & Grandpa Bo and Papa Dave & Andy; maternal great-grandparents, Don & Kay Lynch and Gramma Hazel, Paternal grandparents Patience & Rory Nash, Uncle Alex and great-grandparents Sandra & Gary Hopper and many other aunts, uncles and cousins.
Dwayne’s family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the members of the community for keeping Dwayne in your thoughts and prayers. We would also like to give a special thanks to our family and friends that have gathered with us and given their support during this difficult time.
A Celebration of Life for Dwayne will be held at Lemley Chapel in Sedro-Woolley on Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 3:00 P.M.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made at any branch of Skagit State Bank in Dwayne’s name to help cover expenses.

Dwayne you will always be in my heart. I am so glad that Honey brought you to my house to play with Bryson, Riley and Madison. All of you had so much fun in the bouncy house and slide. That is the memory I will have of you, running around playing “monsters” laughing and smiling. You were such an amazing little boy. I will never forget you. The only peace I have is knowing that you are now in gods hands taking care of your little brother and you are surrounded with people that have gone before you and love you.
Love “aunt” Patty
Rest in Peace little man
Dwayne,
You were a delightful boy and I’ll really miss not seeing you grow into a unique nephew but I will smile every time I think of you and remember how you’d always come up to me with a handful of cars and a book to read.
My Sweet Precious Little Dwayne I miss you so much. You have touched my heart more than anyone or anything else on this earth. There are so many,many more things I wanted to see you experience for the first time. I am so thankful for the times we have had together and have so many precious memories of you. My only solace is knowing you are now exploring heaven and I cant wait to be reunited with you again someday. You had overcome so much and I am so proud of you for all you have achieved in such a short time and you will forever be in my heart and in the hearts of all those who knew you. I know how much you loved being read to so I’d like to read you a poem:
Your my little Grandson,
Who means the world to me
Your living with the Angels
Still as special as can be
And even though your up there,
Playing in the clouds
Your still my precious Grandson
And I am so very proud.
I long again to hold you,
and bounce you on my knee
and only have to close my eyes,
Your little face I see.
I never will stop missing you
And wishing you were here
But sometimes I feel, indeed I know
That you are very near.
So play happily my precious Angel
I love you soooo much and always will,
I will never forget you and will see you again soon, I Love you with all my heart and soul
Such a tragic loss, I’m so sorry Jeanine and your family. I just met Dwayne last summer. My heart and prayers are with you all.
I am so sorry for your loss. Hold your memories of him close to your heart and mind, and he will always be with you…
R.I.P. Little one.
