Kamari Aaron Perry, 16, of Randolph and Boston passed away July 14, 2023.

As a young boy, everyone knew Kamari Aaron Perry was a star. He was always smiling, laughing, and loving on everyone around him. As a kid, Kamari was a natural athlete and quickly gravitated toward sports. Starting Pop Warner at just seven years old, it was quickly noticed he had athletic talent. He later picked up a basketball and went on to never put it down. He played throughout middle and high school, becoming an AAU champ in 2019 with the Hyde Park Community Center.

Kamari dedicated himself to becoming the best basketball player he could be. He worked hard at practice and spent extra hours on any court he could find. His dream was to one day play for the NBA, and he was determined to make that dream a reality. His mom supported his dream effortlessly and shuttled him to every game and conference eligible to him and without any doubt, he was on his way.

Kamari was healthy, happy, and had his whole life ahead of him. Now we are left to cherish the moments we had with him, and hold those memories close to our hearts forever. We will continue to grieve Kamari for a lifetime but find peace in knowing how much he loved each and every one of us.
