Funeral Services Set for Barnegat Teen

A viewing and funeral services are scheduled tomorrow for the Barnegat High School student who has been described as an "honor student, [who was] looking forward to graduation and joining the military." 

According to information posted on the Barnegat Funeral Home's website, Kerrin K. Ramesar, 17, of Barnegat passed April 14, 2013. Born in Trinidad, his family emigrated to the United States in 2000 and settled in Barnegat. Kerrin was an Honor Roll student at Barnegat High School, where he was a member of the La Crosse team. He was also passionate about motor sports. 

"Not everyone knew him but he meant a lot to everyone," said Barnegat junior Ashley Hall, who spoke on behalf of about a three dozen students at the Board of Education Tuesday night to request a moment of silence be taken for Kerrin during school hours. Their request was granted by the school's superintendent. 

Surviving Kerrin are his parents, Andy and Carmele Ramesar; a brother, Aaron Ramesar; a sister, Ariel Ramesar; his grandmothers, Emelda Tokhai and Myrna Williams; many aunts, uncles and cousins.

The viewing is scheduled for Saturday, April 20th from 8:30 to 9:45 a.m. with funeral services to follow at 9:45 a.m. at Barnegat Funeral Home, 841 W. Bay Ave., Barnegat.
