A Personal Note from CEO Andy Smith on the Passing of Kerrico Holmes

My heart is heavy, but I joined with thousands in our community to honor who I deemed as a great man, a visionary leader, and a dear business colleague, Kerrico Holmes.

His impact on the lives of those who had the privilege of knowing him was profound, and his contributions to our industry and community will be remembered for generations to come.

Kerrico was more than just a colleague—he was a man of integrity, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to his work and the people he served.

His passion for excellence and his commitment to uplifting others set him apart as a true businessman. His presence was a source of inspiration, and his absence leaves a void that cannot be easily filled. He was a supporter of iConnect Newspaper allowing us to place physical papers for free in the salon.

On behalf of our entire team and myself, I extend my deepest condolences to his wife, children, family, friends, and all who were touched by his life. May we find comfort in the memories we shared and strength in the lessons he imparted.

Rest in power, Kerrico. Your legacy lives on.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Andy Smith
