Graeme Thomas Kearney

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Graeme Thomas Kearney, age 12, of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina on Sunday, January 5, 2025. Graeme was a bright light in the lives of all who knew him, a deeply creative soul who brought joy, curiosity, and kindness wherever he went.

Born on June 19, 2012 in Wilmington, Delaware, Graeme was an exceptional young man with a passion for the arts, both in the worlds he created on paper and in the ones he explored through his love of anime, video games, and books. His drawings often captured the vivid imagination he possessed, showcasing a talent beyond his years. Graeme was a thoughtful and avid reader, constantly diving into new adventures while his love of anime sparked his creativity and wonder.

Graeme is lovingly remembered by his parents, Thomas Joseph Kearney and Kristin Nicole McIntosh; his younger brother Ellis McIntosh Kearney; his maternal grandparents, Timothy and Donna McIntosh; his paternal grandparents, Thomas and Karen Kearney, and a large circle of extended family and friends. He leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness, touching countless lives with his bright spirit.

A celebration of Graeme's life will be held for family and close friends on Friday, January 10, 2025.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Graeme's scholarship fund which will honor his memory and allow artists like Graeme to achieve their dreams. Checks can be made out to Kristin or Tom with a memo line for Graeme's scholarship.

Though his time with us was far too short, Graeme's light will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew him. He was, and always will be, deeply loved.
