Aaron Lee Kerns, age 72, of Clayton, passed away on Tuesday, March 24, 2020, at Fulton County Health Center in Wauseon. He was born in Clarksburg, WV on September 10, 1947, to Robert and Norma Jean (Poole) Kerns.
On November 1, 1969, he married the love of his life, Sue Smith, in Wauseon. She survives.
Lee owned and operated KP Precision, a machine tool company in Fayette, Ohio for over 30 years. A proud United States Army veteran, Lee served in the Vietnam War earning a Bronze Star.
He was a member of the Harrison, MI American Legion Post 404. In his spare time, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time Up North.
