Our hearts are broken to share that Harrison Sean Kaehler, age 10, of Becker, MN passed away doing something he loved, riding his bike, on July 28, 2025. He left us nearly a lifetime too soon, but he gave us a lifetime of memories in the decade we had him.

Harrison cannonballed into this world on June 2, 2015, in St. Cloud, MN- straight into the loving arms of Paige and Nikki (Hamilton) Kaehler, and his big sister Eiley. From day one, he lit up every single room he entered — he was so kind, happy and cheeky. Even when he had to endure beating cancer before he could tie his shoes. We saw just how brave, strong, and resilient he was.

He was exceptionally particular and knew exactly what was worth spending time on and what was not. A few of his top likes: FRIYAY, vintage arcade games, McDonalds in the “King Size”, Garage Parties, the movie Predator, legos, Cool Runnings, nerf guns, basketball, baseball, finding treasures at the flea market with his family, burning cardboard, playing 10,000 with Grandpa Wayne, Homer Simpson donut, sleep masks and sweats, water pong in the hot tub, any touch of ‘Merica flare, doing anything and everything with his sister, and ribs, which happened to be his last meal. His most recently added like was cliff jumping, which he bravely did for the first time at the Quarry days before his death.

Then there were fewer, but very specific things Harrison despised: you can expect a “Hamilton Scowl” if he is uncomfortable — in any way- dirt, grass or really anything on his hands, feet or body, tags or anything poking his skin, unpleasant smells — which he would be sure to make known- and eye drops.

Harrison now joins his Uncle Sean Hamilton; Great Uncle Pat McKanna; Great Grandparents, Norene and Bud Kaehler, Beulah “Grandma B” and Ed Huse, Edwin “Pat” and Philis Hamilton, Betty and Doug Parisian, William “Bill” and Norma “Nonnie” McKanna. And he is surely “riding the Jozie”, his favorite canine cousin.

He is going to be endlessly missed by his parents, Paige and Nicole “Nikki” Kaehler; dear sister, Eiley; Aunts and Uncles, Katie (Zac) Brown, Kelsey McKanna, Kyle (Kala) Kaehler, Matt (Katy) Hamilton,  Sarah (Chris) Johnson; grandparents, Connie “Mimi” and Richard “Papa D” McKanna, Edwin “Papa Ed” and Wendy “Grammy” Hamilton, Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Wayne Kaehler; cousins, Grace and Emma Kaehler, Lily Johnson; and many other family and friends.

A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held from 1:00-4:00 pm on FRIYAY, August 8, 2025, at the Grace Lutheran Church in Becker. A Celebration of Harrison’s life will follow at 4:00 pm. Arrangements are entrusted to the Hamilton Funeral Homes – Akkerman Chapel in Mora. Condolences may be shared at www.hamiltonfhs.com.
