Blakely May Koerner, a cherished and vibrant small fry, graced this world with her presence on December 28, 2024, in Ann Arbor, born to loving parents Tracey Micheal and Chasity Lynn (Potter) Koerner. Her journey, though brief, was filled with love and joy that touched everyone around her. On February 14, 2025, surrounded by her family at Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor, Blakely's spirited fight came to a peaceful close.

In her 48 days of life, Blakely's sassy and sweet nature shone brightly, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts she encountered. Her smile and the joy she brought to her family in the simplest of pleasures will be cherished memories that will last forever.

Blakely is survived by her parents, Tracey and Chasity Koerner , and her beloved sister, Kinsley. Her memory will be treasured by her grandparents, Lynette Latunski and Aaron Potter, as well as Floyd and Lisa Koerner III. Great-grandparents Floyd Koerner Jr., Gerald Latunski, Betty (Coleman) Eno, Steve Anderson, Connie (Hite) Anderson, along with numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins, will hold Blakely's spirit close to their hearts. She is preceded in passing by her great-grandmother, Nancy Koerner, along with her aunt Lindsey Koerner.

Blakely will forever be remembered as the family’s "small fry".

"Mom and Dad will love you forever and always, small fry”.
