A joyful bachelorette celebration for Tyrese Haliburton’s fiancée, Jade Jones, turned heartbreaking after her close friend, Makenzi Kern, reportedly passed away during a trip to St. Barts.
According to multiple reports, Kern died on June 8 at the age of 26 while attending Jones’ bachelorette getaway ahead of her upcoming wedding to the Indiana Pacers star. Family members reportedly stated that Kern suffered unexpected health complications and that there is no suspicion of foul play, drugs, or alcohol involvement.
Kern and Jones shared a longstanding friendship dating back to their time at Iowa State University, where both were members of the school’s cheerleading program. Friends and loved ones have remembered Kern as a vibrant, compassionate individual who brought joy to those around her.
What was meant to be a memorable pre-wedding celebration instead became a period of mourning for Jones, her bridal party, and everyone who knew Kern. Neither Jones nor Haliburton has publicly commented on the tragedy.
As tributes continue to pour in, family and friends are honoring Kern’s life and the lasting impact she made on those fortunate enough to know her.
Our thoughts and condolences are with Makenzi Kern’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.
