Custom Painted Family Memorial Helmet
This custom painted helmet was created for Adam Kerber of Jordan, MN, as a heartfelt memorial to honor his family members who tragically passed away in a terrible accident in Kansas. The Kerber family wanted this memorial custom painted helmet as a special birthday gift for Adam, giving him a way to remember and keep his loved ones close during his motocross career. Hopefully down the road, it will be a great trophy to display as well.
The design of this custom painted MX helmet was deeply personal and meaningful. The color pink played a big role because it was the favorite color of Adam’s sisters. We used hot pink tones throughout the helmet to reflect their vibrant and loving personalities. This thoughtful touch made the helmet a symbol of remembrance and love.
On the back of the airbrushed Shoei helmet, we painted small, detailed portraits of Adam’s family members. Each face required hours of careful helmet airbrushing to make sure every detail was right, even though the space was so small. It was important to capture their likenesses so that Adam would feel their presence whenever he rides. These portraits made this custom family memorial helmet one of the most challenging yet rewarding projects I’ve custom painted and airbrushed.
In addition to the portraits, we included soft, sharp graphic designs around the helmet to tie everything together. These elements, combined with Adam’s motocross sponsors, created a balanced and unique look that honored his family. The custom helmet painting process involved blending the memorial theme with the style of a traditional dirt bike custom painted helmet, creating something only one person in the world has now.
This custom painted memorial helmet is a way for Adam to carry the memory of his family, and I was honored to be trusted with such an important project. While the story behind the helmet is heartbreaking, being able to create something so meaningful for Adam and his family was a privilege.
Working on custom painted helmets like this reminds us of the power of art and its ability to bring comfort and connection. Every element of this helmet was designed with love and care, making it a tribute that will always hold a special place in Adam’s heart. Through MX helmet painting and custom helmet airbrushing, we were able to create a memorial that celebrates the lives of Adam’s loved ones while giving him strength and inspiration on his life’s journey.
