Arian Walker Kohler

Arian Walker Kohler, 28 of East Stroudsburg passed away at home Friday, February 18, 2022. He was a proud father, husband, son, uncle, brother, grandson, veteran, and friend. He was born in Hanover, PA on May 16, 1993, was the loving husband to his wife, Jasmin Mercado and adoring father to their daughter Mila Lou Kohler. Arian dedicated everything he did to the betterment and growth of his family. Mila was the center of his world. They loved riding around together on their side-by-side. He also loved teaching her new things from riding a bike to using power tools and everything in between. He enjoyed traveling with his family and beloved dog, Jameson. His relationship with his mom was extremely special. She was his idol and role model. Extremely fun, playful, class clown, inspiring, and accepting are just a few words to describe Arian. He and his sister, Alexandria, were extremely close and shared many friends. He especially loved pulling pranks and getting a rise out of her. Arian was an incredibly giving and compassionate person. He was one of the founders of 4 Ayden Strong, which is a foundation he started after losing his young brother to DIPG, a rare brain cancer, which is committed to raising awareness of pediatric cancer and raising money for research. Arian proudly served his country as a member of the United States Marine Corps. He often said, “You are not mentally bound by anything; showing the joy in life with the ones you love is what you should be remembered for.” Arian started his own construction company A&H Contracting. He was especially pleased and proud to use his creative skills on projects to help others in need. He is survived by his mother, Becky Hannon and her wife, Jyl Connor, his father, Brian Fish and his fiancé, Loren Rabbat, his sisters Alexandria and Kayla, his Grandmother Elizabeth (Becky) Hannon, his Uncle Walker and wife Kristina and their children Nicole and Peyton. In addition, he is survived by his in-laws, Jimmy and Lucy Mercado and their children, James and Justina. He was forever grateful for being surrounded by a tight knit group of friends he considered his family, too many to mention here. He is predeceased by his grandfather, James Hannon, grandmother, Nancy Hannon, and brother, Ayden Kohler. Your resilience and positive outlook of life made you instantly loved by anyone you encountered. You made your mark on all of us Arian and we are forever grateful for the memories you gave us.
