A Falls Church man releasing his daughter’s ashes on the Outer Banks of North Carolina last week is alive today because Adam Zboyovski happened to be nearby. Kerry Michelle Kane, who died unexpectedly on May 17, 2020 at 41 years old, spent her childhood first in Sterling, then in Kitty Hawk, N.C., where she graduated from Manteo High School. She always considered the Outer Banks home, said her sister, Shannon Kane Smith, who lives in Ashburn. The family planned the memorial for Kane’s birthday and spent the week in Corolla on the northern Outer Banks.
