WATCH: Tony Hawk surprises friend with renovation of Wilmington home
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Professional skateboarder Tony Hawk recently surprised his longtime friend and her family with a renovation of her Wilmington home.
According to a news release, Hawk met Kerry Overman decades ago when she started dating and married his best friend, Ray Underhill. When Underhill passed away in 2008 after a long battle with brain cancer, Hawk committed to helping his family both as a close friend to Overman and as their children’s godparent.
Hawk said renovating Overman’s house was a way to give the family something meaningful. He used Houzz to transform their kitchen, living room and bathroom into a more functional and bright space that honors Overman’s rustic style with help from PBC Design + Build from the Houzz community.
“I’m so thankful to be a in this family’s life and it was a huge honor for me to renovate their home,” said Hawk. “I used Houzz to pull together the entire project from finding a local design-build firm with great reviews and sharing ideas with them to buying the ideal products and furniture we used. When Ray passed, I vowed to help Kerry and her family however I can and I am proud that we were able to create such an open, modern and functional space perfect for their close-knit family.”
