Philip McKerihan Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate Philip McKerihan in Vermilion, Alberta, whose life came to an end on February 12, 2026 at the age of 82, leaving behind cherished memories. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Philip McKerihan to show support.

As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Philip may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.

He is survived by: his wife Lavonne McKerihan; his children, Lisa Kayfish (Miles) and Brad McKerihan (Jesse); his grandchildren, Daly Kayfish (Maddison) and Taylor Silver (Eric); and his great grandchildren, Cayde Kayfish, Charlie Silver and Oliver Witt.

Barry Jackson wrote a sympathy message

“Mr. McKerihan was the best social studies teacher that ever taught at J.R. Robson high school. He encouraged us to debate, to exchange ideas and not be afraid to express ourselves. Our graduating class of 1972 thought the world of him. God bless. Barry Jackson”
