John R. Kerr Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved John R. Kerr of Chicago, Illinois, who passed away at the age of 75, on May 9, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of John R. Kerr to show support.

As John departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though John may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy John leaves behind.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his wife Gertrud "Trudy"; his children, Tara and Christian Kerr; his niece Megan Arroyo (Juan); his great-nieces and great-nephews, Michael, Daniel and Carina Arroyo; and his sisters, Judith Barton (Manfred) and Janet Kerr.
