Don was preceded in death by his parents, Leslie Kerr and Ruth Howard, as well as his two sisters, Carolyn “Jeanie” Herman and Judy Kerr, and his brother, Leslie “Beau” Kerr. He is survived by his loving wife, Del, who was not only his partner but his best friend. They met in Cuba, New Mexico, during the late 1970s, and their bond flourished, leading to their marriage on July 3, 1981. They briefly lived in Como and Fairplay before settling in Buena Vista, Colorado. Together they built a beautiful life filled with love and laughter.
Don is also survived by his son Les, daughter Monica, and his beloved grandchildren, Balty and Sienna.

When he wasn’t doing that, he could be found tinkering around in his shop working on various projects for friends and family. His passion for life and the simple pleasures it offered made him a dear friend to those fortunate enough to know him.
