John "Denny" Kerr passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, at his home.  Denny was born on December 7, 1948, in Lawton, Oklahoma to Frances "Libby" West and Billy "Bill" Kerr.

Denny graduated from Alexandria High School in Virgina with the Class of 1966 and continued his education at the University of Texas in Austin.  He graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration in 1970.   He began his career "working" at the golf course in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and continued to dedicate 38 years to civil service before retiring as Director of Civilian Personal at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

After retiring, Denny enjoyed traveling and watching all the wildlife "Damaw" was able to persuade to her yard with the numerous amounts of bird/squirrel feeders located about.  Denny loved spending the warm summer afternoons with family and friends in the pool and finishing off the evenings sitting with his wife having a bourbon and cigar.

He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Vonna (Foster) Kerr, who he married on September 18, 1971. He is survived by his brother, Michael Kerr of Austin, Texas, children, Reagan (Shawn) Russell of Lawton, Oklahoma, Erin Kerr of Lawton, Oklahoma and Patrick (Melissa) Kerr of New Braunfels, Texas.  He was the loving grandfather of Dustin, Kylee, Breeanna, Kennedy, Landon, Madison, Austin, Jaxon and Caitlin.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Libby Kerr and brothers, Jim and Bob Kerr.

Denny was a loving soul and had a wonderful sense of humor.  He will be missed by all those whose lives he touched.

Memorial donations in Denny's name can be made to the Cancer Centers of Southwest Oklahoma.
