Gary Raymond Kerr passed away Friday, July 4, 2003, at Tri-State Memorial Hospital in Clarkston. He was 49 and a lifetime valley resident.
Gary was born March 19, 1954, in Clarkston to Dolly and Arthur E. Kerr. He attended Charles Francis Adams High School.
He spent his earlier years working throughout the Northwest in various construction jobs. He later went to work in his father's residential construction business as a carpenter. He and his brother, Dennis, took over the family business, Kerr Construction, after their father passed away in 1997.

I pray that I may live to fish
Until my dying day
And when it comes
To my last cast,
I then most humbly pray,
When in the Lord's
Great landing net
And peacefully asleep
That in His Mercy
I be judged
BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP
