Douglas Rowland Kerr

Our beloved father, grandfather, sibling, and friend passed away peacefully early Thursday morning on the 6th of August in Tooele, Utah. He is survived by his son, seven grandchildren, and his brother and sister. Douglas will be missed. He is loved. He was generous, kind, thoughtful, and always willing to listen to those who needed a listening ear. Born in Calgary, Canada, in 1930, he was raised in Cardston, Alberta, Canada. As a young man he served an LDS mission to New Zealand. He briefly attended BYU, and later attended The Royal Academy of Arts in London, England, where he made several lifelong friends that he held very dear. Doug was an aspiring artist, playwright and actor. He loved philosophy, art, books and debating the authorship of Shakespeare. He dedicated much of his life to learning about these things and spent many enjoyable hours doing so. He will be missed greatly by his family and those who were fortunate enough to know and love him. Dad, we love you. Sero Sed Serio. A graveside service will be held at the Tooele City Cemetery at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 11. Services entrusted with Didericksen Memorial, (435) 277-0050.
