Danny was one of the best brothers. He loved the out doors, fishing, hunting, I’m going to miss him calling me almost everyday to say really nothing but just to check in. Telling me funny stories on stuff that happened or that he done. He’s now with his older brother Randy may he RIP and see mom and dad as well. My heart is broken
Prayers and our condolences to Sharon ( Pogo) and the family.

Sharon … we are so sorry to hear of Danny’s passing. Love and prayers sent to you and your family..
There’s so much to say about uncle Danny that my thumb would fall off trying to type it all. Danny showed me how to deer hunt. He was there when I got my first deer and many after. I spent more time in his basement and pole barn then I did any where else for many years. It will always be in my heart and will passed on through my son’s. Because my dad and all 3 of my uncles are the best role models. God bless you uncle Danny see you again one day I love you Danist.
I’m glad you were part of my life Dan . I appreciate the man you were and always will be . From a little boy I got see what a family man was from you and even though I wasn’t your blood you still treated me the same from deer hunting,mushroom hunting and all the crazy funny things in what we called deer camp . Most importantly giving me a few encouraging words when I needed them the most because that’s the kind of man you were so until we meet again I know if it’s brown it’s down but save me a few you can have the big buck my friend .
Prayers to Sharon and family
You are greatly missed, Uncle D. Some of my favorite memories of you are when you and my Dad (Randy Kerr) were gathered around a table, whether in the porch, dining room, pole barn, wood shop…any where you guys were. All the laughs and jokes. The way you hand danced!! Just one hand out like you were a DJ scratchin a record, droppin beats. Makes me smile just thinking about it. Oh the memories!! 💙
I pray you keep my Dad company until I see you both again.
Sharon, Victoria, Meagan, & all the family- I love you all and I pray for solace and peace in this time of mourning. I pray God wraps you in his warm embrace and you know how much you are loved.
Uncle Danny has completed his earthly journey. As those of us still here to carry on do so, we will always have the funniest memories involving him! The New Year’s Eves spent in his basement playing ping pong and sitting around the tables laughing, the ham and beans (Uncle Danny’s were soooo good) gatherings during the Earth Festival, and the hogs he roasted for so many gatherings!! His laughter would bring smiles to everyone’s faces that were within hearing. His one line sayings he became very well known for were sure to make you laugh. Thank you Uncle Danny for all the great memories, I love you and will greatly miss you!!
So very sorry to hear of Danny’s passing. I love the whole Kerr family! We had some of the best times together even though it has been years ago. Danny was a great guy with a heart of gold. He will be so missed. Our thoughts & prayers are with all of his family. Our deepest condolences.
I’m so sorry for the family’s loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
