Daryl Allen Kerr - The Missoulian
Jul 25, 2017
July 1, 2017Our beloved son, brother, uncle, dad, friend, companion, mechanic extraordinaire, business man of many and always the life of the party left this earthly world to be re-united with his brother Daren, grandparents, aunt, friends and his spoiled little Cooter dog who were waiting for him with arms wide open.Daryl, you took a part of our hearts when you left this place. As hard as it is to live without you, we don’t want it to be true, but it is and we must continue our lives with only your spirit and memories. You were truly an amazing person and one of a kind.In the 39 years we were given with Daryl, he made every day count by living each day to the fullest. He lived a lifetime in those 39 beautiful years.Daryl was born and raised in Charlo. After graduating in '95 he worked for Montana Rail Link, Jore Corporation and started numerous successful businesses. He also became a Certified Information Technology Specialist and obtained his real estate license.He was the son, brother and dad you would want to have. God blessed us with his love and affection. His undeniable love for his family was shown through his words, actions, and just "Daryl being Daryl."The proudest moment in Daryl’s life was when he became a dad. He was beyond excited to have a boy that would carry on the Kerr name. When Gage came into this world his heart grew bigger and he talked about a love he never felt before.He was a clean cut, best dressed man, even though his hands revealed a hard work ethic as a result of his passion for cars. If you were lucky enough to go for a ride with him, it was sure to be filled with laughter, good music and a memory to be made.His passions were putting others before himself, cars, a pair of jeans or boots that fit just right, giving you one liners that would put a smile on your face, and the love for his family, especially Shalayne whom he loved the moment she came into this world.Daryl was adamant about wearing baseball caps at various types of functions, even though he knew others would prefer that he didn't.
