Our amazing, loving, superman husband, brother, son, and papa, Tony Allen Paul Kerr, ended his battle with cancer on October 14th, 2025 at the age of 46. He was born November 21, 1978 in Provo, Utah to Roger and Patricia Riley Kerr. Tony came into this world fighting and left the same way, fighting to the very end.

Tony was loved by many, and he loved many. He truly lived life to the fullest. As a child, Tony loved the outdoors from fishing and camping, to spending time with his family.

Tony’s obsession with cars, running or not, started at a young age and continued into adulthood. Tony enjoyed working on projects around the house, especially if it meant getting a new tool. As an adult, Tony’s biggest joy was his family and he took great pride in being able to provide for them. Tony’s greatest love was his grandbabies. You could always count on Tony to have a baby in his arms. He truly had a heart of gold and you could always count on him to offer a helping hand.

Tony worked for years as a truck driver and always took great pride in his work. He truly loved the people he met along the way and the places he ventured. Tony would have loved to be shot into space to explore the great galaxy above, but as Yoda would say, “The End, this is not.”

Tony is survived by his wife, Penie Kerr; mother, Patricia Kerr; siblings, Angie, Amber (Greg), Steven (Susan), and Michael; his children, Tyler, Ashlee (Shawn), Cal, Dakota (Kya), Kayla (Trent), Michael, Brittney (Kasen), and Niki; his beloved grandkids, Tanor, Gunnar, Waylon, and Kohen; along with many loving nieces, nephews, family members, and friends.

He is preceded in death by his father, Roger Kerr; in-laws, Sam and Barbara Leek; brother-in-law, Dana Nielson; and his grandparents.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to the entire staff at Banner North Colorado Medical Center for the loving care and support they provided Tony and his entire family during this difficult time.
