I worked with Kevin at UAL and AAR Indy. Like Kevin, I was diagnosed with kidney cancer too, about five months after him. I had his work email, so one day I emailed him and asked if we could talk. He called me back right away from work. I think he was in Kansas at the time. He guided me thru it, and shared his experiences.  I will always be truly thankful for that.  God has a plan we don’t always understand. I am truly thankful for God putting Kevin in my life.  He was funny to work with and be around. He always had a joke. You are missed Kevin Kerr. God Bless

Hi my name Waleed Kawar (Wally) as Kevin call me crazy Jordanian. First time I met Kevin in 1999 we worked together at United Airline in same hanger and shift for two years. Then after I left aviation for 10 years I see him again in 2011 at AAR. Kevin was a great friend he always have a smile always joke around very happy person. We always give each other hard time joking around. Two thing I remember when I was with United Kevin was one of the ppl who supported and backed me up after Sep 11 because of my background.

Kevin had the phone numbers to all the hanger paging systems. Whenever he wanted to harass someone he could announce it over the paging system for all to hear. He could do this from from anywhere in the facility.

During SWAs first year at Indy I was a lead on the winglet line. One Sunday afternoon, we had an outbound plane that was scheduled to make a flight that night. The cabin had yet to be cleaned. Kevin saw me cleaning alone and without saying a word, he began helping. Within an hour we had the cabin ready for the flight. I will never forget his willingness to help and pitch in to get a job done, even if it wasn't his own. 

I was a swing shift lead on the winglet line. I had a technician who was absent for over a week. My supervisor informed me that the technician wouldn't be back for an extended period of time. The sister of the technician was worried because she was unable to contact him. She ended up contacting SWA in Texas to locate him as he had told her he worked on SWA planes in Indy. Kevin came in on a Sunday night on behalf of SWA looking for him. After several phone calls we were able to connect the technician with his sister. Kevin's selfless actions helped reunite the sibling and reduced her anxiety.

REMEMBERING: a friend with a Bubbly/Fun loving personality usually with a friendly smile and laughter, a man who could/would make conversation with anyone he encountered, witty/quick sense of humor, helper whenever he saw someone in need (didn't have to know them), a straight shooter - always said it the way he believed it was and could get away with telling you that, grounded in his faith in Jesus and was comfortable sharing this, it was evident to us he loved Quenton, Joyce, Kim, Kaleb, Brittany and Kimsey (oh yah Kirby) and your lives were important to him, hard, hard worker who was willing to put in the hours to provide, gets A+++ for cleanest cars and garage, loved to eat good food and DESSERTS.

I was visiting AAR quite a few years ago . Harold was griping Kevin out , (Kevin had let his airplane run and taxi certificate expire) Kevin was just looking at Harold. I jumped in and said Kevin can’t run and taxi Harold was surprised and said Why now? I said cause he can’t reach the pedals. Then Kevin stood up real tall ( well as tall as he could heehee) stuck his chest out and said I can to, have my pedal blocks !!

OK as you all know Kevin was a country boy and we lived in the city of Gladstone. I can remember Kevin going to cross the street to the mailbox to pee...And I said “WHAT ARE YOU DOING” ???? He answered me very seriously and said I’m peeing… I said NO You can’t do that here

Oh boy...he never gave me a moments rest. His quick wit and sarcasm kept both of us entertained. Typically, it ended with him rolling his eyes at me and muttering something under his breath!!

He told a story about sitting at the Kerr table as a teenager - there were NO leftovers...you better get what you want when they were passed around the first time!!

I have a good story. I was visiting AAR, Lance was taking all of us it for a nice dinner. Kevin was working 2nd shift so he said he would be there a little later than the rest of us. I cannot remember who asked if they had a kids menu . The waitress said yes she did we told her Kevin was short, so she asked if we needed a booster seat. Well you can guess we said yes please . Kevin came in and looked around and saw the menu and said okay I get it. Ha ha. He went to the seat and the booster seat was in it. He sat in the booster and had to wiggle his butt to sit in it. He sat there for a couple minutes , when he stood up the booster was stuck to his butt. He had to pull it off. He and all of us had a good laugh. That is the Kevin I have know for 20 years and LUV'd him. He was one of the good guys and I miss him very much. Sue

Beautiful! It wouldn’t let me sign in but, Kevin loved to invade my space. He would always try to come up and hug me. He would chase me all over the Indy hangars. He’d chase me with his arms out reached for a hug. Given the size differences I’m sure it looked pretty silly. I sure do miss him!
