Not sure what to say?

I grew up with Kevin in Maryland. Our 2 congregations shared a building and our church high school athletic teams frequently intensely competed against each other. Kevin was a great athlete and a nice guy with an infectious smile. We then sat next to each other throughout our freshman year in a BYU religion class. What an experience! I will always remember Kevin fondly.

Linda, I was so sorry to read of your loss. I remember your husband's kindness and patience as he helped me learn to ski that 5th grade Beaver Mountain ski trip. With deepest sympathy, Rosanne Porter

To families and friends of our beloved friend and brother Kevin Kerr; I am speechless and in tears for the loss of such a wonderful man. Please accept my condolences.

I will always remember Kevin as a kind and gentle soul. He will be missed by family and friend. There is comfort in knowing loved ones are never far away.

Our deepest condolences to Kevin´s family. We are so heart broken to hear this news. The first time We met Kevin and his lovely wife was at McDonald´s. Me and my husband are originally from Iran. Kevin and Linda were there with their grand kids and we were there with our kids. From the playground one of his grand kid kept calling "baba" (father in Farsi) and my husband replying to that call and realized it was not our son. Kevin came and started talking in Farsi and told us he has asked his...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Although we did not know Kevin really well, I felt he had to be someone very special, because he loved and married into the Roskelly family - which was one of the very best in Cache Valley. We are very saddened to learn of his death - mainly because we sense the tremendous loss the Roskelleys and all who knew Kevin well are feeling now.

I feel lucky to have rubbed shoulders with Kevin briefly. As a young missionary in Toronto speaking Farsi 10 years ago, I felt somewhat hopeless at times. We didn´t have MTC training and did not have much materials in Farsi from the church. Kevin, by God´s grace, somehow learned about our little reignition of Farsi missionary work for the first time since his days in Tehran and had somehow gotten in contact with our mission. He would send us materials, scan old translations of things from his...

Kevin was a fellow missionary in Iran with me. My group was about 1 year behind Kevin's group and we looked up to him for leadership and guidance. Kevin could not have been a better example of friend and disciple of Christ. Such a good man that loved whom he came in contact. My first area was in central Iran and I didn't have contact with Kevin until I was transferred to Tehran in December of 1977. The first day there, Kevin suggested that the elders go out for lunch at a local shish...
