DOERR, Patrick A. – Age 44, of Tewksbury, formerly of Andover, passed away in New Hampshire on Wednesday, June 11, 2025. He was the beloved husband of Alison (McArthur) Doerr.
Born on November 15, 1980, in Lawrence, Massachusetts, Patrick was the cherished son of Donna (Perkins) Doerr of Londonderry, NH, and the late Alan W. Doerr.
A devoted father, Patrick stayed home to raise his four children with love, humor, and care. He especially loved spending time at the family's camp in Effingham, NH, where he and the kids would go "frogging," explore nature, and enjoy the outdoors. Patrick was also an avid comic book and anime fan, and he shared that passion with his children. His warmth and playful spirit will be deeply missed.
In addition to his wife Alison and his mother Donna, Patrick is survived by his four beloved children: Helena, Nora, Ryan, and James Doerr. He is also survived by his sister, Melissa Mallous of Salem, NH, and her children, Joseph, Megan, and Thomas. He will be dearly missed by his in-laws, Bruce and Kathleen McArthur of Peabody, MA; his sister-in-law, Kendal McArthur, and her children, Lilla, Gavin, and Riley Cayer of Andover, MA; his brother-in-law, Devin McArthur, his wife Jennifer, and their son Nicholas of Salem, NH; and his brother-in-law, Sean McArthur of Haverhill, MA.
Visiting hours will be held at the Burke-Magliozzi Funeral Home, 390 North Main Street, Andover, on Friday, June 20, 2025, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM.
Donations in Patrick's memory may be made to a fund established for the benefit of his children and may be mailed to: Alison Doerr C/O Burke-Magliozzi Funeral; Home, 390 North Main Street, Andover, MA 01810
