Kerry Livermore Obituary

"Do you have time for a quick, clean joke?" Kerry Livermore was known for trying to make someone's day brighter with a kind gesture or a quick, clean (corny) joke. Kerry passed away at the age of 76 after succumbing to ongoing health issues, and is now at peace with his God Almighty and has a new audience in heaven for his jokes. Born in Lake Oswego, Oregon, he was the oldest son of Gordon and Arvilla Livermore, graduating from Portland State University with a business degree. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 50 years, Joan, his daughters Melinda Ioanidis (Paul), and Megan Livermore. He also leaves behind his brother Mike (Jane), his sister Patty Black (Walt), nephews Mike Livermore (Sheryl), Jason Rankin, Scott Rankin (Callie), niece Lauri Freudenthal (Mike), and step-grandson Ryan. Kerry worked in various jobs within the real estate industry, but was known for his love of carpentry, and for organizing and managing building projects to improve the churches they attended and at his daughters' schools. He also volunteered throughout the community to help those in need of construction help. No project was too big for him to tackle. His heart's desire was to leave the world a better place than he found it. His memorial will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, February 3, 2018, at Arcade Church, 3927 Marconi Ave., Sacramento, CA. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be given on Kerry's behalf to the Shriner's Hospital or Volunteers of America.

An LOHS classmate emailed me that Kerry had died. He was one of my best and earliest grade school friends--part of a group of 10 or so who began kindergarten together in the Presbyterian church after the school burned down. We shared quite a few adventures growing up and I always enjoyed seeing him at LOHS reunions. I hate seeing our ranks begin to thin and will really miss him.

One cannot remember Kerry without smiling. His kind heart and corny wit and his obvious caring for others was Kerry. He helped our family more than once in our time of need- during prolonged unemployment and when 2 70ft trees fell in our yard- Kerry was quick to organize help and be hands on to help us through these difficult times. He will always be a smile in my heart and his legacy will live on through Joan, Melnda and Megan. Sending much love-
