Dylan Charles Kerr

07/09/2009 - 02/17/2015
  • › Service Date: 02/21/2015


Our sweet Dylan passed away peacefully and unexpectedly on February 17, 2015, to return to the loving arms of his Heavenly Father and his Elder Brother, Jesus Christ. Dylan was born on July 9, 2009 to Steven Andrew and Rosanna Gurr Kerr in Murray, Utah. He is survived by his parents; siblings, Megan, Simon Peter and Rachel; grandparents, Nancy Esther (Ronald Karl) Englestead, and Brian Kendall and Myra Ann Froerer Gurr; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Charles Herman Kerr.
Dylan was a very smart, fun, happy, energetic little five year old who loved math and reading. He loved Mario and Luigi, playing the Wii with his brother and sisters, going to kindergarten, coloring pictures, building Legos, and his yellow blankie.
Dylan’s passing gave him the opportunity to improve the lives of three other people by donating his organs. Dylan is a precious boy who will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.

Funeral Services will be held Saturday, February 21, 2015 at 11:00 AM in the Grandville Chapel, 11677 Grandville Avenue South Jordan, Utah. A visitation will be held Friday, February 20 from 6-8 PM at Larkin Mortuary-Riverton, 3688 West 12600 South Riverton and Saturday, from 9:30-10:30 prior to the service. Interment will be at Herriman City Cemetery.



This was one of the hardest funerals I have ever had to go to. No parent should ever have to bury their child especially at 5 years old!  There wasn't a dry eye in the chapel.  Steve, Rosanna and the kids all talked at the funeral and did an amazing job.  

Such a small casket.....just too small!

This was so hard to watch the pain in these parents eyes!



Dylan loved Mario and Luigi 
They had balloons for the family to write notes to 
Dylan on.






They also had plain balloons for everyone there to write on.
The crowd all released them at the same time and then 
Rosanna's family let theirs go.

Tough day for this family, but great comfort in knowing they will be with him again.  Remember them in your prayers!
