Donnie was predeceased by his parents, Donnell and Florence Kerr, his sons, Ross and Brad and his siblings, Allister (Mynn), Lois (Duncan Ferguson) and Jean (Blair Phillips).

Singing was always a passion with Donnie and he expressed this passion when

he sang with the Men of the Deeps and Knox United Church choir. He was also a dedicated Mason and was Past Master of The Tyrian Youth Lodge 45.

The family would like to thank the Cape Breton County Homemakers Society and the VON who provided wonderful comfort for Donnie allowing him to remain at home.
