It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Peter Francis Kerr, on October 23, 2025, in his 83rd year, after a courageous battle right to the end. Dearly loved husband of Aileen for 57 years. Adored father and father-in-law of Carolyn and Dean, and much-loved Grandfather of Dylan, Danielle and James - his grandchildren were his greatest joy. A funeral service to celebrate Peter's life will be held at Sacred Heart Church, Ludstone Road, Kaikōura, on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at 1.00pm, followed by interment at Kaikōura Cemetery. Special thanks to the staff at Kaikōura Hospital for their wonderful care and compassion.
