William Milo “Milo” Kerr, age 89, of Leitchfield, Kentucky, passed away on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, in his hometown of Leitchfield.
Milo was born on December 17, 1936, to the late Guy and Fronie Stevenson Kerr. He was preceded in death by his brother, Vernon Kerr, and his four sisters, Elaine Tarrence, Maxine Poteet, Winnie Daniel, and Edna Saltsman.
He was married to the love of his life, Betty Rose Tarrence Kerr, on July 2, 1960. Together they built a life centered on hard work, faith, and family. Betty survives him.
Milo is also survived by his son, Jeffery Glenn Kerr; his grandchildren, Dylan Andrew Kerr (Ashley) and Rebecca LeighAnn Kerr (Andrew); and his great-grandchildren, Maya Grace Kerr and Charlotte Rose Hairlson.
Milo was a retired construction worker, spending many years working in the trade. He was known by his family as the man who could do it all. Hard-working, dependable, and capable, he could fix nearly anything and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
He enjoyed hunting, fishing, watching western television shows, and most of all spending time with his family. He was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and in his later years attended Welches Creek Baptist Church.
Those who knew Milo will remember his humor, his strength, his kindness, and the steady presence he brought into every room. His life was defined not by words, but by the quiet way he showed up for others.
