Daniel (Danny) Kerr, 75, died peacefully on Sunday, August 28, 2022. He was born December 23, 1946, in East Chicago, Indiana, to Robert and Kathryn Kerr. He grew up in Hammond IN. and graduated from Morton High School. He was brought to the Hampton Roads area by his service in the US Navy, where he met his beloved wife Minette and resided in Virginia Beach for most of his adult years. After being honorably discharged, he spent over 20 years as a Master Police Officer for the city of Virginia Beach. He retired in 1995 and spent several years working for Virginia Beach City Schools as a substitute teacher.
Danny was an avid golfer and enjoyed spending time with family and friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents and beloved wife. Survivors include son Andrew B. Kerr (Adriane); daughter Karen G. Bennett (Joshuah); four grandchildren Michael (Laura) and Amanda Bennett, Thomas and Kevin Kerr; one great-granddaughter Riley Bennett; his companion of several years Judith Busching; 2 sisters, Mary Anne Mcardle, and KT Krajnak; 5 brothers, Bob, Chuck, Patrick, Jim, Jerry, multiple nephews, nieces, cousins, and many others whose lives he touched.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m., Sunday, September 4, at Altmeyer Funeral Home, 5033 Rouse Dr. in Virginia Beach.
May Danny’s family find comfort in the fact that Danny was a good honest cop who was well liked and respected by all who knew him, both as a street cop and detective. Not only was he a good cop, but a loyal friend. I liked going on extraditions with Danny. I enjoyed his company and he had a sense of humor. He always took it well when I teased him about being a “Dan Aykroyd look alike.” Rest in peace Danny. See you on the other side.
