Kerrly’s Obituary
While on a boys Golf Trip in Cuba, passed away unexpectedly from sudden health complications, on Sunday March 16, 2025. Ian was 62 years of age. He was born and raised in Parry Sound and has resided in Paris for the last 33 years. Predeceased by his parents James Alexander ‘Alec’ and Doreen (nee. Gougeon). Cherished husband to Sherry (nee. Stacey) for 35 years. Beloved father to the twins Jake (Amanda) and Jordan (Jackie) and Poppa to Connor and Callum.
Brother to Bonny (Bill) McConnell, Sandy (Chris), Heather Kerr Cadeau, and Donald (Heather). Predeceased by his ‘other’ brothers Wilfred Stacey, Patrick Stacey. Loved by his ‘other’ sisters Venah (Dan) Saulnier, Verle’ (Chris) Croft, Shelley (Brad) Wright and Jane Simpell, and ‘other’ brother Jim (Anne) Simpell. He was the ‘favourite Uncle’ to many nieces and nephews and loved by many cousins.
Ian formerly owned Bavarian Window Works in Kitchener, with partners Dean and Morgan, where he spent 25 years building a successful and respected business. Ian was the greatest friend to everyone, a father and brother to many, and enemy to no one. He will be forever missed by the Paris gang – Bill, Ute, Russ, Kathleen, Dave, Ellen, John, and Bev, his Thursday wing night friends, his golf buddies – especially his brother from another mother – Steve (Mary), his Parry Sound lifelong friends and everyone who ever met him.
The humble King of charity silent and live auctions, supporter by proxy of the Brant Community Health Care System and the Rotary Clubs of Brantford. ‘Dad’ to Rotary Exchange students – Tessa, Janni and Nora. If you needed any kind of help – financially, building something, moving somewhere or emotional support – you called Ian. Ian was always happy but was especially content when with Sherry, his boys and family – with a cigar hanging out of his mouth, a Keith’s in his hand, giving his dog a treat and being in his boat.
Friends will be welcomed at the DWAYNE D. BUDGELL Funeral Home, 1105 Rest Acres Road, Paris, Ontario, on Thursday, April 10, 2025, from 7 – 9 p.m. A Memorial Service will be held at the Brantford Golf & Country Club, 60 Ava Road, Brantford, Ontario, on Friday April 11, 2025, at 11 a.m. In Ian’s memory, donations to Participation House Brantford or the Brant Community Health Care System would be appreciated by the family.
