Donnie "Don" Joe Kerr, age 80, Coweta resident went to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday evening, August 31, 2018 in Tulsa, OK. Don was born the oldest of a set of twins to Tom and Belle Stephens Kerr on June 22, 1938 in Ramona, OK. Don only had a third-grade education because he quit school to help support his family of nine. As a young boy he worked from any of Coweta's local famers and had numerous other employers as a young man, including Pepsi Cola and RC Cola.
