The Thunder Bay Border Cats are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Brendon Kerr after a courageous battle with cancer. Brendon was a beloved part of the Border Cats family, serving as our clubhouse manager during the early years — including the unforgettable 2005 Northwoods League Championship season.

Brendon’s dedication, hard work, and great sense of humor left a lasting impact on everyone who had the chance to know him. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Kerr family, and to all of Brendon’s many friends and colleagues. He will always be remembered fondly by the Border Cats community.
