Logan Basketball has lost one of its founding members, Jim Kerr.
Jim was instrumental in his commitment to Logan Basketball and affiliated junior club the Logan Cavaliers Basketball Club over the past 23 years.
He was a founding member of LBI in 1998 and served on the management committee for a number of years helping establish the organisation in the Logan City community.
A spokesperson for the club says, ”Jim was also key in delivering the East Coast Basketball Challenge a tournament that ran for over 18 years and shared our great game with clubs and teams from all over the East Coast of Australia.”
“His tireless efforts and work enriched players, coaches, referees, volunteers and members of the Thunder Family. Without Jim’s service and dedication, Logan Basketball would not be what it is today.”
In recognition of his outstanding service to LBI, Jim was awarded Logan Basketball Life Membership in 2018.
“Logan Basketball extends our sincere condolences to Jim’s wife Cheryl, children Belinda, Brendan, Rowan and extended family and loved ones at this time.
Funeral details to be advised.”
Logan City Mayor Darren Power
Mayor of Logan City, Darren Power has also paid tribute to Mr Kerr.
“Jim was a great coach, he gave every kid the same opportunity and was always positive to them even when there talent was not evident. He coached my son Lachlan for a couple of seasons and the way Jim coached Lachlan, although he does not play anymore, he still shares a love for the game. RIP Jim.”
