Richard James Kerrigan was born on November 20, 1951 in Brooklyn, New York and passed away on March 1, 2020 in Temecula, California. While a New Yorker by birth and spirit, he was also a Californian by choice starting from the first time he watched a sunny Rose Bowl Parade as a child in freezing Brooklyn. He spent most of his life in California, New York, and New Jersey but also traveled widely for work and lived on three continents. He was predeceased by his parents, James and Gloria, and brother, Thomas. He is survived by Jayne, his wife of thirty-five years, Ryan and Colin, his sons, Annelise and Sarah, their partners, Janet Connors, his sister, along with many cousins, nieces and nephews, and friends. He will live on in the fond and grateful memories of his family and friends. A funeral mass will be held in his memory at Mary, Star of the Sea in La Jolla, California on Wednesday, March 11 at 11 AM. Those who so desire may make memorial donations in his name to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
