Kerry was predeceased by both of his parents.

He is survived by his loving wife, Jennifer (Zweig) Hebert; and by his two sons, Edward Zweig Hebert and Joshua Douglas Zweig Hebert. He was a devoted and tender husband and father and a constant source of strength and support, who always put Jennie and the boys first. When asked what words best described their father, the boys said there were not enough to do an adequate job.

He is also survived by his brother, Errol Hebert and his wife, SunJa of Portsmouth, N.H.; his sisters, Vicki Stevens and her husband, Alan of Starks, Pegeen McConnell and her husband, Steve of Wiscasset and Shawna Kelly and her husband, Hugh of Detroit.

Kerry’s contributions to his family, friends and town cannot be replaced. He was a blessing in the lives of all who knew him. He had a great depth of knowledge in many areas and a quick wit. He was always there to help in any way people needed.
