“Jerry” was a dedicated patriot, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, son, brother and friend. He was his family’s hero. He enjoyed many things, but, family always came first. He spent forty-eight beautiful years with the love of his life, his devoted Emma. He wanted her by his side always and that’s exactly where she was. Together they had three wonderful children, Misty, Jason and Shelly. In turn, they gave them nine grandchildren and nine great-grand children, whom he adored and they adored him in return. He constantly showed that he loved, cherished and supported his family. He will be deeply remembered for his life lessons, his undivided time and attention for each of us and his contagious smile.
He was adventurous when it came to being outdoors. When not with his family, he enjoyed being at the camp with his buddies, fishing and hunting. You could find him cruising on his Can-am Spider with “his Emma” or in his shop cranking up the music with something cooking on the pit.
Jerry was such an affectionate man. He had a personality that was so disarming and laid back that everyone became a friend and he was a stranger to no one. He was such a go-getter and achieved everything he set out to do. He greatly impacted everyone he met. We will miss you, until we meet again our beautiful brave angel. *Forever in our thoughts and a lifetime in our hearts*
