Jerry was very passionate about life and everything he did. He loved the outdoors, wildlife, fishing, hunting, golf, the cabin, and Texas. He gave life 100% and was very grateful for every day. Jerry was a man of integrity and honesty that never wavered. He was respected by those in his profession as a salesman for Northwestern Drug, and those in his personal life. Most of all, he loved his family, and was always interested in each individual.

Jerry will be greatly missed by many. He placed his trust in Jesus Christ, and has now been called to his eternal home.
