Jerry was born in Wichita,
Kansas. As a young child, the

Colorado where he went to
school, graduating from EHS
in 1954.
Jerry married in 1955, and
later divorced. Four sons were
born of that union. He married

in Lyons, CO. They have
called western Colorado home since that time.
Jerry worked in the printing business as a pressman, plant
manager and then in sales from 1954 until he retired in 2005.
His faith was a most important part of life and he always tried
his best to follow the Lord’s direction. He was an active member
of Victory Baptist Church in Montrose, CO at the time of his
passing.
Jerry is survived by his wife, Jo; three sons; one
granddaughter, and two great-grandchildren; three step-children,

football, wrestling, and the Colorado Rockies. The two sports he
most loved to participate in were fishing and golf.
