Jerry was a true friend of our family the past 40 years. Always kind, caring and known to be a dedicated servant to the multitudes of campers who frequented Covenant Hills Camp. We know he was very proud of his children and grandchildren and will be sorely missed. We are presently apart geographically but not in the heart, we cherish our memories of good times.

Jerry was one of my favorite people -who I did not see often enough. He always welcomed me with a huge hug and a smile. From the first time I met him, I felt welcome. They helped us out with a camper for our first few years of camping out at Covenant Hills. My children always looked forwarded to seeing Jerry out at the campground during the summer. I will miss his hugs and his friendship. Until we meet again - The Plumer family

Jerry continued his service to his community spending numerous years in the Davison area ambulance service. Jerry’s greatest asset was spending time with family, friends and those he just met, and his ability to make everyone feel comfortable was a true attribute. He enjoyed camping and especially the many summers at Covenant Campgrounds. He was a ” hands on” type of guy that loved spending hours wrenching on his many friends muscle cars over the years. Jerry’s Christian beliefs led him to be an active member of Davison Free Methodist Church. Jerry had been employed by General Motors Buick Division until his retirement in 2006.
Surviving is wife Beth, and children: Stephen (Dr. Jena) Thompson, and Stephanie Thompson. He also leaves his loving grandchildren; Emanuel Thompson, Jayla Thompson, Declan Thompson and Declan’s baby sister due in August. He also leaves his sister M. Jane Acton, and many extended family and friends.
