Not sure what to say?

I taught and coached Jerry for three years. He always gave it 100%. He had a wonderful sense of humor.

One in a million! Love you more than all the words! Rest easy! ♥

We miss you Bake, we were so NOT ready for you to leave us! Our world will not be the same without you, we love you❤

What a wonderful man to be blessed to have known. May you rest in piece and know so many peoples lives you have touched will never forget you.

Hi time on earth was well spent. He was a steward of the land!
May God be praised.

While I didn’t know Jerry personally, last summer when my husband was in the hospital and our horse died, Jerry came to the rescue. He offered use of his back hoe and wouldn’t take a cent. He said “that’s what neighbors are for.” He was a life saver for me and I’ll never forget his kindness.

Baker was the best coach I've ever had. He was fun, challenging and always had a smile on his face. He will be greatly missed by anyone who knew him.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Jerry will be forever in our hearts and memories.
He was part of our extended family and he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
