Not sure what to say?

Our deepest sympathy Suzanne to you and your family. Just 50 years ago to the day when Jere and Gary were in our wedding and the boys stashed their tux in our freezer (it poured that day)! Full of pranks but the Eckenroth boys had great family values and work ethic. So many success stories followed Jere through his career in education. You will be missed. Love, Glenn and Sherri Harmon

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ~From a headstone in Ireland

With much love to Suzanne Shelly and Mat. Jere was my big brother who was always there if we needed him. I will always treasure the special holidays and vacations we all shared together as a family. I'm so glad my sister Suzanne brought such a wonderful man into all of our lives.


Death leaves a heartache No one can heal; But Love given by the person who is no more leaves a memory No one can steal.

Rest in peace Jere, you are, and continue to be dearly missed. Say hello to Mike for me.

I am saddened to learn of Jere's passing. Jere was a good friend to my father, Tom Lucas. I loved Jere and looked forward to the Wilson Golf Tournament every year to have Jere on my team. He absolutely cracked me up with his stories of high school and his love of "corn pie" from the food truck at the golf course. I will miss him dearly but have so many wonderful memories of Jere. My condolences to you & your family.

We are celebrating the life of my brother-in-law, Jere Eckenroth today. No one will ever be able to fill shoes. He was a wonderful husband to my sister, father to my niece and nephew, father figure to many in our family, teacher to thousands and friend to everyone he met!!

We will miss you dearly, Jere, but you will forever have a place in each of our hearts....

I was at Camp Harmony Hall when Jere was Director. He was a great mentor at this very early point in my nursing career. You have my deepest sympathy.

I loved working with Jere at Harmony Hall, I loved his humor and compassion. I feel lucky to have known him, Suzanne, Shelly and Matt.

My sympathies are with Jere's family during this difficult time. I worked part time driving for U Haul with Jere. He spoke of his family often as we drove. I also was fortunate to have heard from him about his lifelong passion for education and his commitment to young people. He will be missed by many.

Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this time. Maureen, Jerry, Stacey, Craig and Allison Egger
