Not sure what to say?

Jerry is thought of frequently and his memory forever is engraved in my mind. Miss you brother!

Jerry...........you are often on my mind and always in my heart. I am sure you and Pat are in touch with each other now. We were so lucky to have a life on earth that connected our families. Cousins are great best friends. Guide us along the way!! Jacquie Lee Kelley

Its hard to believe that its been almost a year since Jerry passed away. I miss him dearly, and always will. We grew up next door to each other in Iowa and he was a real loving brother to me. I do not believe that anybody knew Jerry better than I did. We were that close. Jerry and Jade bought my parents property in Veneta from me and built a beautiful new home on it. About 4 months before Jerry passed he called me on a Sat. morning and asked if I would come out and talk. I said...

One year later and Jerry is still on my mind. He was a true friend and is sorely missed! Life is precious and short and losing Jerry is proof we’re not here for a long time but for a good time. I had many good times with Jerry and not enough time with him. Live large in memory of Jerry and know someday we will break bread with Jerry again and talk again with one of the good guys gone on without us.

I was trying to find Katie when I came across this obituary. It is hard to believe. He has always been in my heart.

How wonderful that he has such a big and loving family to honor him. You are all what made his life special.

Jerry - Thanks for teaching me how to race those cars! You were always an awesome big brother and caring person. You will be missed on the planet. Love ya man

Jerry you are and always will be a great friend we definately had our fun working for different Case Equipment dealers over a 30 year span. You are going to be missed by me and a lot of other people, but I sure am glad you are out of the pain you were in. Thank you for the memories you left us all with.

So glad I got to see Jerry in his home recently and happy he is no longer suffering. You will be missed Jerry!

Big brother - Little brother. RIP dear friend.
