Best brother ever, period! I couldn't be prouder of the person you were and the love and kindness you shared! We've had some serious stomach cramp hysterics more times than I can remember, and I plan on continuing that when we meet again! Until that day, I'll love a little harder and laugh a little louder in your memory! Peace out, Jet!!

I am so very sad to hear of Jerry passing. We were best friends, grew up together, worked together and rode motorcycles together probably every day. I have so many great memories of us that I will never forget. i wish we could have spent more time together as we got older. Even though we lived far apart, we still tried to keep in touch. I will miss you my friend. May you rest in peace.

When Jerry walked into our house he filled the entire space with love and a beautiful, caring energy.
He gave the best HUGS! When he hugged someone he would whisper in their ear, "Our hearts are beating as one."
He'll always be remembered for his kindness, generosity & love for his family, friends & 2 Godchildren, Kali Kearns & Corey Schuld.
Most of all I'll miss our time shared together, Jerry's contagious laugh and love for my animals.
"If love could have kept you alive you would have lived forever?" Precious bro-in-law, you will live on in my heart & the hearts of your family & friends forever! Much❤, Your sis-in-law P.S. Until we meet again I will cherish forever our time shared together.
