Jerry Harrison Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 29, 2024.
Jerry Dale Harrison, aged 75, of Fort Myers, Florida, passed away on August 24, 2024. Born on August 31, 1948, in La Plata, Missouri, he was a cherished son to the late Ronald Harrison and Wanda Bowen. Jerry's brother, Larry Harrison, also preceded him in death.

Jerry is lovingly remembered by his wife, Brenda Harrison; his children, Brian Harrison (Nichole Hamilton), Jon Harrison, and Sara Clark; his grandchildren, Jacob Clark and Zane Harrison; and his siblings, Michael Bowen, Wayne Bowen, and Pam Smith.

A proud veteran, Jerry served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War from 1969 to 1971. His commitment to his country was a significant part of his life. After his military service, Jerry established a successful career as a welder and fabricator and later shared his skills as a teacher at Lee VoTec in Fort Myers, FL.

Jerry was a kind and gentle man who cherished the moments spent with his family. He had a passion for traveling and sightseeing with his loved ones. He also enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren engage in various activities, always offering his support and encouragement.

Jerry completed his early education at Fort Madison High School in 1966, laying the groundwork for his future endeavors.

The Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home and Crematory in Fort Myers, FL, alongside Sarasota National Cemetery, are assisting the family during this time. Jerry's life and legacy will be honored in a manner befitting his significant contributions and deep love for his family.

Baseball games and camping are my fondest memories of my Uncle Jerry. He loved me and my siblings like we were his own. My heart is broken but he will forever live in my memories.
