Gerald Felton Obituary
Gerald Lee Felton Sr., 92, of La Porte, Indiana, peacefully passed away on July 3, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his family.
Gerald was born on Nov. 16, 1932, in La Porte, Indiana, to Fredrick and Myrtle (Weller) Felten.
On Sept. 5, 1959, in La Porte, Indiana, he married Priscilla Dixon, who preceded him in death on Nov. 9, 2018. Gerald is survived by his five children, Cathy (Duane) Grostefon of La Porte, Vicky (Dan) Keehn of La Porte, Gerald "Jerry" (Allison) Felton Jr. of Rockford, Illinois, Carol Krcilek of La Porte and Tara (Leon) Herm of Edgewood, Kentucky; 12 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; wife; two sisters; one grandson; and one great-grandson.
Gerald was a dairy farmer, who felt his time working on the farm was always his time alone with God. He was a charter member of the Stillwell Volunteer Fire Department and a past member of the Stillwell Lions Club. Gerald dearly loved his family and particularly enjoyed watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren play. He always said that his children and their families were his legacy.

So sorry for the family's loss. Every time I visited Laporte I always made sure to visit Priscilla and Gerry. And after Priscilla I was only out one other time and went to visit Gerald. He will be missed dearly. My love and prayers to his children.

I have so many fond memories of the Felton family. One of my favorite was Mr. Felton escorting myself and his daughter Tara out to the pig barn to look at the baby pigs. They were always on my list of people to go see when I was in town. Thank you for the memories, you will be missed.
