Gerald Ray "Jerry" Greer

Gerald (Jerry) Ray Greer passed away January 6, 2026 at Norman Regional Hospital in Norman, OK, surrounded by friends and family. Jerry was born June 23, 1949, in Newton, KS to Lowell Greer and Rosa Lee Greer (Maples). Following school, he joined the Army when he was 18, serving from 1967 to 1970. While serving, he earned multiple Service badges, Bronze Service Stars, and was an expert rifleman.

Jerry's career involved owning his own VW repair shop, being a fireman, and working for Boeing Aircraft for over 45 years. During his career with Boeing, he worked many places across the country as an E-6 Fleet Support manager, overall logistics manager, and finally as the E-6 Subject Matter Expert (SME) until his passing. He was known as "Mister Mercury" to Sailors, government and Navy leaders, and the Boeing people he worked with. There was never a question he couldn't answer, never a problem his knowledge didn't help resolve.

Outside of his career, Jerry enjoyed travelling, collecting various musical instruments, and playing music. He was a talented musician, having mastered the guitar and dobro, and loved to sing and play with his many friends and family. He and his wife LaDonia, loved playing "jams" at local places including nursing homes and churches, and especially their own home, where they welcomed many passionate musicians. He was known for looking out for others and helping in any way he could. He was respected and loved by many and will be truly missed.

He is survived by his wife, LaDonia Carlson-Greer and son/grandson, Devlin Vega of the home, his children: Rick, Laura, Summer, Dominic, and Seth and his brothers, Dan and Kent.

Jerry was preceded in death by his father Lowell, his mother Rosa Lee, and his brother Ron.

A memorial service will be announced at a later date.

Arrangements are under the thoughtful direction of Moore Funeral and Cremation.
