Gerald "Jerry" L. Orth, age 52 of Manitowoc, passed away on Wednesday, April 27, 2022.
Jerry was born on March 23, 1970 in Manitowoc son of Reyne (Smith) Orth and David R. Orth. He was quite the handyman and helped anyone who asked. Jerry helped at home with repairs on everything and also did the yardwork. He enjoyed music, playing the drums, bowling, Packer games and visiting with his friends. Jerry especially enjoyed spending time with his niece, Montanah. He never failed to bring her something home whenever he went to the store.
Jerry is survived by his two children and grandchildren, his mother: Reyne Orth, Manitowoc; and father: David R. Orth, Menominee; three brothers and one sister-in-law: Paul (Pamela) Orth, Manitowoc, Todd Orth, Manitowoc, Andrew Price, Manitowoc; special niece: Montanah; special friend: Jodi Weaver, Manitowoc. He was preceded in death by his sister: Amy Price. Jerry will be sadly missed by all of us.
According to Jerry's wishes no service will be held. The Jens Family Funeral Home & Crematory of Manitowoc is assisting the family with arrangements. Online condolences may be expressed to the family by visiting www.lakeshorefamilyfuneralhomes.com
