Gerald Loyd Querry Sr., 70, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his family July 26, 2025. He was the loving husband of Jane Ann Querry. Born February 15, 1955, he was the son of the late Lenore S.(Nolan) and Jacob Querry.
Gerald's life was a testament to the beauty of simplicity and the richness of experience. He cherished the great outdoors, finding immense joy in hunting and camping. These hobbies were not merely pastimes for Gerald; they were opportunities to connect with nature and create lasting memories with his family. He cherished the moments spent around the campfire, sharing stories and laughter under the stars, moments that brought his family closer together.
Family was of utmost importance to Gerald. He dedicated his life to nurturing and supporting his loved ones, always placing their needs above his own. Whether it was attending a school event, lending a listening ear, or providing wise advice, Gerald was a constant source of love and encouragement. His gentle spirit and warm smile will forever be imprinted in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
In addition to his family life, Gerald was deeply committed to his community. He was an active member of his church, where he devoted his time to serving others. His involvement extended to the local food bank with his church, a cause that was near and dear to his heart. Gerald believed in the importance of giving back, and he spent countless hours helping those in need, embodying the true spirit of compassion and service.
