Gerald Tripp Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on September 12, 1938, in Indianapolis, Indiana, Jerry lived a life marked by quiet strength, steadfast faith, and devotion to family and community.
A proud Army draftee and successful entrepreneur, Jerry owned multiple businesses throughout his life.
His greatest passion, however, was serving his Savior, Jesus Christ. A devoted member of Family of Faith Bible Church, he poured his heart into helping build and plan the church's facilities, creating a legacy that will continue to bless others for generations.
Jerry's humble, loving, and dependable nature touched everyone he met. Whether lending a hand, crafting with wood, or working on his beloved HO trains, he found joy in the simple things. Even in his quiet moments, his faith spoke loudly.
Jerry was preceded in death by his beloved wife Barbara Sue in 2009 and is survived by his children, Son, Breck & wife Kendall Tripp and Family. Daughter, Julie & husband Bill Chestnutt and Family. A celebration of his life will be held after the holiday at Family of Faith Bible Church.
As his family lovingly remembers, every morning he'd text, "Keep looking up! Thank you Jesus for everything! I love you, Pop."
