Jerry was born in Rice Lake, WI and married his high school sweetheart. They ended up living in Inver Grove Heights for the last 40 years of his life.
Jerry was active in his church, loved being with his family, NWTF, loved to deer hunt, turkey hunt, fish and always trying for that BIG fish, camping, selling Nolting longarm quilting machines, collecting Lionel trains and helping his wife with daycare.
Jerry had many health struggles but lived life to the fullest, his strong faith in God and his family is what he lived for.
