Jerry Buckley Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
In November of 1965, Jerry married Stephanie "Steve" Theresa Fitzgerald. This union was blessed with four children, Amy, Greg, Kirk, and Derek. Together they raised their family in Lytton. Jerry worked for many years at Noble Manufacturing in Sac City before starting his own lawn care service. Jerry took care of many lawns in the area for many years before retiring at the age of sixty-five.
If you knew Jerry, you knew he wasn't shy. He never met a stranger and could talk to anyone at any time. He enjoyed wheeling and dealing almost as much as a cold Coors Light. When he wasn't working you could find him watching his 'wrastling' aka WWE on television. He was in all of his glory the time Greg took him to a live match. He absolutely loved it!
Above all, Jerry loved his family. Spending time with them and traveling to watch his grandchildren's events always brought a smile to his face. He will be dearly missed by his family and all who knew and loved him.
Survivors include his children, Amy (Alan) Kearnes of St. Joseph, MO, Greg (Julie) Buckley of Elm Springs, AR, Kirk Buckley of Sioux City, IA, and Derek Buckley of Sioux City, IA; grandchildren: Zachary Brayton of Waterloo, IA, Megan Brayton (Tony Souvannasone) of Le Center, MN, Taylor (Courtney) Buckley of Sioux City, IA, Noah (Taylor) Buckley of Sioux City, IA, Samuel Buckley of Sioux City, IA, Tia, Mali, and Liam Buckley all of Elm Springs, AR, Jaden Buckley of IA, Carter (McKenzie) Buckley of Lincoln, NE, and Brianna Buckley of IA; great-grandchildren Navy Buckley and Delilah Hibben; sister Nancy Spanjer of Lake View, IA; many other extended family members and friends.
Jerry was preceded in death by his wife, Stephanie Buckley (2017); parents Dana and Mildred Buckley; sister Bev Buckley; and infant sister Anne Buckley.
