Jerry Don Cantrell, 53, was born February 3, 1972, in Oklahoma City and passed away on August 22nd, 2025. He is preceded in death by his mother, Shirley Cantrell. He is survived by his father, Garrian Cantrell, brothers, Tim Cantrell, Joe Cantrell and wife Danielle Cantrell, aunt Janice McClaflin, cousins Jay McClaflin and Ronna Spitz, along with his neices and nephews, Audrey Oaks and husband Kevin Oaks, Markus Cantrell and wife Brittany Cantrell, Alex Cantrell, Lukus Cantrell, Tahner Martin, Chris Cantrell and wife Stephanie Cantrell, and Stephanie Killingsworth and husband Daniel Killingsworth, as well as great neices and nephews Haylie, Zackery, Emily, Gracelynn, Damien, Ayla, Tyler, and Andrew.

At a young age, Jerry got his start at Mengers 4WD, which led to his lifelong love of off-roading and the off-road community. He opened his business, Custom Off Road Equipment, in 2001. Jerry's leadership, wisdom, and generous spirit will be deeply missed at the successful company he built and devoted his life to. His honest heart and steady presence left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. Jerry was not only a respected businessman but a loving family member and loyal friend - always ready to lend a hand or offer guidance when it was needed most.

Memorial service details will be shared in the near future. The family appreciates your love, support, and patience during this difficult time.
