Jerry Edward Doehrer, 75, of Baroda succumbed to cancer in the comfort of his own home surrounded by his family on Oct. 28, 2022.
Jerry was born June 4, 1947, to the late Albert and Frances (Wessels) Doehrer.
He graduated from Galien High School in 1965 and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1966. He served proudly in the U.S. Marine Corps for seven years reaching rank of sergeant. He was a member of the American Legion Post 344 for 54 years.
On July 16, 1982, he married the love of his life, Rebecca Richter in Sodus.
Jerry loved fishing, boating, and spending time with his grandchildren. He worked at Clark Equipment for 18 years until they closed. He then opened S&D Service Center in Galien with his best friend, closing when his friend passed. He then went to work for Gast Manufacturing as a CNC operator until he retired after 30 years.
Jerry is survived by his wife, Rebecca, of 40 years; son, Jerry (Judy) Doehrer; daughters: Lisa (Steve) Simon, Robin Freeman and Regina Goins; 11 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren with two more on the way. Jerry was a loving father, husband, grandfather, and friend to everyone.

A special thank you to Erin at Caring Circle of Spectrum Health Lakeland in St. Joseph for her loving care and support during his final days.
