Publish in a newspaper
Jerry was born on August 20th, 1945 to Climmie and Alvin Willbanks in Blooming Rose, Missouri. After working at Fort Leonard Wood, he would move to St. Louis and started a long career at Defense Mapping Agency from which he retired to see after his grandchildren and farm.
Jerry loved his family and had many hobbies. He enjoyed his Harley Davidson motorcycle as well as buying and selling automobiles. He loved to attend auctions of all kinds and most of all loved to see his grandbabies grow. He was a charismatic man who did not know a stranger. Jerry loved life and let everybody know it.
Jerry was predeceased by his parents; brothers, Lavern and John Willbanks; his sister Lauvell Crews; son, Steffan Willbanks, and daughter, Katherine Willbanks.
Jerry is survived by two sons, Terry and Greg Willbanks; brothers, Troy Willbanks, Coy Willbanks; sisters, Lura Wingenbach, Patsy Grace and Kathy Sharp; his grandchildren, Chance, Chris, Cara, Ella and Hazel; and great grandchild, Chase; as well as a large extended family.
