Jerome Ahlquist Obituary
Jerry was born to Leonard and Carol Elaine (Staflin) Ahlquist on July 14, 1948 in Boone, Iowa. He was baptized in Augustana Lutheran Church in Boone and confirmed at Memorial Lutheran Church in Nevada. He graduated from Nevada Community High School in 1966. Jerry served his country in the United States Army and was stationed in Fort Leonardwood, Missouri and Germany. After his time in the service he lived in Alexandria, Minnesota and most recently in Nevada.
Jerry loved the outdoors, and was happiest when he was fishing or hunting. He loved to tell stories about the big one that got away, or the trophies he caught. He enjoyed being a guide for the Minnesota Governor's Open Fishing tournament as well as other tournaments throughout the state. Jerry owned a sporting goods store in Alexandria, Minnesota and owned the Boat Works in Ankeny before his illness.
Jerry was married to Becky Bugler on February 1, 1974 and to this union three daughters were born.
Jerry will be missed by his family. They include Leonard and Elaine Ahlquist of Nevada; his sisters, Barbara (Gerald) McDaniel of Nevada and Cheryl (Duilio) Mordini of Madrid; his daughters, Kelly (Clint) Snider and granddaughters Kaitlin and Alexis of Chippawa Falls, Wisconsin, Angela Ahlquist of Atlanta, Georgia, and Kathryn Ahlquist of Des Moines; along with several nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles.
He was predeceased by his grandparents.
The body was cremated. Memorial services will be 1:00 P.M. on Friday, December 29, 2006 at the Memorial Lutheran Church in Nevada with Pastor Myron Herzberg officiating. Internment will be held at the Nevada Municipal Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the Memorial Lutheran Church in Nevada.
