It was a blessing from God to get a phone call from Jerry just hours before his passing. He was ready to be with Jesus ... and now he is! We'll miss our dear, Godly, multi-talented "brother," but have many happy memories of him. Mike and Verna Mickelson
Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Jerry was a great friend and mentor at Voltmaster/East Penn where I worked with him for several years.
In honor of his memory we will be donating to one of the causes he supported Wycliffe Associates ( Bible translators )
I have many memories spending my summers with my sister Janice and brother in law Jerry and all of my nieces and nephews that were more like cousins. We went on many adventures. I clearly remember prayer time at the end of the day. Jerry was a true man of God and spiritual leader of his family. His presence in my life was greatly needed after losing my own father. I always remember he was loving and patient and I don't remember him ever raising his voice.i wasn't the easiest kid to have around I am sure. But I always felt welcome and loved. I am so thankful for those memories.
As you grieve know that we are remembering your family in our thoughts and prayers - from the Abe Duerksen family
We have no words to express the loss, his memory will live on in us, until we meet again in heaven.
How we will miss Jerry! But we will get to see him in heaven!!!
So sorry for your loss
Jordan Archer
