Jerry was a graduate of Ridgemont High School. He was a member of the Central Church of Christ in Kenton.

Jerry was a jack of all trades. He was a co-owner with his daughter, Shannon, of Bower Renovations for many years. He could fix anything that needed to be fixed.

He was an avid lover of trains and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Jerry loved spending time with family and friends and attending his grandchildren’s events. He will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him.
