Jerry and Jeanette built their home in Prior Lake where they raised a family together until Jeanette’s passing.

Jerry worked alongside his father running the B&D Bar in Prior Lake, as well as being an owner operator with the Prior Lake Bus Association. Jerry also worked with Klingberg Excavating.
Jerry lived the majority of his life in Prior Lake surrounding himself with his family and friends but also enjoyed spending time at the family cabin in Vergas, MN. His smile, wit, and laugh will never be forgotten. His kindness, generosity, and loving spirit will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
