May you rest in peace, Jerry.
This past Saturday, March 29, 2008, Jerry and Karen were traveling north on I-5 where inclement weather caused their vehicle to lose control. Their vehicle subsequently crossed the median and was hit by two other vehicles. Jerry was killed instantly and Karen sustained multiple injuries.

Life won't be the same without Jer. He always had a smile on his face and kind words to say. Megan looks so much like her father, that chin and those eyes. She does however have Karen's personality and that excessive laundry disease!
We had the opportunity to spend last Easter with Karen and Jerry at their house in Puyallup where Jerry was in the middle of brewing his own beer. He loved good beer and the newspaper. He was always concerned about people and wanted to know how life was treating everyone. Karen is lucky to have a wonderful husband and a caring soul to spend her days with. Jerry was a wonderful grandfather and always tended to the grandkids every need. I can still picture him spending hours outside pushing Makayla on the swing or holding Garrett in his lap and reading him a story.
When Jeff and Megan moved into the house in Sumner a few months back, Jer helped all day with organizing and moving. I could see on his face how proud he was of everyone and the team effort it took. If only we had more people left on earth that were more like him. Karen, I am so sorry for your loss, we lost a tremendous man and someone I know you will always be proud of. I will truly miss him and I looked up to him as a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. Family will not be the same without him.
