He was born in Norwalk, Ohio, the youngest son of Gerald Lee and Wilda Pearl (Walker) Johns.
He grew up in Wakeman, Ohio and attended the Western Reserve School System in Collins, Ohio. He attended college in Maryland, taught computer classes at Hagerstown Community College and worked as a Network Engineer for Serco in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
He was a Christian of deep faith, a loving and immensely devoted father and brother, with a wonderful sense of humor and a loving family who will miss him terribly. Wise beyond his years, Jerry was a source of common-sense advice for family and friends. He always knew the right thing to say in any given moment.
An avid outdoorsman, he loved hunting, fishing, and camping, a passion which he shared with his son, Connor. He is survived by son Connor and daughters Cassandra Brill and Morgan Chrobot, his very supportive former wife Kandy Rowzie, and three grandchildren. He is also survived by brothers Rex (Gail) Johns, and Grant Johns, and sisters Marie (Richard) Washburn, Paula (Winfield) Dempsey, Gail Cummings, and Julie (Hank Dorochovich) Johns, as well as many nieces and nephews who meant so much to him and vice versa.
He was preceded in death by his parents and son Jordan Chrobot.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Grace Foundation, which provides funding for hospice care.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, a memorial service will be held at a later time.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the Grandle Funeral Home in Broadway.
