Jerry was also a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones Investments and Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. Jerry was also a pilot in his earlier years. Jerry was successful at everything he did. He strove for perfection. Jerry enjoyed spending time on his daughter and son-in-law’s ranch near Mud Butte, SD. In 2012, Jerry and Julie moved to Aberdeen, where he continued to reside until the time of his death.
Jerry was a member of the National Rifle Association. He was an avid hunter and fisherman who loved the outdoors. In his spare time, Jerry also enjoyed reading and watching old Western movies. Above all, Jerry loved every minute spent with his family, especially his grandchildren, as well as his “little buddy” dog, Dudley and his service dog, Orion. Jerry took an active role in his children’s lives. In their younger years, Jerry acted as his daughter’s softball coach and attended all of his children’s sporting activities. Jerry made sure outdoor activities were a part of family life.
Jerry was preceded in death by his grandparents: Jerome and Regina Utecht and Charles and Gwen Judge; and one great-nephew, James Thomas Coleman.
