Jerry was born October 2, 1943, in Ralls County, Missouri to Ezra Benn and Sylvia Jennings Benn.
He was married to the love of his life and best friend, Linda J. Jennings on May 3, 1986. She survives.
Other survivors include his two children from a previous marriage, Gary Benn of Frankford, Missouri, and Sherrie Noel (Frank) of Frankford, Missouri; three brothers, Charles Benn of St. Louis, Missouri, Gerald Benn of St. Louis, Missouri, and Gary Benn of Mexico, Missouri; one sister, Cathy Haden of Frankford, Missouri; six grandchildren, Hanna, Dylan, Dalton, Josh, Jeff, and Jena; six great grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; his fur babies, Sophie and Snickers; and also Ditto and Cooper from doggy daycare.
Jerry was preceded in death by his parents; and his two brothers, Carroll Benn, and Michael Benn.
Jerry began his work career as a brick mason laborer with Bleigh Construction of Hannibal and Rupp & Kinney of Quincy, later becoming a Brick Mason. In his earlier years, he laid brick for many homes in the Bowling Green area with Mayson Ogden and Hurley Staton. He was also a union bricklayer for 30 years. Jerry was a very well known and talented brick mason in the Hannibal area. Some would say "the best". Jerry has passed his talent down to several brick masons in the area that he taught the trade to. He along with his wife, Linda, were also co-owners of the former Sippi's Dance Club.
Jerry took pleasure in the outdoors. He enjoyed mowing, fishing on the Mississippi, and coon and deer hunting. Jerry was very caring and giving but never passed up the opportunity to be a jokester. He and his wife, Linda both had a special love for two stepping to old classic country music, often onlookers watched and admired them dancing together. The ladies always wanted Jerry to "teach them how to two step." In his younger years, Jerry was very active in managing the Frankford boys and girls Khoury league ball teams and coaching the boy's baseball teams. When he wasn't coaching, he enjoyed playing in the men's softball tournaments in the area. Most of all, Jerry cherished his time spent with his family and friends and will be deeply missed.
Jerry was Christian by faith.
