Jerry Genther, age 80, passed away at home while surrounded by his family and his dog, Katie, on Sunday, July 18, 2021.

Jerry had a love for everything outdoors including hunting, trapping, and spending time at the cabin in Leota, Michigan. He enjoyed gun-smithing, rebuilding guns, going to shows, and collecting his own. In his younger years, he raced motorcycles including Triumphs and Nortons, which he later traded in for his Harley Davidson “Fat-Boy." He loved his family, especially his wife, Judy and their dog, Katie. Most importantly, Jerry had a love for Christ, which was reflected in how he lived.
