Gerard F. Krack

Gerard Frederick Krack of Metairie, Louisiana, passed away on April 1, 2020. Jerry was born in Brooklyn, New York, on March 10, 1953 to the late August D. Krack II and Janet Hefter Krack who survives him.

Jerry also leaves behind to cherish his memory his wife of 38 years, Joe Dean Brown Krack; her daughter, Debra Kreeger (son-in-law John); siblings Muriel K. Kroll (John), Jeannette K. Vetrano, Virginia K. LaMonica (Robert), and Marie K. Arsenault (Harry); Jerry was predeceased by brother, August D. Krack III (Denise). Also surviving Jerry is a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, friends, neighbors and customers. Jerry will be sorely missed by all especially his furbaby, Macy.

For over 30 years, Jerry was the owner-operator of JFK Pest Control and he continued to provide emergency service just weeks before his death. He was a dedicated member of St. Ann Church, Metairie, LA, serving as an usher the past several years. His passions included gardening, travel, chess and cheering for his favorite football teams. In his younger days, Jerry left Brooklyn and set out to see the Country, ultimately settling down in the greater New Orleans area where he met his wife, Joe Dean. Earlier in their life together, they were avid disco dancers, Mardi Gras krewe members and travelers who hiked and camped in many locations including the Grand Canyon. As a youth, Jerry was a very proud member of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP).

Due to our Country's unfortunate state of affairs with the COVID 19, services will be privately held. A memorial service celebrating his life will be held when we can safely gather.
