Jerry was a wonderful brother. He loved his family unconditionally and he always listened with an open mind and heart.

He loved to play golf, spend time wih family and friends, and for the love of god and goddess fish!  I remember the times i got to spend with him grilling some kind of fish on the bbq with some grilled corn on the cob telling fish stories and jokes for days.

I, along with the rest of our family, will miss you greatly. May your days in the summerlands be peaceful and full of the love you so richly showered others with.

Until we see each other again, Blessed Be my wonderful brother!

Jerry was wonderful person. He was such a joy to be around. He loved his vodka with a hint of sweetened lime juice on Ice!! I will always remember that he loved his cocktails, and his JOKES.. They went hand n' hand together. Its funny, I spend so much time with him that his jokes became repetitive to me and all the new people would come over to visit, he would tell the same old jokes so I already knew what the punch line was going to be.-But still, I just sat and listened!

Jerry was kind, and patient. He was never quick to anger. He was like family to us. He was dating my mom. He loved her unconditionally. My kids, Markie, and Mason, really adored him! -and he adored them as well!! We all spent a lot of time together. Especially the last two years... They spent more time with Jerry then they did with my own father Markie loved Jerrys invisible ball trick! Jerry had the kids waiting in line for their next turn. It was so fun to watch how excited all the kids got when he did that trick!!

I have so many fond memories with Jerry. Christmas's, Holidays, Birthdays. The birth of my second son Mason, He helped me move into my apartment. He came over for dinners at my place, He came to babysit the boys with my mom etc...I also wanted to say that he LOVED his grandbaby Kinslee so much!!!He was always taking about something smart that she said, or something cute that she did, sang, danced, drew, etc. She was the true love of his life:) From the second that I met him, it was clear that she was very, very important to him. They were Best Friends!!

We truly are going to miss him. I feel so blessed to have gotten the chance to know Jerry and to be a part of his life. I know he is in a better place now, and every time the sun is out and shining down upon me, I will know that it is Jerry, there to say hello! I will feel comfort and know that he is smiling watching us and protecting everyone that he Loves. He is our Guardian Angel!

We Love you so much Jerry!! You have forever touched our lives...I will think about you often, and I will do my best to make sure that Markie and Mason know just how great you truly were. I will always remind them of you. I will miss randomly singing with you. You always had a new song stuck in your head. I love you G.G!! We will meet again someday. I will keep my promise to you and take good care of my Momma forever! :) LOVE YOU xoxoxoxoxo

Dan and I are grateful that we had the opportunity to meet you and spend time getting to know you.  Hugs and kisses to all the family and friends.

Lots and lots of good memories starting when you were a little kid at the Well Baby Clinic in Blanchard Mi. You were the cutest little boy and grew up to be a handsome man. Your ready smile and you never met a stranger attitude gladden the hearts of many.  Every one was your friend. You will be missed by many as the days pass. No one can fill the hole in the lives of those you left.

I'm heartbroken.  I've lost a very dear friend. 

Jerry thank you for calling to say good bye. That was a gift I will always cherish. 

Your now in a place where the dogwoods are always in bloom, the springers are bigger and you can keep the high finners. 

Keep those jokes somewhat clean up there. 

When I entertain the kids with your invisible ball, I'll tell them it's you that's tossing it. 

The rear port side seat on my boat will be forever yours. 

See you on the other side my friend.

While it has been many years since I've seen Jerry,  I'm sure he brightened the lives of so many people throughout his life.  Sincere condolences to all his family and friends.  To a good friend.  May God look after Jerry's special ones.

Sending our prayers to Susan and the girls. So sorry for your loss.

There is a huge whole in our world since you left.  Every time I hear a paper bag rustle I'll know you are watching.  See you when we get there.
Love Guy and Jeanne

Jerry.....Even though I live far away in another state, I can still feel the absence of you in this world.  I will remember all the laughter and fun that we shared with the Chaney Family.  I will remember your strength and kindness.  My heart is heavy.  You will be missed.  See you again My Friend.  Love to all of you.  Peggy Congie
