Jerry graduated from Hayworth High School in 1971. On July 23, 1977, Jerry was married to the love of his life, Toby (Bolinger), and she survives. He worked at the Chrysler plant in Kokomo for 32 years before retiring in 2010. Jerry enjoyed collecting Hot Wheels cars, shopping at Harbor Freight, and walking through Walmart. More than anything, Jerry loved spending time with his grandchildren.
In addition to his wife, Toby, Jerry is survived by his sons, Bryan (Kendra) Mitchel of Lafayette, and Eric (Stephanie) Mitchel of Tennessee; daughter, Bridget (Robert) Mitchel of Kokomo; sister, Janet Mitchel of Fort Wayne; and nine grandchildren. Jerry will also be deeply missed by his dog, Marshmallow.
