Gerald Anthony Jagacki

Gerald was born on October 14, 1943, in Detroit, Michigan, to Anthony and Blondyne Jagacki. He proudly served his country in the United States Army, carrying the values of honor and dedication throughout his life.

An entrepreneur at heart, Gerald founded and owned A & D Plastics, where his hard work, determination, and commitment to excellence helped build a successful business. He took great pride in his work and the relationships he formed throughout his career.

In 1995, Gerald married his wife, Marilynne. Together, they blended their families and built a life centered on love, laughter, and treasured memories. Family was always at the center of Gerald's life, and he enjoyed every opportunity to spend time with those he loved.

Gerald found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved fishing, reading, and taking trips to Las Vegas. A devoted Detroit sports fan, he especially enjoyed cheering on the Detroit Lions through every season. Above all, he cherished the time he spent with his family, creating memories that will be treasured for generations.

Gerald leaves behind his beloved wife, Marilynne; his children, Jason, Jeff (Karissa), Tracey (Dean), and Michael; and his six cherished grandchildren, Adam, Grant, Willard, Lucca, Zach, and Ellie. He also leaves behind his sister, Louise, many extended family members, and friends who will miss his kindness, sense of humor, and steadfast presence. Gerald’s sister, Judy, preceded him in death.

In accordance with Gerald's wishes, cremation has taken place. A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at a later date.

Memorial contributions in Gerald's honor may be made to the ALS Foundation.

Gerald will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
