Jerry will be lovingly remembered by his sister Sara Martin; son, Col (R) M. Troy Ratliff; daughter, Marsha Meininger; grandchildren, Angela, Matt, Sam, Amanda, Madeline, Zach and Connor; great-grandchildren, Elijah and Jayce.
He is now resting peacefully with his wife, Edna and daughter, Lisa. Veteran of the U.S. Navy and over 20 years at Jefferson Jr High, he touched thousands of lives in the community. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, loved watching a Kentucky game and reading a good book with a cold Guinness.
He will be deeply missed but always in our hearts.
