Lisa and family, it was a true blessing to have known and worked with Jerry. He was always so much fun and always had a smile on his face. I always remember him going above and beyond to help any of us on the floor. My thoughts and prayers go out to y'all during this most difficult time.

We were so truly saddened to hear about Jerry and we hope you find will comfort in the many happy memories that will live forever in your heart. I worked alongside Jerry for almost 9 years at the South Plains Kidney Disease Center and I must say, I am a better person for having know Jerry and for the impact he made in my nursing career and in my life. He will always be remembered with fondness, appreciation and gratitude. Our love and prayers continue to be with Jerry's family and friends as we mourn the loss of a great friend. May they feel the love of many surrounding them with love and lifting them up in our prayers. Love, Ken & Debbie Campbell

My deepest condolences to Jerry's family and friends. I admired Jerry so very much. I'd like to share the email I wrote in response to finding out about Jerry's passing, because I don't know if I could express my feelings any better than I did that day. Heaven sure got one of the greats."When I met Jerry, and since getting to know him, he impressed upon me that he had such a wealth of life experiences, good and bad. And somehow those were a foundation for the warmth, grace and always charming mischievous wit that came so naturally to him. He had such a calming presence, and had so much to teach.....dialysis was only a fraction of the valuable things Jerry had to offer. I was always just naturally drawn to Jerry and his kind spirit and his wisdom. Selfishly, I sure wish I had more time to soak up everything that was Jerry. It is painfully difficult to come to terms that our friend is gone from us. I feel devastated, as I know we all do. I sure will miss Jerry. My prayers for our team, Jerry’s family and friends, and all of those whose lives Jerry has touched."

I was blessed enough to be Jerry's younger cousin!! My true first memories of Jerry begin about the time I was 15 to 16 at gatherings at Lon and Vivian's, Harlod and Inez's or The Old Fart and Aunt Z's house to play cards and have fish fries or at Harlod and Inez's cabin at White River for the end of summer family reunion...since then our bond as cousins grew into an awesome friendship...I remember one of the girls had a soccer game or something the day of mine and my now ex-husbands wedding and it was storming and I remember walking down the aisle and seeing Jerry's smiling face beaming back at me with such happiness...and I remember the day of my son's (who was only 7 1/2 weeks old) funeral I saw such pain grief and sadness in his eyes and not just for me but in a way he felt my loss too...Jerry always had the biggest hugs and an ear to listen and amazing advice that usually got me back on track...Lisa, Amber, Ashley, Kay, Ronnie, Pam, Mike, Barry and your families I just want you to know that if we could be there tomorrow we would...know that OUR ENTIRE FAMILY STANDS WITH YOU THROUGH THIS HORRIBLE LOSS IN OUR FAMILY...All of our love and prayers are being sent to y'all

Lisa & family, my deepest condolences to your family. We were shocked to learn of Jerry's passing last night. I'm sorry we missed the visitation. We've been out of town. My memories of Jerry go back as far as high school up to recently at church. Jerry was a great guy and always made everyone feel welcome. We doubt he ever met a stranger. We will miss seeing him in the hallways at church and at class reunions. Our prayer is that God gives you all the memories of Jerry, just at the right time you need them. So sorry for your loss. Please let us know if we can do anything for you. Kerry Gilmore

Jerry was such a big part of our Fresenius family. I will never forget him as long as I live. He left his mark on me in so many positive ways. One thing I’ll remember more than anything is how much he loved his family. That was a constant in every conversation I had with Jerry! So thankful I got to know Jerry. I’ll miss him everyday. My prayers go out to his wife, children and grand children. I hope you all know how much Joy he bought into so many peoples lives!! God Bless you all!

Jerry was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him! His Christian witness in our Sunday school class will always be remembered, his mischievous humor, the way he cared for others and his insane ability to play rock ‘n roll name that tune! Dirk and I loved him and will keep Lisa, Amber, Joe, Ashley and Sadie in our prayers.
