Jerry was a loving husband, father, grandpa, and great-grandpa. He built two successful businesses AAMCO transmissions and currently Alloy Wheel Repair Specialist of Tucson, but his greatest success was always his family. He was our rock — the steady, positive light that guided us - and a source of humor that sent us into hysterics every single day.

His endless love and compassion for family and friends is something we will carry with us forever.

He loved his wife with everything he had and showed all of us what true love really looks like. He cherished being actively involved in his family's lives and proudly coached his son's soccer teams for many years.

He is survived by his wife, Karen; his children Barbett (Troy), Nancy (Wayne), and Ken; his sister, Linda (Ed); his grandchildren Taryn (Robert) Brandon, Briana (Stephen), Tyler (Diana), Jorden, Kaden, and Ben; and his

great-grandchildren Logan, Roryn, Brynn, Raya, Lukas, Kaenyn, and Theo; along with nieces, nephews and cousins.
