He was united in marriage to Rachel Davidson on January 12, 2023 in Clinton, Iowa.

Jerry was an entrepreneur who started and operated many area businesses including Back Shop Pizza; where many families enjoyed delicious food and electronic games for the kids.

Las Vegas was Jerry's second home and he just concluded a trip there just two weeks ago - he was a natural when it came to gambling. He also enjoyed traveling - anywhere - with friends and family. He loved classic cars and was a proficient auto body and engine guy. When it was time to relax with friends or family, he enjoyed drinking a few Blackberry Brandies. Although Jerry was a proficient business man, he truly had a generous soul for anyone in need. He was a wonderful husband, father, brother and friend and will be incredibly missed by those who knew him.

Jerry is survived by his wife - Rachel of Clinton; 3 children - Paige, Alivia and Braden all of Clinton; two brothers - James (Tracey) Irvine and Jack (Jennifer) Irvine both of Clinton; one sister Cindy Clancy-Fee of DeWitt; one nephew - Cash Irvine and two nieces - Lexi Clancy and Marissa Fee and a special uncle - "UB" (Bob Witkowski) of Mount Carroll; with many cousins and numerous friends.
