Jerry owned his own cab company and thoroughly enjoyed driving people to their destinations. He enjoyed listening to Rap and Hip Hop music. Most of all he loved spending time with his children. He was a hard worker and would help neighbors, friends and family any way he could and enjoyed making them laugh. Jerry’s favorite saying was, “Groovy Baby.” Rather than saying goodbye he would say, “Ta Ta for now.” Funeral services will be held at 11 am on Wednesday, February 8, 2023 at Brookside Christian Reformed Church, 3600 Kalamazoo Ave. SE, Grand Rapids, with Pastor Paul DeVries officiating.
