He spent his life in the Montrose area, graduating from Montrose High School in 1980. After completing his education, he began a life-long career in agriculture, caring for his family’s Century Farm.
Jerry also worked for 27 years at the MO-KAN sale barn, where he was proud to be the longest currently tenured employee. His MO-KAN “family” were very special to him.
In addition, Jerry served on the Montrose Volunteer Fire Department for over 24 years, where he enjoyed the comradery with his many friends on the department and members of the community. He dearly loved doing word puzzles and was particularly good at doing mathematical calculations in his head. Jerry was an avid local and national sports fan, especially loyal to the Kansas City Chiefs, Royals, and Montrose Blue Jays. Apart from these things, he was a hard worker, who always helped anyone in need, and he enjoyed spending time with his family. Jerry will be deeply missed by his many family and friends.
He is preceded in death by his father, Ralph Jurgensmeyer.
