He is an awesome man. He will be missed greatly by his co-workers. My heart and prayers are with you. Connie Davis Lacey So sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I worked with him for some time at Center Partners and he was such a nice man. I remember he would make blankets for some of the girls who were expecting. I thought that was so sweet of him to do. My prayers go out to you during this difficult time. Rachel Carlson Jerry was a very sweet man. His gentle spirit and kind nature will be missed. Nancy Heyrend nancynaustin@gmail.com Jerry Pinson was a big part of my life at work (Center Partners for 5 years). He was always so happy. When I was having a bad day one time I remember we had the longest conversation and he told me the most beautiful things, he had a way to put a smile on my face. Jerry changed my life. I remember he tried to get me to date his son, Jonathan, and I even talked on the phone a few times, haha. Jerry told me he would love to have me as his daughter-in-law. Jerry was a wonderful person and he will always have a special place in my heart. There will never be anyone like him, he was one of a kind and very loved at work! We will miss you. Lynda Garcia Jerry was a very good man, had a kind big heart and always seemed to make me smile whenever I was having a bad day. Jerry was always there with a bright smile no matter how hard things were for him. Jerry, you will forever be in my thoughts and my heart. Rest In Peace, my friend. Christian S Holmquist I worked with Jerry for many months in the Triton Porting account at Center Partners. He was a good character, a good man, and I am glad that I met him and worked with him. He was a man who was always polite, and who exemplified the Biblical passage "If a man shall not work, neither shall he eat." The depth and strength of his work ethic were astounding, and I consider him a mentor, especially in that regard. I had little opportunity to know him outside of work, but I know him as a decent, caring man and I wish I'd had opportunity to work with and befriend him more than I did. My grief can only be a small candle compared to yours, but I know that this is a trying time, having buried family myself. I wish you well, and I will miss Jerry. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord make His Face to shine upon and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up His Countenance upon you, and give you His Peace. Amen Dale & Linda Shearer lindale49@gmail.com We just read Jerry's obituary. Diane, and family, we are sending our condolences to each of you. We've enjoyed knowing you both and miss having you as our neighbors and ward members. I particularly enjoyed the many visits and conversations with you and have grown to love you both. I was always interested in seeing Jerry's latest pictures of the children and grandchildren and could see his love and enjoyment of each one, as well as his love for you, Diane. I loved seeing his beautiful cross-stitching projects - and what a wonderful talent! I was always impressed with his loving nature and positive outlook on life even when he wasn't very well. I enjoyed his stories, and he always made me feel welcome and appreciated! I know he loved the Lord and had a wonderful testimony of Him. May you all keep his memory close to your hearts and feel comfort as you recall fond memories. He has blessed many people. We wished we would have known sooner so we could have visited with you all. I don't have a current phone number or address for you, Diane, but I would like to get in touch. My phone numbers are all the same - and we are in the phone book. We send much love and many prayers in your behalf. Love, Linda and Dale Amy Haeckel I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Jerry was definitely an angel on earth. He was always so kind and happy, doing whatever he could for everyone else. He will be missed greatly! My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time .
