A jewelry legend with over 60 years of experience, Jerry's impressive work ethic and
passion for his craft made him a standout in the industry. Known for his sharp dressing

and hardworking individual, he embraced life's challenges with a positive attitude,
always maintaining a friendly demeanor. His charisma and sociable nature meant he
never knew a stranger.
In addition to his professional success, Jerry found joy in simple pleasures. An
impeccable dresser, his love for driving and penchant for self-improvement through
listening to motivational speakers showcased his vibrant and dynamic personality.

Stephenson (Mark); grandchildren Jennifer Nacke, Dustin Hill (Ashley), Bridget Hill,
Jacqueline Bacon (Kevin), Samantha Fenzel, Isabella Fenzel, Joseph Fenzel, Lauren

Parr, and the mother of his children, Mary Jo Carland.
