After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Jerry's body finally grew tired, although
his Spirit never did.
He left this world just before midnight on October 16th, 2025, surrounded by love and
memories of a life lived on his own terms.
Jerry was born on September 22nd, 1960, and grew up in Waddy, Kentucky.
He was a man known for his magnetic charm, stubborn strength, quick wit and the
hands of a true Craftsman. Jerry could build anything, and if something was broken,
Jerry wouldn't rest until it was fixed - whether it was a motor, a roof, or a friend's spirit.
Jerry was also a talented horseman. He spent many an hour breaking and training
horses, riding with friends and family, and his horse sense reputation was widespread.
He truly enjoyed introducing, teaching and mentoring young folks in the ways of
horsemanship and his love of the country life - dog running, hunting and fishing.
He lived hard. He loved deeply and stood by those he cared for with quiet, unwavering
loyalty.
All who’ve known him will remember his humor, grit and ability to make something out of
nothing.
He is survived by his Connecticut friends and family- including wife: Ann. Stepchildren:
Zack, Luke and Willow. And step granddaughter Clara.
As well as his Kentucky family- children: Joseph Robinson, Lauren Robinson and their
mother Karen Robinson. Grandchildren: Kyley, Aubri, Rayjon, and Keagan. Sister: Bonnie (Ronnie) Adams. Brothers: Dave (Sheila),
Carroll (Pat), and Harold (Faye), Several cousins and many friends who he loved like
family.
Of course, we can't forget his best friend Tuck the pup, who misses him fiercely.
All those who have known Jerry will never forget the impact he has had on their lives.
