Jerry Douglas Galemore passed away peacefully at his home in Delta, Colorado, on June 11, 2026, just one day shy of his 85th birthday.

After retirement, Jerry relocated to Delta, Colorado, where he enjoyed working on his property alongside his best friend, Tommy.

Jerry treasured time with his family. He traveled to spend time with his children and grandchildren, especially enjoying visits to Kentucky Lake, where he spent many summers with his parents and siblings boating and water skiing.
