He was a wonderful man, who never knew a stranger.. Had several meals at his house with his lovely wife Kathy.. I can not even imagine he is gone.. The world is a better place for his being here, and is now worse off that he is gone.
I hope someone is close enough to Kathy to see if she needs anything at all... She has to be devastated.
RIP my friend... I will miss you terribly.

Virtual Campfire / My Turn. Need Your Prayers
« on: December 10, 2013, 06:42:58 AM »
I have been slowly going down hill. Haven't hunted for deer or turkeys for the past two years. Been going to doctors in Hood River, paying big prices, but getting nothing in return. Got tired of it and went to a local doc in Goldendale. He is getting things done, but it may be too late. I was sent to the breathing clinic here in Goldendale, at the hospital. The gal that gave me the tests came into waiting room and put one of those oxygen things on my finger. It read 95 as it always does. We had walked about 30 feet and I was huffing and puffing, and she checked the thing again. All she said was,"You need oxygen. So here I sit today on oxy 24/7. Right now it looks like COPD. Had one of the high class clowns would have found this a few years ago, it would not be so bad. I am 74, so things are bound to happen. I have not smoked since 1980. Throw them away people. Will keep you posted.
Jerbear

Very sad deal...Thoughts and prayers out to his wife and family. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I could tell by his posts on here that he was one of the great ones.:yeah:
RIP Jerbear.
I had sent him a PM after his intial post telling him that hopefully hearing of his condition worried the rest of us enough to be more proactive in our health. Remember guys he said to quit smoking

R.I.P Jerbear
We've never met, but your profile speaks of an amazing person with a lifelong passion for Hunting.
I especially like your very first post on Hunt-Wa:
on: March 03, 2007, 10:17:07 AM »
For all you turkey hunters out there, greetings. My name is Jerry Wilson, and my back yard joins the 14,000 acre Klickitat Wildlife Area. I am 68 years young and live for turkey hunting. The turkeys have had excellent winter survival this year. As my wife and I drive the road of the wild life area at least twice a week, we are seeing huge flocks of turkeys. Lots of jakes and a lot of long beards.
There are camping areas available in the wildlife area. You are allowed two turkeys in this area.
Contact me for any other information.

Jerry and Cathy always made time when I would stop by, and would often make me stay for dinner. I camped out in the spare bed a few times when hunting in the area, Jerry insisted.
I feel a deep loss, and such sadness for Cathy, Jerry was her ROCK !
Cathy, I pray for your comfort.
I have lost their number due to phone getting soaked, if someone can pass their number on I would appreciate it.
God speed my Brother !

I have known Jerry for years from originally making contact on this site. What a great man. He wanted nothing more in life than to see others enjoy the Klick like he did. Wanted others to score a tom. Wanted others to get a deer. I remember the first time coming over to visit. Then, each and every time I was anywhere near his home, it was time to go see what was going on. Over the years, he and his wife Cathy took a liking to my kids and Jerry took us all over the countryside, just two years ago trying to put my kids on a bird. He fell in love with my box call, so I mailed him a new one for him to mess with. I spoke to Cathy and Jerry a few months back and was looking forward to this spring to get out with him again. He really wanted to get my kids out as I have been dealing with my cancer.
Cathy, if you read this, you already know what a great guy Jerry was. He set such a great example for us all. A great legacy he has left behind. He touched so many folks. He will be so missed. You know we all love you too. Prayers from my family in this difficult time.
Rest in peace Jerry.
Kevin, Kathi, Reece and Allison.

Jerry was a great man, a man of honesty, integrity, generosity, and love for his wife Cathy. He and Cathy always treated me like a family member and for that I'm eternally grateful. I will miss Jerry very much. We spoke every few weeks and to not hear his gruff voice, his gentle spirit, his laugh cuts a big hole in my heart. "Jerry, I trust you are in a very special place now, one that allows you to walk high above Soda Springs, carry your shotgun, make those subtle turkey calls. I hope a big Tom walkes into your path. I only wish I could be there to cook an amazing turkey dinner for you. We will all miss you."

I got a kick out of the name he gave to the turkeys that would come by his place looking for hand-outs: He called them "Democrats". :chuckle:
:chuckle: :chuckle: Now that's funny! I'm sorry I never got a chance to meet him, he sounds like a great person. RIP my hunting brother and god bless your family.

Many of you have asked me about a service for Jerry. As per his wishes, there will be a service in April of 2014(This coming spring) What a perfect time to come together and honor such a man. Do any of you know what happens in the Spring? Turkey Hunting! But even greater than that, Spring is reminiscent of "new life", and that is what Jerry is experiencing today as we remember him.
As time grows closer to April and plans begin to come together. I will be posting all the details for anyone who would like to be there.
Cathie sends her love and gratitude to each of you.

Jerry was number 20 here at huntwa, joining March 3rd 2007. He was here from the ground roots of this place, and as previously posted, his first post was a good indicator of the type of guy he was. Bless him and his family. His wisdom will be missed but not forgotten. As one of our most Senior members, I can tell you he was a Sage among men.
Good stuff, Doug. I just went and looked. Member #20...wow.

First is Jerbear getting ready to call in a tom to my kids... (didn't work :chuckle: )
Second is a pic Jerry took of us on the youth hunt he was taking us on. He is going to be missed for sure. I was thinking of him today....hence the pics.....
He set a great example for me.
