On May 18, 2002, Jerry was united in marriage with Gail Arndt. Jerry worked in numerous locations over his working career, but most recently had worked for Superior Concrete in Mankato from 2000-2006 before starting his own business, Horton’s Septic in Medford, Wisconsin. Besides his work, Jerry had a variety of hobbies and passions he enjoyed. He was an avid outdoorsman his entire life. He enjoyed the thrill of hunting, fishing, and riding his four-wheelers and dirt bikes with his son Mason. He also dearly enjoyed the excitement of simply hitting the road on his bike and going for a good ride. What he loved most was being around his family and spending time with his nieces and nephews as well. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him, but memories of Jerry will stay in their hearts forever.
