Jerry Tschetter was born July 17, 1950, to Paul and Rachel (Hofer) Tschetter at Madison. He lived in Graceville, until as a young man he moved to Cloverleaf, where he worked as a farmer and the hog establishment.

Jerry loved music and was a very talented guitar player and singer. Many gathering at his home would find him "Picking the wildwood flowers" with friends. Jerry was a devout Hank Williams fan, he could sing and play most of his songs by ear! He also loved baseball and especially the Minnesota Twins.

What a memory Jerry had! You could ask him just about anything from the past and he could tell you what happened and a lot of times the day it happened!

Jerry had a kind and caring heart. He unselfishly took care of his aging Dad for many years at his home, until his Dad passed away. Jerry had a strong faith and had accepted Jesus as his Savior.

Grateful for having shared his life are two brothers, Marvin of Sioux Falls ,and Ray (Rose) Tschetter of Sioux Falls. Three sisters Julie (Rudy) Waldner of Iroquois, Lila (Moses) Waldner of Volga, Sara (Wayne) Waldner of Huron. Special Friends Bonnie and Henry Wipf. Two brother-in-laws, Mike Waldner and Mike Hofer; and two sister-in-laws, Dorothy and Rosa; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; five brothers, Val, Philip, Paul, Conrad, and Willie; two sisters, Tilly and Irene; one sister-in-law Emma; and four nephews.

Rest in Peace Jerry, we will miss you.
