| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Sunday, November 19, 2017 <<< Gerald Edward “Jerry” Browne, 84, passed away unexpectedly on Oct. 20, 2017 in Ely, Nevada. Jerry was born on Dec 31, 1932, graduated in Rupert, Idaho and was a long haul truck driver for 40 years. After retirement, the Brownes enjoyed fishing, camping and traveling the US, visiting most of the major national parks. They settled in the Lake Havasu City area for their winters and spent summers in Boise, Idaho. Jerry especially enjoyed the battlefield, monuments and history of their Civil War. They made a pilgrimage to Graceland, stood on the four corners, looked out on the Grand Canyon and descended into the Carlsbad Caverns of New Mexico. Even in retirement, it seems Jerry couldn’t stay off the road. In his later years, Jerry took up woodworking, making many fine gifts for friends and family. He loved attending the Boise Hawks games and visiting friends and family. He was an active member of the Eagles, Elks and the VFW. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Shirley, and children Miles, Bud, Sheryl, Amber, David, Stephanie, and Troy, 15 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter. A celebration of life is Nov. 25 at the Eagles Aerie at 11 a.m. Meats, cheese, and rolls will be furnished. Potluck salads or desserts are appreciated. |
