He graduated from Jackson High School in 1952 and married his high school sweetheart, Rosemary Williams. They moved to Toledo, Ohio and started a family. Quickly outgrowing their small apartment, they bought a house in Lambertville, MI. When their youngest was 7, they built a house in Petersburg, MI. They lived there until moving to Prudenville, MI. when Jerry retired in 1996. He enjoyed a long, wonderful career as a Local 8 Journeyman Electrician in Toledo, Ohio. Jerry’s heart belonged to Northern Michigan, and retiring there for 27 years was a dream come true. When reflecting on his life, he often said he had a great life with no regrets.

He enjoyed the outdoors and did his fair share of fishing, boating, and deer hunting, but snowmobiling was his favorite hobby. Jerry loved to drive around just for the scenic fun of it. Looking back on visiting waterfalls and other natural landmarks in Northern Michigan always made him smile. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Rosemary H. Hunt, and their sons Jeffery M. Hunt and Andrew Hunt. Jerry is survived by his children Cindy (Bill) Wertz, Julie Hunt, and Dennis (Adrienn) Hunt, grandchildren Neil (Emily) Wertz, Michael Wertz, Madalyn Hunt, and Morgan Hunt, 4 great grandchildren and sister, Cathy Young.
