It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gerald Gene Burd. He was called to heaven on Tuesday, February 22, 2022. His friends and family knew him as Jerry. Jerry spent his last night laughing and enjoying his time with his partner-in-crime, Trisha Cox.
Jerry was born in Eyota, Minnesota, on June 27, 1935, to parents Gilbert and Marie Burd. Jerry was one of six children: sisters, Elenor, Viviane, Marion, Jan, Beth, Cindy, and one brother, Russell. They, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, all loved him for his youthful and fun-loving attitude. Jerry started a family with Marlene (Distad) Burd, to whom he was married for over 30 years.
Jerry loved to camp, fish, play guitar and harmonica, and dance the night away.
He is survived by his two daughters, Pamela Sell (son-in-law John F. Sell of Cañon City, CO) and Cheri LaForge; and his grandchildren, Jennifer Sell of Cañon City, CO, and Carrie LaForge and Gerald LaForge of Long Beach, CA.
Dad, you will be missed, and we all love you so much. Tears and heartache are with us all, but you are with the angels.
As Jerry would say, “Uffda!”
