Jerry grew up in Codell and graduated from Codell High School with the Class of 1965. He went on to attend Goodland Vo-Tech, where he studied auto body mechanics. Jerry proudly served his country in the U.S. Army and was a Vietnam Veteran. After his service, he worked as a carpenter for Schult Mobile Homes and spent much of his life working with his hands. He especially enjoyed woodworking, watching Westerns and science fiction, and going to country-western dances. Above all, he cherished time spent with his children and grandchildren.
Jerry is survived by his children, Dan (Sheila) Ledbetter of Russell, KS, Trina (Lester) Ledbetter of Alton, KS and Amy (Jason) Jackson of Stockton, KS; brothers, Bill (Shirley) Ledbetter of Sequim, WA and Clint (Carol) Ledbetter of Grand Lake, OK; three grandchildren: Sierra, Kaylee and Jade Jackson; and step-grandchild, Cassie Jackson.
He was preceded in death by his parents, James Ledbetter and Ruby Denniston; step-father, Percy Denniston; and his wife, Phyllis.
