Gerald “Jerry” Denton, age 82 of Clare, passed away Friday, September 23, 2022 at MyMichigan Medical Center – Alma. Jerry was a Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great Grandpa, Brother, Uncle and Friend. He was born the son of Earl and Dorothy (Sprague) Denton on September 30, 1939 in Vernon Twp., Isabella County. He was united in marriage to Janet Ullom on June 5, 1959. Jerry loved his family and friends. He enjoyed Hunting, watching Little League games, CMU Football and Gunsmithing. Jerry could fix just about anything, have a conversation on any subject that was brought up and find humor in everyday life. He loved to tease; his family will miss that and so many other things they haven’t thought of yet. Love you always, goodbye for now.
