Rest in peace, Jerry. You were a wonderful person and a bright personality that is dearly missed.
My love and thoughts are with you and your family, Krista.
It's been years since I have seen Jerry since back when his son Caleb invited me and my brother to his house for a sleep over, but even so I will never forget the fun we had going up and being a part of Jerry's life. You will be missed and are always in my prayers.
I am greatly saddened to hear of the world's loss of Jerry's smile and laugh. It has been a long time since I've been able to see or hear that. Jerry was a good friend during our college years. I enjoyed getting to see him again on my rare visits to the Lab to see my Mother. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Buck family, Jerry was a real pleasure to know & work with, he touched many lives with his sweet nature & his funny pranks. May you trust God for strength in your darkest hours, know that Jerry would want you to live your lives & go each day as he would have you do if he was still here on this earth. May you all find peace & comfort knowing that you will see him again in a glorified body. May God Bless & keep you.
Krista, I'm so, so sorry for your loss! It's been a long time since you and I have talked but know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!
Hugs from home my sweet friend. So sorry for your loss. I know Heaven was increased greatly with his presence. I pray you feel the Holy Spirits comfort in the days ahead. Much love to you and your combined family. May peace & comfort find it's way to you! I love you so much!!

I havent seen Jerry Buck or Caleb Buck in years since elementary school,and a little of middle school but I've never forgotten the friendship we shared or the kindness that Jerry had shared with me and my brother. You will be deeply missed.
You will be missed, Friend.

As Caleb was like my son also. Rest in Peace now Jerry and we will see you one day soon I hope.You raised your son to be a wonderful young man. You and your family will continue to always be in my prayers. We love you Jerry and Caleb and Kati and Justin. Love always, Pam Harris and Matt Dobbs and Taylor Dobbs

Krista, I am so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. My prayers are with you and your family. Love you!!!!
Krista, I just made the connection. Kati Squires is one of my very best friends and she has shared Jerry's journey. I have prayed for Caleb and all of you not even realizing the connection. After reading the obituary, I recognized the girls' name and it all made sense. Rob and I will continue to hold you guys in our prayers. Praying for peace. Rob and Leah
I am so very sorry for your loss.
Although I hadn't seen Jerry for several years, he was one of my classmates of the class of 1978, Sheridan High School, and we attended the same church (Lost Creek). He was always a nice young man. Praying for the family and friends that God wraps His arms around all of you and comfort you as only He can do. I lost my oldest daughter on 09/08/2014 at the young age of 28 in a car accident on Hwy 7 near Bismarck, AR. I hate cancer; it took my mother away when I was barely 11 years old. Love and hugs to all of you and more importantly prayers.
So sorry for your loss.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers during the days that come. May God comfort you as only He can.
