Cherished father of Skylar and Summer and companion to Goldie, Jerry leaves behind his loving
wife of 14 years, Marsha, as well as many family and friends. He is fondly remembered for his
generosity and determination, and his larger-than-life persona and trademark stubbornness will
not be forgotten.
A celebration of his life will be held at Innisfil Community Church on Saturday, January 24th at 11am with visitation beginning at 10am.

Posted on: Thursday, January 22, 2015Words can not express how deeply sorry we all are for this sudden loss. Skylar and Summer, you had an amazing daddy who was so very proud of you and loved you so much. Marsha, we love you all and will be holding you close in our hearts. We hope that the happy memories the 3 of you hold of Jerry will be a guiding light through the grief.
Love you always,
Jake, Terri, Damian and Emma

Posted on: Thursday, January 22, 2015When a man and his wife have a baby that is one of the most special times in their lives. For the Daddy it is even more special when that first baby is a girl. Marsha is my first born child. As his baby girl begins to grow I don’t think any father looks ahead to the day he will lose her to another man. but eventually in most cases that happens. Fourteen years ago my baby girl had become a young strong determined woman and she “found someone” It took me a while to get used to Jerry but as time went on I accepted that he was a pretty good guy. He had to be. He had my daughter’s heart. I am going to miss you Jerry more than you will know. Thank you for everything you did to make Marsha happy and thank you for giving me two WONDERFUL WONDERFUL grandchildren. I plan on being around as long as I can so anytime they need me I will be there. I also plan on reminding them from time to time how VERY SPECIAL their father IS.

Posted on: Thursday, January 22, 2015I was very shocked to hear of the sad news. I had met Jerry only a few times through Innisfil Baseball, but heard many times how much he loved the kids and that he dedicated so much of his time as an Assistant Coach. May you find comfort in your family, friends and faith during this difficult time.

Posted on: Tuesday, January 27, 2015I met Jerry in 2006 while working at Stacey Electric , we became great friends, he was a very good electrician and very hard worker. He was very interested in learning everything about what their was to know about traffic signals and he didn’t stop until he did know as much as possible with this specialty type of work as an electrician. We all have to work together as a family to help Marsha, Skylar& Summer to give them strength from now and ongoing days, months and years. This is what Loving Family and Friends Do. Love you always as a True Friend Jerry, May You Rest in Peace Brother Jerry Gagne.
