Obituary of Gerald Jerry Moot

Moot, Gerald “Jerry” 

Age 78, of Eden Prairie, MN. Passed away peacefully on July 6, 2021. Jerry owned Sunnyside Gardens till he retired in 2000. He took great pride in his work and was willing to teach anyone wanting to learn the art of growing. Jerry was a humble man who loved the simple things in life; nature, traveling, family vacations to Disney World, dogs, wood working, all sports, fishing, hunting and growing plants. He loved to share and teach all who wanted to learn. Jerry was a practical joker who made everyone he met feel welcome and included. Although dementia finally took him, he was able to give a hug and say I love you till the end. His number 1 aim was to love and protect his family. He is preceded in death by his parents, Grace and Frank and brother, Donald. Jerry is survived by his loving wife, Nancy; children, Tim (Dianna) Moot, Carolyn Walstein, Kevin (Lee) Bravestone, Gretchen (Jim) Keel and Lyn (Richard) Lofgren; 9 grandchildren; 11 great grandchildren; loving siblings, relatives and good friends.
