Preceded in death by his parents, Theresa and Harold Beauvais; brother Raphael Beauvais; and sister Donna (the late Robert) Bowerson.

Jerry will be missed by his loving wife Nita of 65 years; daughter Debbie (Bruce) Smith; son Greg (Veronica) Beauvais; 5 grandchildren; Courtney (Fletcher) Emerson, Lauren (Wes) Olson, Danielle (Billy) Koelker, Nick Beauvais, and Gabby (Logan) Swogger; 7 great-grandchildren; Nora, Liam, Lincoln, Quinn, Henry, Will and Lily; sister-in-law Joan Beauvais; and many nieces and nephews. 

Jerry was born in Marine City, MI on April 15, 1941. He had a long career in the travel industry that allowed him to travel the world. He and Nita enjoyed traveling in their RV for many years, escaping the long Minnesota winters. Jerry was devoted to his faith.  His keen sense of humor, love for his family and of course his love for chocolate will be fondly remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

A private family service will be held in his honor.
