Jerry Lewis Brewster
July 28, 1947 - June 3, 2016

Jerry L. Brewster, age 68, of Storm Lake, Iowa, died on Friday, June 3, 2016, at the Methodist Manor Retirement Community in Storm Lake.

Jerome Lewis “Jerry” Brewster, a son of Donald and Leorna (Milenberg) Brewster, was born on July 28, 1947, in Sheldon, Iowa.

Baptized and confirmed in the Catholic faith in Sheldon, Jerry graduated from Sheldon High School in 1965. Next, he joined the United States Navy. After serving his country during the Vietnam War, he was honorably discharged on June 25, 1968.

In his earlier years, Jerry worked for the Illinois Central Railroad as a conductor. Then, he worked at Tyson Foods in Storm Lake, retiring in 2012.

Jerry loved movies, collecting thousands throughout his lifetime. He, also, collected Star Wars and Disney figurines. At Christmas time every year, he would spend days baking and decorating Christmas cookies that he would give away to just about everyone he knew. Many people would say they were the best cookies they had ever had. Most of all, however, Jerry cherished the time he spent with his family and friends. A loving father to two daughters, Pennie and Melodie, he will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Those left to cherish his memory include his daughters: Pennie (Matt) Kragel, of Storm Lake, Iowa, and Melodie Brewster, of Cherokee, Iowa; his grandchildren: Alexa Brewster, of Cherokee, Iowa, and Kyra and Jacob Kragel, of Storm Lake, Iowa; his great grandson, Ryden Monroe, of Cherokee, Iowa; his brothers: Robert (Lynette) Brewster, of Omaha, Nebraska, Harold Brewster, of Sioux City, Iowa, Roger (Mary Jane) Brewster, of St. Cloud, Minnesota, Greg (Nancy) Brewster, of Sheldon, Iowa, and Kevin (Barb) Brewster, of Stevens Point, Wisconsin; and his sister, Mary Ann Patterson, of Irving, Texas; as well as many nieces, nephews,extended family members, and friends.

Jerry was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers: David (Pat) and Paul Brewster.

Memorial services will be held Saturday, June 11, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. at the Fratzke & Jensen Funeral Home in Storm Lake. Visitation will take place one hour prior to services at the funeral home. The Fratzke & Jensen Funeral Home in Storm Lake is in charge of the arrangements.
