Obituary ~ Jerry Dean Redman
November 13, 1934 - November 23, 2016

Leon Journal-Reporter
Leon, Decatur County, Iowa

Jerry Dean Redman, son of Raymond Allen Redman and Nadene Marie Lantz Redman was born November 13, 1934 in Van Wert, Iowa and passed from this life on November 23, 2016 at 82 years of age.

Jerry received his education in Decatur County attending Van Wert High School, where he graduated in 1953.

He was united in marriage to Alice Eveline Roe on May 2, 1954 at Van Wert, Iowa and two children, Diane and Linda blessed this union.

Jerry worked as a Farmer for many years in Decatur County. He worked for the City of Clive Parks and Recreation Department as an equipment operator from 1994-1999 and later mowed the City of Clive parks from 2005-2009. His employment there was a gratifying part of his life and he took great pride in his work.

Anyone who knew Jerry knows that he didn’t know a stranger and loved to visit with friends and family. He had many interests over the years. Jerry received his pilot’s license and enjoyed flying. He enjoyed riding his Harley, water skiing at the Lake of the Ozarks and especially loved touring the Rocky Mountains. Jerry’s interests also included history and politics. He was fond of The Far Side. His hand-cranked ice cream became a frequent passion and favorite family tradition. In more recent years, a favorite past time was the hours he spent restoring the Oliver tractor he had owned while farming.

Those relatives who preceded Jerry in death were his parents and his brother, Norman Redman.

Jerry leaves to cherish his memory; daughters, Diane (Bob) Sayre of Hendersonville, NC, and Linda (Dennis) Vinson of Leon, IA; granddaughters, Tamara (Marc) Shannon of Mason City, IA, and Elisabeth McQuistan of Waukee, IA; grandsons, Chris (Amy) McClaran of Decatur, IA, John Rovane of Des Moines, IA, Cole Vinson of Leon, IA, and Caleb (Nichole) Vinson of Leon, IA; sisters, Mardell (Dave) Boles of Murray, IA and Marlene Nash of Murray, IA; brother, Ben Redman of Twin Bridges, MT; great-granddaughters, Nicole Cole, Lydia McClaran, Stormy Brenizer, Eve Shannon and Harper Vinson; great-grandsons, Lane Moore and Cyler Vinson; two great-great-grandchildren as well as many other relatives and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Jerry’s honor at the Van Wert Community Center from 2:00 pm to 4:00pm on Sunday, December 4th.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation be made in memory of Jerry Redman to HCI Care Services, 715 West McLane Street, Ste.100, Osceola, IA 50213.

[Interment at Van Wert Cemetery at a later time.]
