Jerry Lee Main, 63, of Independence, Iowa died Tuesday, August 28, 2018 at Covenant Medical Center in Waterloo, IA.

Jerry was born on June 21, 1955, in Cedar Rapids, IA, the son of Gerald W. and Gladys R. (Hilmer) Main. He grew up in Rowley, IA, and was a 1974 graduate of Jefferson High School, Independence, IA. Jerry worked for many years repairing motorcycles and worked for his good friend Mike Benards farm with chores. He often went on many motorcycle rides with friends, and also enjoyed his time working on grain elevators in Nebraska, and working as a carpenter at the Mental Health Institute in Independence, Iowa.

He was a Jack of all trades and those close to him knew him to be kind hearted. It was not an uncommon sight to see him chasing after a yard full of kids.
