Jerry Putman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 20, 2017.

Jerry was born in San Angelo, Texas. His early childhood years
were spent in Midland, Texas and teen years in Casper, Wyoming.
He was a 1969 graduate of Natrona County High School and a
1974 graduate of Texas Tech University with a major in political
science and economics.
Jerry was passionate about audio video and worked in this industry
for almost a decade. His love of this guided him to eventually have
large screen TVs in every room of his house. He finally built his dream
room of a theater
and sound room in 2006.
His spirited debates, amazing smile, passion, and high expectations of
people will provide lasting memories for all that loved him. We would
like to sincerely thank you for all being here today. Seeing the positive
impact Jerry made on so many lives brings his entire family joy during
this difficult time.

Gay, So sorry to hear of the passing of Jerry. Way too young to be leaving this world. The word feisty describes him perfectly in junior high and at NCHS. But it was in a good way. You could not have asked for a nicer guy. You and him are fond memories of my days in Casper.

I am thankful for Jerry being my mentor at ESC, and all I learned from him. I hope to come out and attend his Celebration of Life when detals are forthcoming. Our hearts go out to Gay and their children.

Our hearts are saddened by this news. Jerry was a trusted and true friend. His great sense of humor and spirited conversations will be greatly missed. We didn't get to see each other much since his retirement but he was always close to our hearts and minds. Unfortunately I missed you yesterday at the funeral home as I was delayed by traffic. I would have liked to personally given you my heartfelt sympathies. You and your family will be in our prayers in the coming days that God would grant his deep abiding peace and would lift your hearts with joyful memories.
