He was born on November 20, 1942 in Colville, WA, the son of Henry and Thelma (Ford) Gumm. Jerry was raised in Kettle Falls, WA, where he attended school and played high school football and basketball. In 1962, he married his high school sweetheart, Gloria Peters. He entered the U.S. Army and began a 21 year career as a Combat Engineer and Paratrooper. Jerry served multiple tours overseas including one in Korea and two in Vietnam. He and "his troops" were extremely successful in his last mission of 13 years as the Assistant Area Commander for the Pacific NW Recruiting Command. He was highly decorated and awarded many medals of commendation, including the Bronze Star with 2 oak leaf clusters and gold Recruiting badge with 3 blue sapphires. He married Barbara Van Horn in 1983 and together they operated the Hunters Inn for 20 years. Jerry was well known for the large Easter egg hunts he held in Hunters for many years. Jerry (aka Sarge) most recently drove the "yellow bullet" school bus for Riverside Schools where he loved "his kids". He had a very strong work ethic and also enjoyed farming, logging, watching the Mariners, Seahawks and Huskies. He especially enjoyed watching his sons and grandsons playing high school football. In 1995, Jerry and Barbara moved to Clayton and have resided there for almost 20 years. Jerry was a man of strong character with a gruff exterior and an extremely soft heart. He left little to question, including his love for his wife, children, grandchildren, great grandson and friends. Although very frugal, he cared for his friends as though they were family and his home was open to those in need.
