Jerry Allen Strand, 81, of East Troy, passed away peacefully on Sept. 29, 2025. He was born on April 11, 1944.
Jerry was a devoted dad to David (Andrea) Strand, Kurt (Cindy) Strand, and Sheri (Mathew) Polczynski. He was a proud grandpa to Ryan, Troy, Catelynn, Amanda, Josh, Ava, Chloe, Peyton, and Julia. He is also survived by his sisters Dianne (Tom) Marini and Carol (Mike) Ianneli; along with many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss him dearly. He was preceded in death by his siblings Wayne, Gordon, and Janet.
Jerry made his home in East Troy, where he worked at Trent Tube Manufacturing and built a long, steady career, retiring after 32 years. In 1971, he and his family put down roots in the community he loved. Jerry was a lifelong Green Bay Packers fan and an avid dart ball player. During his years playing dart ball, his buddies nicknamed him “Boss Hog”, a title he wore with pride.
A celebration of life will be held on Friday, Oct. 3, 2025 at The Venue in East Troy. Visitation is from 3 until 5 p.m. with a service at 5 p.m. followed by a dinner.
