Gerald Fjelstad

Gerald Fjelstad, 75, passed away on Jan. 1, 2021, after a brief battle with cancer. Jerry was an explorer, an adventurer, and a family man. He was incredibly loving and generous, and we are all better for having the opportunity to know and love him. He was unwaveringly optimistic and truly believed that he lived his life under a lucky star. Jerry lived a full and beautiful life. Jerry is survived by his loving wife and best friend of 48 years, Gloria Fjelstad; his sister Judy (Mike) Spillane; his children Kierston (Jason) Branstetter and Nathan (Katie) Fjelstad; his five grandchildren: Tanner, Preston, and Sierra Branstetter, and Leif and Mira Fjelstad; along with Gloria’s family and many great friends. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Marvin and Vera Fjelstad, and his brother Ronald “Fitz” Fjelstad. A private celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
