Gerald Trewyn

Gerald loved playing with and spoiling his many grand, great, and great-great grandkids. He loved camping, hunting, fishing, building things, cooking over the open fire, and telling jokes.
Gerald was preceded in death by his parents, his loving wife, his siblings Luella, Merrill, Earl, Raymond, David, Elroy, Betsy, and Janice; his children Gerald “Mike” Trewyn, Kathleen Larson, and his granddaughter Jennifer Kath.
He is survived by his siblings Kathy, Jim, Dick, Mike, Pearl, Stan, Roger, and Tom; his children, Sandra Hewitt, John (Deb) Trewyn, Patricia Hoffman, Russell (Karen) Trewyn, Larry Trewyn, Robert “Bucky” (Charmaine) Trewyn, and Carol (John) Worth.
The family would like to give a special shout out to the Mayo clinic hospice team and Rolling Hills nursing home in Sparta, where he resided until his time of passing, for all the wonderful care they gave Gerald. There will not be a funeral service, but the family will be having a private memorial service for him at a later date.

We knew Shorty for many years. He was quite the handyman, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t fix! Always so nice to run into him at the store or around town. He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. He will be greatly missed.
