Mr. Boyers was born January 24, 1931 in Toledo, Ohio to Stanley and Martha Bojarski-Boyers. Jerry loved his family dearly and was an avid fisherman and wonderful story teller! He was always searching for the next adventure to go on or planning the next trip he wanted to take. He enjoyed playing cards with his buddies at the Senior Center and shopping for bargains.

He then served in the United States Marine Corps from 1951-1953 becoming a Sergeant during the Korean War. When Jerry returned from the war, he married Betsey, and they had four children. They then moved to Cincinnati, where he was employed by Weight Watchers and made a career transition into selling real estate, which he did for 22 years. Jerry then retired from real estate to work part time at Meijer for 10 years. He and Betsey enjoyed their retirement traveling and spending time with family and friends.
