Jerry Lee Schwarzrock was born August 19, 1952 to Amos and Delores (King) Schwarzrock in Wilmar, MN. Jerry graduated from Gibbon High School in 1970 and furthered his education at Mankato State University. He then continued farming. Jerry married Brenda Lang in 1975 and they raised their three children Paul, Jan and Mark on the Schwarzrock family farm. Later the marriage was dissolved and he continued farming up until 2021 when he retired. In October 2022 when he needed assistance with his life after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he went into Golden Hearts Assisted Living in Arlington, Minnesota. Jerry was very passionate about green energy, especially solar and wind energy. He enjoyed fishing, ice fishing, spearing, bowling, watching sports on TV and above all else he loved to spend time with his family and friends. He will be greatly missed by those who knew him. Blessed be his memory.
