Jerry was born Aug. 4, 1942, in Onaka, S.D. to Agatha and Anton Fix. He served our country in the United States Army from 1959- 1962. Upon returning, he completed his undergraduate degree at Northern State University and his master’s degree at the University of Northern Colorado.

He married his wife of 50 years, Monie, in 1971. Together they raised three children: Tracey, Tony and Angie. After teaching high school and being a high school counselor, Jerry was a vocation rehabilitation counselor.

Jerry was retired for 19 years. Jerry and Monie enjoyed spending their retirement years taking Jay Buckley Baseball Tours, spending their winters in Sun Lakes, Ariz. and watching their seven grandchildren grow up. Jerry was an avid Lakeville North, Rochester Lourdes, and Buffalo Bison/P2P Miller fan. He tried to make every game, often catching multiple games in a day. He also loved pranking and being the recipient of pranks and jokes from his grandkids.

Jerry’s passions outside of following his grandkids, included refereeing basketball and umpiring baseball- all for the love of the game. He enjoyed watching sports live and on TV. He loved his wife, kids and grandkids more than anything else.

He is survived by his wife, Monie; children, Tracey Patterson of Los Angeles, Tony (Nicole) Fix of Rochester and Angie (Dylan) Mullenbach of Buffalo; his beloved grandchildren, Jake Patterson, Carter Patterson, Gannon Fix, Hudson Fix, Sutton Fix, Nolan Mullenbach and Emry Mullenbach; two sisters, Sister Mary Fix of Aberdeen, S.D. and Monica VanderTuin (brother by choice, Gene Herold) of Sun Lakes, Ariz., and brother Jim Fix of Hot Springs, S.D.; many nieces/nephews; special in-laws, Reenie and Jim Malsom of Aberdeen, S.D., and son-in-law Lane Patterson of Lakeville.

Jerry was preceded in death by his mom and dad (Agatha and Anton Fix) and sister, Eileen Goebel. For more information or to leave an online condolence message go to www.megercares.com.
