Jerry L. Schad
December 1, 1935 — April 20, 2024
Jerry L. Schad, 88 years of age, passed peacefully on Saturday, April 20, 2024.
Jerry was born December 1, 1935, to Henry and Mildred Norman Schad of Milford, KS. He was the oldest of four children, including Joe Schad, Mary Lou Brown and Charles Schad, all who preceded him in death.
Jerry attended Pleasant View grade school and graduated from St. Xavier’s High School in Junction City in 1953. He attended Regis College in Denver, CO and Kansas State College in Manhattan, KS.
Jerry married Patricia “Patsy” Dreiling of Chapman, KS at St. Michael’s Catholic Church on January 26, 1957, and made Junction City their home. Born to this union were three children, Terry, Kathy, and Thomas (Tom). Patsy preceded Jerry in death on February 17, 2008, as did Terry on February 17, 2009.
Jerry was employed by the Kansas State Department of Human Resources (Kansas Employment and Unemployment departments) in Junction City for 36 years, retiring in June 1995. He enjoyed playing intermural basketball until he was 50 years old and was an avid golfer, with four hole-in-ones to his credit. He also enjoyed family, friends, fishing, playing pool and dancing. In fact, Jerry was often referred to by his friends as the ‘Fred Astaire’ of the dance floor; something he was quite proud of.
Jerry married Lorena Marcotte Clark on October 6, 2012.
He is survived by his daughter Kathy Willmott and her husband Kevin Willmott, Lawrence, KS, his son, Tom Schad of Kansas City, MO, his grandchildren Chris and Brenna Henderson of Lawrence, KS, Jeremy Antenen and Michael Schad of Kansas City, KS, and great granddaughter Amelia Schad of Kansas City, Kansas, and his stepsons, Mike Clark and his wife, Kathy of Dallas, Texas, and Jerry Clark of Clay Center, KS.
A Mass of Christian Burial will take place 10 a.m. Saturday, April 27, 2024 at St. Xavier Catholic Church.
Burial will be in St. Mary’s Cemetery in Junction City. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Xavier’s Catholic Church and St. Mary’s Cemetery.
