October 17, 1926 – April 15, 2013

Jerry Cameron Henry was born in San Mateo, California to Ralph and Valdez Henry. He grew up with two older sisters, Peggy and Louise, in Lakewood and Everett, Washington. Jerry began working for Standard Oil at the age of 16, and went on to have a 50-year career with Chevron as a Chevron dealer in the San Jose area. The best part of his day was when he got to “shoot the breeze” with his customers. Jerry married Dorothy Griffin and they had three children. He spent his free time working around his home, building decks and landscaping, and always had a beautiful yard. Jerry and his second wife, Beryl, enjoyed spending time with their friends, taking motor home trips, vacations to Maui and traveling outside of the United States.

After the death of his wife Beryl, Jerry moved to Bend to be closer to family. Walking became his favorite activity, along with planting flowers in as many pots as he could fit into his yard, and later on his patio at Whispering Winds. He never got used to the cold winters, but loved the mountain views and Central Oregon scenery. He spent a lot of time listening to music, everything from country to jazz, Celine Dion to the Bee Gees. Jerry loved to have fun and was always ready to laugh and joke around. His smile and sense of humor will be remembered by all who knew him, and are what his family will miss the most.

Jerry is survived by his children, Randy (wife, Lynne), Stan (wife, Beckey), daughter, Candace (husband, Ashford); and grandchildren, Hallie, Hayden, Matt, Alexis, Max and Mia.
