Though he spent his final days in Colorado, Jerry called Lake Havasu City, Arizona home for many years and built a life rich in family, faith, and craftsmanship. Jerry began his career in tool and die before becoming a dedicated Manufacturing Engineer until his retirement. He was deeply proud of his service in the United States Air Force. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 66 years, Marcy, who passed just four months before him. He was also preceded in death by his parents, Steven and Eugena Czarnowski, and his brothers, Leonard and Melvin Czarnowski. Jerry is survived by his five children and their spouses: Debbie and Brian Reynolds; Jerry Czarnowski and Blanka Anderson; Connie and Scott Pierson; Laura Wendt; and David and Mindy Czarnowski. His legacy continues through his 9 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild, all of whom brought him immense pride and joy. A man of deep faith, Jerry was devoted to the Catholic Church and spent many years actively involved in the Knights of Columbus, where he served in numerous roles. In retirement, Jerry discovered a passion for creating beautiful intarsia woodwork. He also found joy in fishing and a love for magic. Jerry was a devoted family man who believed that family always came first. He will be profoundly missed by all who knew him. A Mass in celebration of Jerry's life will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, followed by a luncheon at the Church Hall. Jerry's life was one of service, love, faith, and creativity-a legacy that will live on in the hearts of his family for generations to come. |
