Jerry D. Witt

Jerry D. Witt, a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on January 1, 2026, at the age of 88. Born on February 2, 1937, in Louellen, Kentucky.

He is survived by his devoted son, Jerry Steven (Sharon) Witt; his cherished daughter, Dorothy "Dee" (Robert "Bo") Bushelman; and his adored grandchildren-Charley Nicole, Blake, Devon, Derrick, Alyssa, Jena, Jacob, and Daniel. Jerry also leaves behind a loving legacy as a great-grandfather and is remembered fondly by his sister, Betty Blanton. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Louise Witt, and his granddaughter, Kyle L. Witt. Jerry's family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Virgil and Kathy Cromer, Gordy and Sharon Hickey, and Doug Witt and David Witt for their compassionate care and support during his later years. 

Known for his kind heart and selflessness, Jerry was a man of quiet nature who preferred the simple joys of life. He found solace in fishing, nurturing his garden, and spending time with his cherished dog, Judge Judy. He had a notable work ethic, retiring three times from E.C. Shaw Engraving Company, where he was respected and loved by his colleagues.

A proud veteran of the United States Army, Jerry served his country with honor for two years. He was loved by many at the Owensville Church of Christ, where he was regarded with affection and respect.

In celebration of Jerry's life, the family will hold a visitation at Evans Funeral Home in Milford on January 10, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, followed by a funeral service at 11:00 AM. Following the services, he will be laid to rest at Graceland Memorial Gardens. 

As we remember Jerry D. Witt, we celebrate a life marked by love, generosity, and the cherished moments that he shared with all of us. He will be dearly missed and forever held in our hearts.
