Jerome Gerald Lee, passed away on October 4, 2024, at Essentia Hospital, surrounded by his family. Jerome was born on May 10, 1940, in Kindred, ND.
Jerome was known for his loving, opinionated nature, strong work ethic and his ability to bring laughter into any room. Jerome graduated from Kindred High School and soon after he met Connie Flakne and they united in marriage on June 11, 1960, and started their journey. Jerome embarked on a long and fulfilling career in the auto industry. He dedicated 30 years of service as a parts manager at Berkey Lincoln Mercury. Later, he transitioned to Riverview, where he worked in security and maintenance.
Outside of his career, Jerome found joy in the outdoors and his garden. He treasured his annual fishing trips to Lake of the Woods with his father, brother-in-law, Pete and his friend Tommy. Gardening was another past time, he cherished, especially because it was a shared interest with his brother, Roger, who had a garden plot next to his.
Jerome leaves behind a loving family, including his children, Tammy (Lyle), Moorhead, MN, Teri (Clay), Twin Valley, MN, Jodi, Fargo, ND, and Junior, Twin Valley, MN; his brother, Jerry, Mandan, ND; sister, Karen (Ken) Kemp Oakdale, MN; and brother, Maynard (Paula), Casselton, ND; nine grandchildren; and 12 great grandchildren.
His life was also blessed with the companionship of his late wife, Connie of 60 years.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Connie; his parents, Marcus and Olga; his brother, Erlin and Roger; brother-in-law, Pete; and grandson, Jared.
Jerome will be remembered for his vibrant spirit, his resilience and the deep love he had for his family and friends. His memory will be cherished and kept alive in the hearts of those who knew him.
