Jamie Dale Gerdts

   


I just found out about this on July 21st from Fred. To say I am shocked and beyond saddened is an understatement. I am so, so, so sorry I wasn't there for the services and funeral. I am still having a hard time believing it, I can only imagine.... Jamie was a good man, we are all so very blessed to have known him. Know that you're not alone in your grief, and if there's anything I can do for you, please let me know.

Sherry,Thomas,and family...I really don't know what to say at a time like this.I do know this, Heaven must have been getting pretty dark and gloomy for God to take Jamie, because no one could light up a place and put a smile on your face like "turbo". Our thoughts and prayers are with you.Jeff,Deb and Miranda Slife

What fun we had with Jamie and brother Darren at HAGGIS events, Ushers Ferry and at family get- togethers! He was "OH, so proud" of Thomas and he sparkled when he was around Sherry. Our hearts go out to Ann, Dale, Darren and the whole family during this difficult time.

The last time I saw Jamie I tried to introduce him to my younger friends, but naturally, being musicians, they all already knew him. He was a local hero, not just because of his presence in the music scene, but because he was the nicest guy you'd ever meet. We'll miss him.

Jamie was my best friend in the world. He was always there for his family and friends and helped out anyone who needed it. I am blessed and honored to have known him, jammed with him, hillclimbed with him and hung out with him. A better friend no one will ever have. I love you and I miss you bro! - Denny, Vicky, and Josie.

Sherry, Thomas and all of Jamies family. There are no words to express how very sorry I am for the loss of Jamie. He was one of my very best friends all through high school. He was a great friend with a heart the size of Utah. I am so blessed to have run in to him at Sammy's a few weeks ago and got to hug him and laugh with him one last time. I am positive he was loved by all who knew him. God Bless you all. Rachel Lebeda Smith

Words do not express the loss we all share. Jamie was ten feet tall and bullet proof. This comes as a great shock to all. My condolences go to his family. He was my friend and my bro. The Bacon Festival will not be the same without him. He was the kindest man I know. He could not quit talking about the love of his life and his pride in his son. Jamie is surely drinking Beam with St. Peter. God bless.

When I was the new kid in school Jamie was the first person to talk to me. He became a big brother I never had. He was just switching from driving his Charger to driving a goofy yellow VW bug and I remember him as the combination of Mopar power and a goofy VW. His smile and laugh were infectious and I was blessed to have the chance to be his friend. My heart goes out to Sherry and Thomas as well as Jamie's parents and his hero, his big brother Darren.

To Jamie's family, No words can express my sadness for your loss. Jamie was a wonderful friend all through school and when I would see him years later, he picked right back up like an old friend, so proud of Thomas and the love of his life, Sherry. He truly had a heart of GOLD and will be deeply missed. My prayers go out to the family.

I am married to Jamie's cousin Debbie Gerdts and have known Jamie since he was about 14. He had just an unbelievable love of life and always figured out a way to make everyday fun. When we were kids, we actually got into a water ballon and squirt gun fight inside Ann and Dale's house. The walls, cieling and floor were absolutely drenched. I also remember flying down a gravel road on the back of Jamie's 3 wheeler and him yelling ditch and flying though the air into a snow bank. Jamie loved doing stuff like that. I remember being at cousin Chad's wedding and Jamie had stepped in a dirtpile full of fire aunts. About an hour later Darren had to rush him to the hospital for benedryl because he was having an allergic reaction. Once he got back we were driving back to the hotel and he got stung by a bee inside his shirt... What a day. I also remember when we were skiing and I wrecked my father's van actually rolling it. Jamie was in the middle, laying on a couch and the roll actually set him up on his feet and back on to his stomach and he slept right through the whole thing unharmed. Jamie had just learned to ski that day and him and another guy helped eachother stop by just running into one another and falling. It was like watching the 3 stooges... We laughed all day. I good go on forever with great memories. Jamie will always be in my heart and missed. My absolute love and condolences go out to his wife, son, brother, his parents and of course the rest of his family.

I met Jamie through his son Thomas and skateboarding. From what I can tell he really loved and supported his son. He was such a nice guy with a good sense of humor. Although I didn't really get to know him, I will miss that occasional "What's up?" from Jamie at the skatepark.

Jamie was one of my brother's best friends. Once a year my mom and I would travel to Anamosa to watch them hillclimb. My brother grew up hillclimbing and Jamie wanted to try it out. My brother said Jamie picked up a hillclimber at a garage sale, duct taped it together and was ready to go! Denny was so thrilled that they were riding together, they even had matching red and black hillclimbing gear and t-shirts made "Got Hill?" He was so fun to watch, he never took himself too seriously and always offered that huge smile! I remember when I first met Jamie he had this long hair and was the drummer in their band. Then, a few years later I saw him again with his haircut and thought, "How handsome!" I'm so sorry for Sherry and Thomas and the rest of Jamie's family and for my brother. Jamie will be greatly missed!

To all of Jamie's family, I will never forget Jamie's smile,laugh and most of all his huge heart. Jamie was my first "boyfriend" way back in 3rd grade & I'll never forget the koala bear he brought back from New Zealand for me. : He was always someone I could talk to & valued our friendship. I'm so glad I was able to bump into him now & again at the bank. I know how much he loved Sherry, Thomas & life! My heart goes out to all of you.

Where to start. I got to know Jamie years ago when he was in the Band Mogolith. My ex, Jamie and Fred played in this band for years. Jamie was the best drummer every and will just about blow everyone away! I remember the day is son Thomas was born. Jamie was the proudest dad in the whole world to have a son. The day Sherry and Jamie asked me to be their son's Godmother was the best thing that has ever happend to me. Then he started hilllclimbing...I made the guys shirts that said "GOT HILL"! Jamie wore his proudly no matter if he made it over the hill or crashed! Remember the duct taped bike! That was just one of Jamie's proudest inventions he came up with and was not at all embarrassed about it at all. Way to go Jamie! Now he will make it over the hill with no problems...climb on! Jamie was the type to give his shirt off his back to anyone. But if you messed with his love Sherry and his son Thomaslook out. He has so much love for them that it will continue on no matter where he is. Sherry and Thomas you both know I will do anything for you! You are my extended family and always will be. Keep your chin up even on the hardest days to come! Be strong and remember it is all right to smile and laugh....that is how Jamie is and it will continue on. I love you both very much! Tammy

Where do I start? I have so many wonderful memories growing up with my cousin Jamie. I remember spending many summer Saturday's at grandma's house in Marion. To the creek we would end up and without a doubt in some kind of mischief. Hours of pulling leaches off of each other and trying to make up stories to explain how we ended up wet and dirty as we weren't supposed to be there in the first place. Other days we would set off towards town and to Ole's Ham and Egger for Zots and Pop rocks. Back down by the creek we would sit and eat our candy, drink Cokes and have burping contests under the big weeping willow. Until the "mean" lady that lived there let out her bulldog named Clover and chased us off. In the winter we would be out at Uncle Dale's and Auntie Ann's riding either the snowmobile or the 3 wheeler. How we didn't get hurt anymore than we did, I don't know. There is not enough room or time to type all I would like to reminsce over. I will keep the rest to tell to whomever will sit and listen. I do wish I could laugh with Jamie just one more time over all these times. I would ask him to remember "Chuck the Mop". Sherry, Thomas, Uncle Dale and Auntie Ann, I can only imagine your pain and sorrow. My thoughts and love are with you all. All my Love, Deb

I had many good times with you guys and the love Jamie had for you both was obvious to all. He was always the life of the party and brought happiness & laughter to those around him. He will be truly missed by anyone whose life he touched. My Love, Thoughts, & Prayers are with you both. Alicia

I will forever remember Jamie when I think of high school at Alburnett. He was the funniest kid I knew and all of us enjoyed listening to him play on the drum set. I last saw him a few years ago at a funeral and he greeted me with a bear hug, and treated me as if he'd just seen me a week ago. It was obvious from talking to him that Thomas was the center of his universe. He'll always be someone I wish I'd kept in better touch with.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Jamies passing. I have been reminising about all the fun times and adventures we had in highschool. I am so thankful for the friendship we had. I am also greatfull that I was able to see him at Mike's one last time working on a juke box. I miss you my friend.

I met Jamie through my niece and I will never forget the first time we were introduced and I received my first "Jamie hug"-I was wondering why his chest was moving and in typical Jamie behavior he pulled his pet mouse out of his shirt pocket and introduced him too. I didn't see Jamie as often as time went by but when I did see him I was always greeted with a huge smile and a wonderful hug. Jamie was truly a beautiful soul and will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. My deepest sympathies go out to his entire family. Jamie-May your spirit fly free and easy. Love you always, Jude

I will never forget Jamie as a little boy who stood in my living room and pitched a fit and refused to be photographed by the professional photographer that was taking the pictures. On the same day he also got his mothers car keys and put them in an electrical wall socket. There was a huge bang which scared all of us. Reading the wonderful memories written by so many relatives and friends of Jamie's, it was obvious that he lived and loved life to the fullest and still had that mischieveous nature. He must have been a truly wonderful man and I am sorry I didn't get one of those wonderful bear hugs. minus the mouse Sherry, Thomas, Ann, Dale and Darren. Our prayers are with all of you during the sad loss of such a beloved Husband, Dad, Son and Brother. Sincerely, Sylvia & John Dunn Jacksonville, Florida

Jamie and I were friends in grade school and high school. I'll always remember spending the night at Jamie's house when we were like 4th graders. Dale and Ann putting up with loud music and us running around at all hours! We'd tear up our BMX bikes, launch model rockets any time of the year and try to recover them from any tree. I miss him. I regret that I haven't talked to him since high school. We had music in common. I wanted to catch up on all he'd done with music and share where I'd been with it. Someday we will hang out together again. My prayers and condolences and fondest of memories.

I remember how when we were visiting in Cedar Rapids, we crossed paths two or three times, and the last time at Hi-Vee, you spotted me and yelled "No way!" and I laughed. You will always be in my heart. And Thomas, I can never imagine the pain you must be going through right now. I wish you and your mother the best of luck for the future. Also, if you are feeling terrible or bad in any way and need someone to talk to, always remember that you can talk to me about anything, I will understand.

I tried once before to share my thoughts and memories but it didn't show up in the guest book. I will try again, because it is important to me to let my family know how I feel. It was a shock when the news first came out about Jamie. I felt like I had lost my own child. I can understand the grief from Dale and Ann's point of view. After reading Thomas's words to his dad, I see what a fine young man he is becoming and he will be there to protect his mom the best way he knows how. Sherry, I worry about you and hope that you will be ok. Only time will help in healing your pain. Please lean on the ones who love you to help you through this tough time. Jamie was the neatest guy that ever was. He always had a smile for anyone and always had something funny to share. He cherished Sherry and Thomas. He's had some tough times to deal with in his own personal life, but seemed to rebound back. I think the flood of 2008 was just too much. I love you, Jamie, with all my heart and soul. I'll see you on the other side some day. Your Aunt Linda
