Our beloved Husband, Dad, Grandpa, and friend Jerry “Mr. G”, walked thru Heaven’s gate on May 26, 2023, surrounded by his family.  Mr. G. was born in North Dakota to the late Dorothy (Brooker) Beaumont & Ludvig Gilbertson on April 4, 1943. His family then moved to Michigan about the age of 4, He was raised on the family farm in Alpena, Michigan.  He settled in Owosso after he married Karla Hall on July 28, 1979, and she survives him.  He loved Drag Racing in which he had won several awards. His other hobbies also included softball, bowling, and deer hunting camp. He and his brother were into CBs and his handle was “Bucksnort”, he loved U of M, and was also very fond of Chevrolet, he really disliked Ford.   Mr. G. loved when the family gathered either at his home in the garage, up north on the family farm, at the campground in Lachine, or at Beaver Lake for picnics and reunions.
