Gerald P. Humm

Gerald (Jerry) Humm passed away Tuesday, April 19, 2022, after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 83. He was born in La Crosse in 1939, to Francis and Bertha Humm. Jerry graduated from Central High School in 1957. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1962 and was stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas. This is where he met his future wife, Mary, on a blind date. He and Mary were joined in marriage in 1963, and together they have three wonderful children.

Jerry retired from DS Electric in 2004 where he was a route driver for many years. He became a Road Captain for the La Crosse Motorcycle Club and enjoyed taking group members on many rides on backcountry roads throughout the region. Motorcycle riding was his passion, and he loved chatting about it with anyone who would listen. If he wasn't out riding his motorcycle, he loved spending time with his family and friends.

Jerry is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Mary; his children: Ron (Rhonda), Sally (Steve) and Nancy (Mark); his grandchildren: Kristen, Carrie, Emily, John, Marissa and Ian. He is also survived by his two great-grandchildren, Emma and Elias.

In addition, he is also survived by his two brothers, Roy and Don (Lois), and his sister, Jean (Marv), along with many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters-in-law: Karen Humm and Ella Mae Humm; and two nieces.

Visitation will be held at the church on Saturday from 9:30 A.M. until the time of the service. A private burial will follow at Oak Grove Cemetery in La Crosse at a later date.
