Jerry Hall Obituary

Jerry Hall, of Lawrence, passed away, in the early evening of June 28, 2025, with his wife and children, next to him.

He was born to Bill and Helene Hall, raised in Osage City, where he enjoyed small town life and was the youngest of three boys. He met his wife, Roxanne, while she was visiting Osage City, in the summer of 1977, and they were married in 1979. Jerry and Roxanne began their life attending the University of Pittsburg. They enjoyed life there, staying 11 years, starting his career with JC Penney, having their three children, and making friendships that continue to this day.

Lawrence became home in the 1990's. Jerry's career continued with JCP, the Lawrence Journal-World, and Laird Noller Ford. His expertise in customer service made him a valuable asset in every aspect of his career, with Laird saying, "Jerry was the best hire, he ever made".

Jerry's passion was his family, he was happiest with his wife, his children and two beautiful grandsons. He enjoyed cars, fishing, gardening, and visiting with the people he loved. He will be missed by many, but now joins his parents and son.

A celebration of his life will be held 7/25/2025 at 3:00, at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to our church or the Douglas County Humane Society in Jerry's name. Condolences may be sent to the family's home or in care of St. Margaret's.

I worked with Jerry at the Lawrence JCP, when it was located on 23rd str. Jerry was an awesome SUPERVISOR!! He felt more like a friend than a supervisor too! After I left JCP no matter where or when I would run into him around town, he would always be so concerned about how things were going with me and always asked about my kids. Jerry Hall was just a very nice human being! So very sad to hear of his passing!

My sincerest condolences to Roxanne, Jerad, Jessica, and family. Jerry was truly a model example of a great man, husband, father, and friend. He looked for opportunities to help others, learn their stories, and then do something to brighten their days. He showed all of us who knew him how to make a positive difference every day! This man did the right thing all the time, and especially when no one was looking. We will miss you Jerry, and we are grateful for all the times you shared stories, advice, and laughter with us!

Jerry was one of the best humans I have ever met. He hired me in 2000 when I moved to the area, fast forward... we purchased our last Mustang from him and drove it right off the showroom floor. We stayed in touch. If I sent a message.... he would pick up the phone and call.... and talk to me for an hour like we were still working together. Not many people like that exist... and I am convinced no one cared more. He loved his family and everything he would mention them... that huge Jerry smile. He was a good man and I am blessed for having known him. Prayers and love to Roxanne and family.

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers throughout this time.

So sorry to hear about Jerry´s passing. We understand why Laird Noller considers Jerry "the best employee we ever hired". He sold us our 2014 Ford Transit Connect Van which we still drive. Jerry was a warm, friendly, caring and conscientious salesman. He also went above and beyond when the Van broke down due to a recall item while we were on vacation in Alaska. We contacted him at midnight after all other resources failed. He navigated getting the Van fixed and securing us use of a rental vehicle thus saving us and our vacation. We always enjoyed visiting Jerry when our Van was at Laird Noller for service.

I worked with Jerry at JCPenney and talked to him many times since then. I will miss his cheerful demeanor and calm nature.
