Jerry C. Frost

Jerry Frost, 59, passed away on April 24, 2017 at Taylor House, surrounded by his loved ones. He was born October 12, 1957 in Des Moines, Iowa, the son of Jack A. and Donna C. Frost of Ankeny. He attended Ankeny High School where he earned trophies in wrestling and ribbons in track, until he broke his back at age 17. He later received his GED.

Jerry was a carpenter with Local #106 for 10 years at Mill-Rite Woodworking Company. He was an outstanding mechanic, working for Phil McCaully, and also worked for Larry Perisho with Epic Corporation. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. Jerry loved fishing, camping, boating and collecting trains, both old and new. He tremendously loved and enjoyed his grandchildren. Jerry was a devoted husband and loving father, and was stubborn as a mule.
