Jerry was born Mar. 20, 1960 in Anchorage to Jerry N. Peter Sr. and Feona Allowan Peter Standifer. He was a commercial fisherman in Tyonek for many years. He worked for Bob and Shirley Eckstrom in Shirleyville for many years as a tender. Jerry also took care of vehicle and equipment maintenance for Shirleyville camp lodge. In the mid 1990s he moved to Kenai. He married Mary Jennifer Eaddy in 2000 and they made Kenai their home. Jerry was known as “Uncle Jerry” or “Uncle Jug” to all the children. He was forever babysitting day or night for whomever needed it. It never mattered why, he was always happy to do it. He loved all children unconditionally, and he was loved by them. It was often said, “Jerry needs a huge nursery full of kids and a never empty bank account to go with it.” Jerry will be greatly missed and forever loved by all who knew him.

He is survived by his wife, Mary Eaddy of Kenai; sisters, Vera Trenton, Annie Peter, Emma Constantine, and Elsie Roehl; brothers, Samuel Peter and Gordon Peter; stepfather, Bill Standifer; stepson, Leonard Trenton and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
