Jerry Wayne Medsker, 68, of Marshall, IL passed from this earth into the arms of Jesus on July 13, 2023 at his home. He was born in Terre Haute, IN on August 11, 1954 to Charles Noel and Barbara Louise (Smith) Medsker. He is survived by three brothers; Charles (Mary) Medsker of Casey, IL, Brian (Debbie) Medsker of Robinson, IL and Mark (Marilyn) Medsker of Kennewick, WA and two sisters; Marian (Jamie) Parisha of Vincennes, IN and Judith Medsker of Bloomington, IN; one aunt, Donna DiNaso and three cousins, Robert (Sara) Rayhel, Brenda (Mark) Gaddis and Lynetta (John) Norton.

He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents; Charles W. and Edna F. Medsker, Walter R. Smith, and Max and Thelma M. Springer. He was also preceded in death by an aunt and uncle, Silas and Virginia Rayhel, and his best friend and uncle, Richard A. Smith and one nephew, Jasonte Medsker. Jerry graduated from Robinson High School in 1972 where he excelled in Track and Field. He set school records for many track events for several years until his younger brother, Mark came along and beat most of those records. He attended college in Tulsa, OK, where he obtained a bachelors degree. He studied computer software programing and went on to consult with several major companies across the United State writing and developing software for their businesses. He loved to travel out west on vacation with his Uncle Richard and they had many adventures together. He adored his nieces and nephews, loved spending time with them and treated them as his own. However, his most important relationship was with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He grew up establishing this relationship at Highland Church of Christ in Robinson, IL and later in life cemented that relationship by faithfully studying God's word and attending Christian Churches in some of the many communities he lived and worked in. His greatest love was ministering to the elderly in the nursing homes and sharing God's love with them which he did for several years. He will be missed dearly by all of us.
