Jerome “Jerry” B. Weckesser

Mr. Jerome “Jerry” B. Weckesser of Downing Court, Concord, passed away Friday, September 23, 2022 at Atrium Health Cabarrus.

A memorial service will be 11:00 AM Wednesday, October 12, 2022 at The Refuge Church in Kannapolis. The family will receive friends and family following the service.

Jerry was born May 1, 1946 in Dayton OH to the late Richard John Weckesser and Elizabeth Ann Sieverding Weckesser. He retired from the IT Department at Kettering Health in Kettering, OH.

Throughout his life, Jerry shared a passion for trains, painting, and photography. He was always aware of the beauty around him and captured what no one else could. When his hands were no longer steady enough to hold his instrument of choice, Jerry would create word pictures in the form of prayers and stories. His ability to masterfully share God’s beauty was appreciated by those he touched with his words and his random acts of kindness.

Jerry was a member of The Refuge Church Young At Heart seniors group, the Tuesday morning men’s Prayer group and church benevolence team. Jerry lived for the opportunity to intercede for any want or need and was always the first to stand in the gap when a request was given.

Jerry is survived by wife Indra Lee Weckesser; daughter Cheryl Lee Johnson; grandchild Tiah Solway and husband James; great grandchildren Jonathan and Isabelle Solway; a number of nieces, nephews and cousins; sister-in-law Donna Monroe and husband Jay; and special friends Angie and Al Currin
