Gerald Edward Iriarte, known as Jerry, loved and served his country, family, and friends. He was a devout catholic who loved God with all his heart. Jerry was born in Yakima, Washington on July 19, 1942 to Joseph and Wilma Iriarte. He graduated from Davis High School and attended Yakima Community College. Highlights in Jerry’s career include: joining the Marines, Air National Guard service as a civil engineer, working for Boeing and Washington State Employment Security. His military service enabled him to do humanitarian work in 3rd world countries. 

 

Jerry had a rich personal life. Jerry and Evonne (Ostle) Iriarte destined to meet one another, were married in Olympia, Washington where they resided for 37 years. These two traveled to many places around the world but Alaskan fishing trips were their absolute favorite adventures together. During this wonderful relationship they cherished their time with grandson Brynn Iriarte and Brynn’s mother Ann Lane. Other family members include Mark and Anne Hedin, Gregg Hedin (1971-2024), and numerous other relatives. Jerry had many beloved pets throughout his life as well. 

 

Jerry had long life friends as he was an outgoing social man. As a member of Saint Michaels he looked forward each week to meet with his men’s group. His steady upbeat personality will be missed by many and will remain in our hearts as we celebrate his ability to add goodness and love into the world.
