Jerry Wayne Gorby Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on May 4, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Jerry Wayne Gorby (Oconomowoc, Wisconsin), born in Washington, Pennsylvania. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

Though his name may fade from the lips of time, the imprint Jerry Wayne leaves upon the hearts of his loved ones remains eternally vivid — a testament to the depth of his spirit and the richness of his legacy.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Florence Gorby and Harold Gorby; and his brother Douglas Gorby. He is survived by: his wife Carolyn Gorby; his daughters, Tricia Gorby and Tina Jones (Paul Jones); and his grandchildren, Ciara, Sydney, Donovan Jones, Aysha and Kai Knoot.

But in lieu of flowers, if you feel moved to honor Jerry's memory in a lasting way, donations may be made to the Jerry W. Gorby Scholarship Fund at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater.
