Jerome was born on October 15, 1947 in Bismarck, ND to Jack and Delora (Klaus) Nathan. He earned his B.S. degree at North Dakota State University (NDSU). He was united in marriage to Sharon Peters on May 27, 1977 in Davenport, IA. Jerome worked as a mechanical engineer at the Rock Island Arsenal, retiring after 33 years. After retiring, he went on to work as a consulting engineer for Mandus Group in Rock Island, IL. Jerome was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church. He led a very faith based life. Family was his main priority; his most precious time was spent with his family and close friends. Jerome enjoyed traveling with his wife, Sharon, whether taking a short trip to Chicago or a family trip to Disney. He was always finding time to increase his knowledge on all subjects. There was not a subject he did not try to learn more about. He will be missed for his infectious smile, joking personality and talking and sharing stories.
Survivors include his loving wife, Sharon; daughter, Shelli “Peters” (Larry) Meyer of Louisville, CO; grandchildren, Jonathan and Kathryn Meyer; brothers, Kevin (Lee) Nathan and Kirk (Mary) Nathan and brother-in-law, Clifford Dittmer.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
