Jerre David West “P Wee”, 59 years old unexpectedly went to be with his Lord and Savior on April 27, 2024. “Oh, that I may learn to be stronger than my pain. And that I may find a way to live again. Not with you, but with you, always with you, who is my all”. ~ Of Waves and Butterflies~
Preceded in death by his parents Ruthie (Stemen) West and Clarence “Dutch” West. He is survived by his loving wife of 21 years (May 10th), Tamara (Willis) West; children, Brieanna, Jay (Mickala), Jeremy, Jacob and Isabelle; grandchildren, Ellena Mae and Hunter Rae; brother, William “Wild Bill” (Debbie) West and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Jerre worked for 38 years as a Firefighter / Paramedic / Lieutenant at West Licking Fire District. He loved to help his children during their journey with 4H. Jerre enjoyed “glamping” with his family, Sean and Heidi Clipner, campfires, visiting different campsites but his most favorite was the KOA in Mt. Gilead. He loved his dogs, his Hereford cows, working alongside his brother on his family’s farm, and cooking whatever his wife dreamed up but was exceptionally amazing at smoking brisket. Jerre was a member of Church of the Ascension in Johnstown and loved mass and the rosary. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus Council 4324. Jerre was our biggest fan, best hugger, calm in the storm and light to our lives. We all have so many beautiful memories of this beautiful soul and we are all better for knowing him.
