Soukeroff, Jerry

August 18, 1958 – September 23, 2020
at the age of 62 years

Jerry will be deeply missed in the world. Jerry was an easy going, generous fellow with a great sense of humour. You could drop him into a group of strangers and before long they would all be friends.

Jerry married Lisa, the love of his life and best friend, in 1981. They were married for 39 years. He was proud of his sons Nathan and Colin and loved spending time with their families. The birth of his granddaughters brought him great joy.

Jerry grew up in Shoreacres, son to Anne and George Soukeroff. He was the third child of four children. In his youth he went to school in Castlegar, participating in the Doukhobor Choir and many sports teams. Upon graduating from Selkirk College in Electronics Technology, Jerry started his career with Xerox Canada and retired after 39 years. In 1985 Jerry and his family moved from Prince George to Salmon Arm and found their home. For the last 25 years, Jerry and his family have made many memories in Bucerias, Mexico. As a family they also enjoyed dirt biking, boating, traveling, kayaking, and gardening. Jerry was a loving husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle, and friend.

  1. It is very sad to hear about Jerry’s passing. He was the best technician Xerox ever had. He was knowledgeable and quick when he attack those machines, but the best part of his visits was Jerry’s sense of humour. We always enjoyed the office banter when he was around, in fact I think sometimes the machines were misaligned on purpose so we could have a visit from Jerry. Seeing him walk through the door always brought a smile to our staff.

  2. Met Jerry and Lisa at the Legion.
    Lots of fun memories!
    HUGS for you Lisa and your family.

  3. Lisa and family,

    I met Jerry through darts. When I first spoke with him over the phone I thought ” no one is this open, relaxed and welcoming”. Well I was wrong. He was truly a fine fellow and will be sadly missed. Our thoughts are with you.

  17. My dearest Lisa, Nathan, Colin, as well as Jerry’s extended family, and his brother, Dan, Sister’s Evelyn and Vickie. This came as such a shocker to me and my family. Sending everyone my love and condolences. Jerry was indeed a wonderful person with a fantastic sense of humour. I was definitely lucky to have been able to grow up in the same neighbourhood of Shoreacres and new Jerry from the day that I was first born. He was always so kind and caring. I remember the days that he and Lisa would come over to my parent’s place in Salmon Arm for our small Doukhobor prayer meetings that we had. I will miss him dearly. Our Creator has gained another wonderful soul. May Jerry be resting in God’s Heavenly Kingdom always and be reunited once again with his parents and other friends and relatives. God Bless each and every one of you! Much love to each and every one of you! May you all find the strength to move forward and just remember all the wonderful times you all had with him as that is what he would want you to do! Don’t be angry with him for leaving because he truly will never leave any of the people who’s lives he touched as he will always be in your hearts and well as mine! Веная Памить!!!
