Calif., passed away on May 25, 2012, at Memorial Medical Center in Modesto,

Jerry was a beloved, kind, and fun-loving family-centered man. He enjoyed 
spending his time making others laugh and bringing a little bit of joy to 
everyone he met. Jerry worked as a tugboat deckhand and bouncer until he could 
no longer work and spent the rest of his life dedicated to helping family and 
friends. Jerry enjoyed getting out and seeing the natural wonders of the world 
around him and took advantage of every opportunity to do so. He will be sorely 
missed by all of his family and friends.

mother, Gladys White Ackman Aucoin; sisters, Ozelia Ackman, Caro Beason and

Ackman, all of Belle River, LeeDonna Ackman Atchley and Pam Ackman Dupuy 
Dehart, both of Bayou Vista, and Dianne Ackman Sauce of Ricohoc; his brothers,

Dalton Ackman Jr. of Bay St. Louis, Miss., and Ben Ackman and his wife Bridgett 
Ackman; his son, Brandon Ackman; his daughters, Britney Ackman Galvan and 
Meghan Baham; and numerous nieces and nephews.
