Gerald “Jerry” T. Glunz, age 57 of Buffalo, passed away on May 24, 2017 at North Memorial Hospital after a courageous battle with cancer.

Jerry was born the son of Jerome and Kathleen (Zinken) Glunz on June 8, 1959 in Buffalo, MN.
He attended school in Buffalo “whenever he wasn’t needed at home,” as Jerry put it. At the age of 18 he began working at Liberty Carton Company and worked there for 38 years, retiring as the shipping lead man.

Jerry was united in marriage to Debra (Puncochar) in Annandale, MN on April 25, 1987. God blessed their marriage with two children that were his pride and joy.

Jerry enjoyed hunting, fishing, and entertaining family and friends. He was especially proud of his Ford truck and kept it meticulous at all times.

Jerry is survived by loving wife Debra; children Matthew Glunz (fiancé Samantha Wolbeck) and Michaela Glunz (significant other Tyler Ring); special friends Ken & Lisa Evavold; siblings Bonnie (Hal) Berger, Margie Peterson, Sandy (Chuck) Davidson, Debbie (Al) Huikko, Bobby (Barb) Glunz, Jim (Cindy) Glunz, Fred Glunz, John (Kim) Glunz, and Dana (Rick) Meyer; mother-in-law Kathleen Dvorak; brothers-in-law; faithful companion Max; furry grandbabies Willow and Brooke; along with numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

He is preceded in death by parents Jerome & Kathleen Glunz; infant sister Monica Gail Glunz; father-in-law Louis “Bud” Puncochar; step father-in-law Joseph Dvorak; and brother-in-law Edwin Peterson.

Memorial services for Jerry will be held Tuesday, May 30th. Visitation starting at 4:00 p.m. and a prayer service at 7:00 p.m. at The Peterson Chapel in Buffalo. Officiating Pastor Marc Nagel.

Private family interment to be held at a later date.
