Gerald Frank Mack, son of Frank and Clara (Kraft) Mack, was born July 8, 1944 on the family farm southwest of Drake where he grew up and began farming with his father at an early age. He received his education at the Drake Public School. Jerry continued farming for many years with his brother Allen and later with his nephews. He enjoyed visits from his brother Rick, whether it was to hunt together or work around the farm fixing fence or repairing machinery or buildings. Jerry loved life on the farm and especially enjoyed raising his cattle and building things with metal.

Gerald was a member of the St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus Council No. 5856 of Drake.

He is survived by his brothers, Allen (Kay) Mack of Drake and Richard Mack of Hazen; and a number of nieces and nephews who he loved spending time with.

Gerald was preceded in death by his parents and sister-in-law, Gladys Mack.
