Obituary of Gerald McMackin

Gerald (Jerry) McMackin passed away suddenly on Wednesday, January 10, 2018 at the age of 78. Jerry was born on October 1, 1939 in Sturgis, SD, but he grew up in Oregon in the Willamette Valley. It was there that he met his best friend and wife of over 50 years, Beverly. Jerry and Bev moved to Boise, ID in 1975 where they raised their two children. His career gave them the opportunity to live in Washington, California and Connecticut. They embraced and took full advantage of the chance to enjoy new experiences. Bev and Jerry eventually retired in Meridian, ID to live closer to their grandchildren. Jerry had many hobbies and interests, but he was most passionate about golf and was thrilled to share his love of the sport with his grandson. It was on the golf course that Jerry developed some of his closest friendships. Jerry loved and treasured spending time with his grandchildren Dylan, Ashleigh and Bailey. Jerry was truly an exceptional husband, father and grandfather. He will be greatly missed by his wife Beverly, his daughter Michele Cisario (Michael), his son Dean McMackin (Laurie), his 3 grandchildren, brother Dennis (Lindy) and brother-in-law Donnie (Teresa) as well as many other friends, relatives and loved ones. A Celebration of Life will be held at Banbury Golf Course on January 27, 2018 between 3pm and 5pm.
