Jack M. Zerfoss

Jack M. Zerfoss, 80, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday September 24, 2022 at Indiana Hospital. Born on April 12, 1942, Jack was the son of the late Ralph M. and Florence A. (Ewing) Zerfoss Jr.

Mr. Zerfoss loved all kinds of outdoor activities. Whether hunting, fishing or softball, spending time with his kids and teaching them how to live a Christian life was the most important thing to him. Jack always put forth his best so others could see Christ through him. He was a member of the Gospel group “The Gospel Melodies” for many years; of which he sang with his wife, sister and brother-in-law. Jack had a passion for Southern Gospel Music. Even in his last days on this earth, you could hear him singing the songs of Zion. Mr. Zerfoss was a member of the Independent Traditional Holiness Church of Indiana. Jack loved his church and his fellow worshipers and friends. When the doors to the church were open, you always knew where he would be. His walk with Jesus was extremely important. Jack retired from Beckwith Machining with over 40 years of service.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife; Patricia A. (Ramsell) Zerfoss, whom he married on June 30, 1962 – on which the couple celebrated their 60 ^th anniversary; three sons, Jeffery Zerfoss and wife, Kelli of Lucerne-Mines, Timothy Zerfoss and wife, Judy of Blairsville, Mark Zerfoss of Coral; daughter, Linda Fry and husband, Keith of Lucerne-Mines; sister, Anita Stevens whom he loved dearly and husband, Fred who was just like a brother; six grandchildren, Cortney, Ashley, Mike, Kierisa, Emily and Matthew; and one great-grandchild, Aiden.
