Jerry Bass

Jerry Bass, 83 of Lake Montezuma, left this earth on February 21, 2018 and joined his heavenly father. He was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on August 13, 1934. He married the love of his life Sandra Bass on July 27, 1974 in Las Vegas. Jerry is survived by his wife Sandy; his daughters Sherry May (Mike) of Utah and Cindy OBrien of Colorado and his five grandchildren who he loved and was very proud of: Jessica, Daniel, Justin, Amanda and Sarah. He is also survived by his sister in Apache Junction and his brother in Tucson. Jerry played music in his band (the Country Way) his entire life. He played his early years in Missouri traveling with his band going to the next gig. He continued that dream when he arrived in Phoenix, AZ in 1963. He played gigs all over the Phoenix area. When he moved to Northern Arizona he was still playing gigs nonstop until he retired at 80. He has so many friends we couldnt list them all. You all know who you are. He was also very active in his Baptist Church where he served God and shared himself and his music. We are heartbroken over this sudden loss, but we will all see him again someday. He will be dearly missed by all who were lucky enough to know this man. A memorial service will be held on March 31st at 11:00am at Verde Valley Baptist Church, 299 W. Hollamon St. in Camp Verde.
