It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Jerry on December 15, 2024 at the age of 67 years. Son of the late Harvey and Mary McCoy (nee King), and of Marjorie (nee Trimble). Beloved husband of June McCoy. Loving father of Melissa McCoy (Bob Burnett), Scott McCoy, and step-father of Angela Canning. Dear grandpa of Ava, Landen, and Desiree, and Jordan. Brother of Sandra Klages, and Dennis Trimble.
Jerry was a man who thrived on staying busy and filling his time with meaningful activities. A dedicated provider, he always ensured the well-being of his family and wife, June. Known for his calm and easygoing nature, Jerry approached life with hard work and a steady hand. He was a warm and loving individual who left a lasting impression on all who knew him. Canada Day celebrations were especially memorable for Jerry, as he enjoyed a good party with loved ones and friends to mark the occasion.
In accordance with Jerry’s wishes, cremation has taken place. His urn will be placed in the family plot in the spring of 2025. A Celebration of Life will also be held in the spring of 2025.

Posted on: Friday, December 20, 2024Very sad to hear of Jerry’s passing. As his cousins (children of his auntJoyce Bumstead nee King) , we have fond childhood memories of Jerry from our visits to the farmhouse near Chesley. I remember rafts like Huckleberry Finn’s (Mark Twain) being made to take down the river that flowed beside his childhood home. I am very grateful that Jerry was able to reconnect with us in recent years and that we were able to met June. Our sympathies to her and his children and others who also enjoyed his mischievous smile and good humoured nature.

Posted on: Friday, December 20, 2024So very sorry for your loss. Cousin Jerry was a blast when we were younger, many fond memories as I spent a week in the summers on the farm. We often got in trouble but that’s what kids do. Lost touch for several years as I moved out west. Recently met and reminisced at Aunt Evelyn’s and it was great to see him again.
Sadly we never got to see his home and family in Washago.
Dan & Wendy & family.

Posted on: Friday, December 20, 2024We are very saddened with the passing of Jerry. He was a good friend and neighbor. Jerry was always smiling and laughing. He always made sure to wave every time we went by his house. Jerry was so kind, funny caring and passionate. Jerry was always by June’s side like two peas in a pod. Condolences too June , the family and all those who knew him. Xoxo
Love always

Posted on: Friday, December 20, 2024We were very sad to hear of Jerry’s passing. As youngsters Jerry and I spent a great deal of time together, playing on various sports teams, camping, and just generally hanging out together. Great memories as kids going to Keady livestock sales with Jerry and his dad Harv and maybe getting an ice cream cone afterwards. Our condolences to June and family. He will be missed.
