Gerald "Jerry" Lee Ronsman, 89, of Round Lake, passed through death into eternal life Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at Advocate Condell Medical Center, Libertyville, after a brief battle with bladder cancer.  He was born to Henry and Rose (nee Runnoe) Ronsman on February 22, 1937, in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Jerry enjoyed cheering on the Green Bay Packers, family reunions at Camp Susan, and his annual golf trips with family and friends.  Jerry loved his pool leagues—playing at Yvonne's for over 25 years.  He could also be found swearing and cussing on his summer golf league.  Jerry loved to build things, with his last project being an arch he built for Casey and Kevin to be married in front of in June of 2026.

Jerry is survived by his wife, Denise (nee Dehne); daughters, Zane (Benny), Cindy, and Laura; sons, Joe (Peggy), Jeff, and Bill (Tracy); brother, Pat (Sharon); sisters, Diane, Kathy, and Jane; grandchildren, Donny, Stephanie (Kevin), Casey (Kevin), Stephen (Stevie), Danny (Emily), Michelle, Jake, Emily (Liam), Aubrey, Sean, and Heather; great-grandchildren, Caden, Carter, Leo, Rocco, Romey, and Waylon; and many nieces and nephews.

He is further survived by his stepchildren, Shane, Nathan, Steven, Tanya (Steve), Desiree (Brandon), Ryan (Jessica), and their many children and grandchildren.

Jerry was preceded in death by his first wife, Patricia Ann; his daughter, Debbie; his parents; brothers, Ron, Bob, and Tom; and sister, Kaye.
