09/01/2020 Jerry Hawkinson junior year picture. I'm sorry to have to announce that Jerry Hawkinson '67 passed away on 08/31. Jerry passed way at home in his sleep according to his son Mike Hawkinson

There will be no services and Jerry will be cremated.

Jerry had two younger siblings, Ed Hawinson '69 who passed away a couple years ago, and a sister Marlene who I believe graduated from Stevenson HS. Marlene was tragically killed in an MVA in Texas where she was living a couple years back.
Jerry was a Viet Nam veteran, and a proud Harley rider.

If you would like to send personal condolences to Jerry's son Mike, here is his Facebook page address: https://www.facebook.com/mike.hawkinson. I'm sure Mike would also appreciate any personal pictures you have of his dad from back in the day.

Here is a message one of his sons, Kurt Depoy.
My dad Dean R DePoy passed away this morning here in Florida. I was so blessed to be with him and share several I love you’s last night. He held my hand and told me how much he loved me and my brother Erik DePoy. My heart is broken but I know he’s in heaven today with his 2 precious dogs he loved so dearly. I love this picture, taken a few years ago, showing him so happy. I love you dad and miss you so much. I can’t believe you’re gone.
