One of the hardest working men I’ve ever known. He will be missed by many. My deep felt sympathy to his wonderful family. Sandra Canfield
One of the hardest working men I’ve ever has the pleasure of knowing. His strong love for his family and his commitment to his profession has been a true inspiration to me. He will be missed by many and never forgotten.
I am so thankful that I got to see and talk to Jerry Wayne at Aunt Al’s funeral back in March. What a genuine person Jerry Wayne always was. My prayers go out to Paula and the entire Jerry Wayne Felsing family.
May God give peace and comfort when the winds roar and the rains come. May he continue to speak peace to Jerry’s family and friends. Jerry was a kind and wonderful friend. Even though we didn’t often spend time together and the years rushed by, we easily picked up right where we left off.
May God bless your family in the days to come and know that God understands and loves us thru our time of need.
Rest in peace. May God bless Jerry’s family and give them comfort at this sorrowful time.
I have a funny story to tell you, I have never forgotten. Our family and friends were all camping down the river lot in NB, by there house on, anyways it started raining up near Canyon and we didn’t know, but apparently there was a whole bunch of water getting ready to come down the river. Jerry Wayne and Paula came down to get us, probably twenty of us or more. We packed up what we could and drove all the cars, trucks, etc. to their house. This was like midnight or so. Anyways, Paula told me you can sleep in our room on a pallet of blankets, because the living room was packed with everyone else. I will never forget the snoring in that room, oh my gosh. I wasn’t sure if it was snoring or the train coming by. Lol. I will now treasure that memory with me forever. I just loved them, we have not seen a lot of each other lately but when we still had the river place in the Guadalupe we had a lot of fun times together. I know the entire family was there to welcome him to God’s kingdom. ❤️❤️
My condolences to the Felsing families. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of dear Jerry. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: “Your dead ones will live…They will rise up”. And the Bible also says “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will forever reside upon it”. Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ’s ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in a world without wickedness or suffering. I hope that these scriptures will be of some comfort to you.
What a sweet man. Life is so strange but full of treasures. I had the privilege of living a couple of miles down the road from Jerry and Paula in Floresville while growing up. In my adult years I bought a house across the street from his family home in New Braunfels but had no idea while I was looking at my house who lived across the street. Several years before that I belonged to a Homemakers Club that his mother belonged to. It was pretty cool when I realized who she was. A very sweet lady. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for strength for the family.
Our condolences to the Felsing families. Our prayers to you as you go through this difficult time! Know he is still with family pain free and has instilled in each of his children a strength and love to be cherished and passed on. I remember Mr. Felsing as Diane’s friend to be a very hard working individual who loved his family very much and showed this through his dedication and love. He had a great sense of humor and was always helping out. He has always been the most important man in Diane’s life. He will be greatly missed and always loved. God Bless you all❤️
